| Summary: | Iris recognition is widely regarded as one of the most reliable biometric identification technologies. Traditional methods, such as the Daugman algorithm typically normalize the annular iris region into a rectangular format during the preprocessing stage, followed by feature extraction and matching. However, these preprocessing steps often introduce distortions and struggle to adapt to multiresolution images, leading to inaccurate feature encoding. In response to these limitations, we propose a weak preprocessing algorithm for iris recognition that effectively preserves both grayscale and structural information of the iris. This approach is highly adaptable to varying image resolutions by leveraging a multiscale structural information extraction framework. It demonstrates significant improvements, achieving a matching accuracy of 96.67% on our proprietary dataset and 90% on the CASIA-IrisV4 dataset. Compared to the Daugman and OsIris 4.0 algorithm using weak preprocessing schemes, our approach improves accuracy by 15.55% and reduces matching time by 16%. More importantly, this method presents a new idea that is different from traditional preprocessing methods with wider adaptability. It offers considerable potential for real-world applications in security, with promising prospects for further integration with deep learning techniques. |
