Abstract

Rotation compensation is one of the computational bottlenecks in large scale iris-based identification schemes, since a significant amount of Hamming distance computations is required in a single match due to the necessary shifting of the iris codes to compensate for eye tilt. To cope with this problem, a serial classifier combination approach is proposed for iris-based identification, combining rotation-invariant pre-selection with a traditional rotation compensating iris code-based scheme. The primary aim, a reduction of computational complexity, can easily be met - at comparable recognition accuracy, the computational effort required is reduced to 20% or even less of the fully fledged iris code based scheme. As a by-product, the recognition accuracy is shown to be additionally improved in open-set scenarios.
