| Abstract: | This article presents the new biometric electro-optical measuring method supported by PC for identification of a person by its eye iris image recognition. The aim of this approach is to show the ability of mutual information to such recognition. Couples of the comparative human iris images were geometrically aligned by maximization of their mutual information and subsequently recognized. The mutual information was estimated using the efficient algorithm proposed by G. A. Darbellay and I. Vajda. The decision whether two compared iris images belong to the same eye depends on the chosen threshold of the mutual information. Only a simple preprocessing of the iris images is needed to acquire their characteristic geometric parameters before the recognition is performed. The investigations carried out showed the correct (successful) personal identification better than 99%. |
