Feature Extraction of an Iris Image to Develop Iris Based Biometric Recognition System

An iris based biometric recognition system provides identification of an individual based on a unique feature or characteristic possessed by that individual. Iris recognition is consider as the most reliable and accurate biometric identification system. In this paper we explore the performance of the iris based recognition system. We take iris image of ten different people and after segmentation and normalization we create iris template. This iris template can further be used for iris matching and hence person recognition. For determining the iris feature extraction performance the system database of digitized grayscale eye images were used.
