Iris recognition is one of the Biometric systems used for persons identification based on their special iris traits, which are unique featuresfor each individual. It is clear that the progress in deep learning show how efficient the extracted features from convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to describe the complex image patterns. However, the influence of noise is a serious problem in most image processing systems. It may ariseto the iris recognition systems due to environmental conditions that can affects the features extracted from the iris images. Hence, the objective of this paper is to study the performance of CNNs based Deep learning (Alex net, Vgg16 and Vgg19) when used for iris recognition with the presence of noise and compares it with Masek algorithm. Simulation results reveal that using the deep learning greatly improves iris recognition accuracy for Alex CNN. We achieve 100%, 100%, 88.9% for interval, lamp and twins datasets respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
