Iris Recognition System Using Principal Component Analysis based Back-Propagation Learning Neural Networks
Abstract: This paper deals with the iris recognition system using Back-Propagation learning neural network algorithm where Principal Component Analysis technique has been used to reduce the dimension of the iris feature vector. Automated iris localization and segmentation methods have applied to effectively isolate the iris region from pupil and sclera. Circular Hogue transform has used to detect the iris/sclera boundary and pupil/iris boundary. To remove the upper and lower eyelids effects …
