Severalsystems require authenticating a person's identity before giving access to resources. With new advances in technology, biometrics is one of the most promising techniques in human recognition. Biometrics intends to identify a person by his physical and/or behavioural characteristics. This paper presents an approach for human authentication based on iris texture analysis. In this paper, we present a HW/SW implementation algorithm for detection and localisation of iris based on shape properties. The designed system has been implemented in a CYCLONE II DE2 Board using the NIOS II processor which is characterized by its flexibility and programmability. The data base CASIA version 1.0 is used for the test. The experimental results of the approach show the performance of our algorithms.
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.
