Custom JPEG Quantization for Improved Iris Recognition Accuracy

Custom JPEG quantization matrices are proposed to be used in the context of compression within iris recognition. Superior matching results in terms of average Hamming distance and improved ROC is found as compared to the use of the default quantization table especially for low FAR. This leads to improved user convenience in case high security is required.
