Sift-based iris recognition using sub-segments

In this paper, we investigate the use of Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) for iris recognition problem with sub-segments. Instead of using the whole iris, we extracted sub-segments from the iris image for classification. These subsegments were used separately for classification. Also, feature based fusion is applied using different sub-segments from the same iris. A preprocessing step for cropping the iris area from the images was address in this paper as well to increase performance of the system. The simulation results show high performance on the used database.
