Iris features extraction using wavelet packets

This article presents an application of wavelet packet analysis to the features extraction part of an iris recognition system. An energy measure is used to identify the particular packets that carries discriminating information about the iris texture. Several different orthogonal wavelets arc tested and a comparison to nonorthogonal analysis using Gabor wavelets is done. The experimental results show 100% correct classifications when applying the algorithm on an iris image database and the new algorithm is therefore an interesting alternative to Gabor based methods.
