Three-Dimensional Head-Pose Estimation for Smart Iris Recognition from a Calibrated Camera

الملخص EN

Current research in biometrics aims to develop high-performance tools, which would make it possible to better extract the traits specific to each individual and to grasp their discriminating characteristics.

This research is based on high-level analyses of images, captured from the candidate to identify, for a better understanding and interpretation of these signals.

Several biometric identification systems exist.

The recognition systems based on the iris have many advantages and they are among the most reliable.

In this paper, we propose a new approach based on biometric iris authentication.

A new scheme was made in this work that consists of calculating a three-dimensional head pose to capture a good iris image from a video sequence which affects the identification results.

From this image, we were able to locate the iris and analyse its texture by intelligent use of Meyer wavelets.

Our approach was evaluated and approved through two databases CASIA Iris Distance and MiraclHB.

The comparative study showed its effectiveness compared to those in the literature.
