The objective of this paper is to present the state of art in iris indexing. The potential raise of accurateness along with enhanced robustness beside forgeries makes in fact iris recognition a promising field for research. The performance of a biometric system is evaluated based on the retrieval time and error rate which are dependent on the size of the database and hence the need for indexing. Iris indexing can be categorized based on the texture analysis, color and SFIT key point. Further the paper discusses the description of some databases used for indexing techniques to prove the efficiency. The performance evaluation metrics are also discussed.
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.
