Cross spectral iris matching based on predictive image mapping

An adaptive method to predict NIR channel image from color iris images is introduced. Both visual inspection of the predicted image and the verification performance indicate that the adaptive mapping linking NIR image and color image is a potential solution to the problem of matching NIR images vs. color images in practice. When matched against NIR enrolled image the predicted NIR image achieves significantly high performance compared to the case when the same NIR image is matched against R channel alone.
