Abstract
The Biometric recognition is the study of identifying individuals based on their unique physiological or behavioral characteristics, includes iris, face, fingerprint, retina, vein, hand geometry, hand writing, human gait, signature, keystrokes and voice. Among the biometrics, an iris has unique structure and it remains stable over a person life time. So that iris recognition is regarded as the most accurate and reliable biometric recognition system. In this paper, we proposed a technique that uses Principal Component Analysis (PCA) based on Discrete Wavelet Transformation (DWT) for selecting feature of iris templates to increase the efficiency of iris recognition. Basically, the idea of DWT is to convert the iris image into four frequency band. We are using one frequency band instead of four and applying PCA for further feature extraction. Experiments with iris images from the CASIA database present good results, showing that the proposed combination strategy of feature extraction is suitable for increasing accuracy of iris recognition.
