Observing the Effects of Colored Lenses on Iris Recognition using Feature Extraction Technique

Adityavardhan Chavali, Dr. C. Nalini

Iris templates can be matched using various matching techniques; each approach to iris recognition has several aspects being taken into consideration. One of the most important aspect being the presence of a lens in the users eye. The biometric templates, including iris and users attributes which are produced by using different recognition techniques can be matched through the Iris-templates can be replicated. From this we conclude that, without a thorough security analysis, iris templates cannot be assumed safe and secure. In this paper, we are going to discuss about the presence of a contact lens, particularly a colored lens, and the challenges we face as it alters the natural iris patterns. In this paper we will use a feature extraction method to remove the effect of colored contact lenses and make it more secure. This has proven to be very efficient and also less space consuming.
