Development of Novel Feature For Iris Biometrics
IRIS is one of the supreme biometric trait available, whose accuracy surprises everyone, better then DNA. There are numbered of algorithms proposed for the efficient result but fails due to limitations. All traditional iris recognition systems are not meant especially for iris image. They are being derived from other trades hoping that it will work with iris also. The mainly known feature in iris biometric is J Daugman’s Gabor filter. He has used Wavelet equation an applied Integro-differentiation operator to obtain Gabor filter. In this thesis, we have proposed a new scheme in feature detection, particularly for iris Biometric. We have taken Wavelet as a base equation and apply complex-exponential in the presence of Gaussian envelop. Our approach starts with the efficient sector based normalization and noise removal techniques, in the pre-processing phase of iris biometric. Then Creating feature keypixel from that normalised image. The enhancement of the keypixel is done to increase accuracy rate
Anonymous subject identification and privacy information management in video surveillance
The widespread deployment of surveillance cameras has raised serious privacy concerns, and many privacy-enhancing schemes have been recently proposed to automatically redact images of selected individuals in the surveillance video for protection. Of equal importance are the privacy and efficiency of techniques to first, identify those individuals for privacy protection and second, provide access to original surveillance video contents for security analysis. In this paper, we propose an anonymous subject identification and privacy data management system to be used in privacy-aware video surveillance. The anonymous subject identification system uses iris patterns to identify individuals for privacy protection. Anonymity of the iris-matching process is guaranteed through the use of a garbled-circuit (GC)-based iris matching protocol. A novel GC complexity reduction scheme is proposed by simplifying the iris masking process in the protocol. A user-centric privacy information management system is also proposed that allows subjects to anonymously access their privacy information via their iris patterns. The system is composed of two encrypted-domain protocols: The privacy information encryption protocol encrypts the original video records using the iris pattern acquired during the subject identification phase; the privacy information retrieval protocol allows the video records to be anonymously retrieved through a GC-based iris pattern matching process. Experimental results on a public iris biometric database demonstrate the validity of our framework
UBSegNet: Unified Biometric Region of Interest Segmentation Network
Digital human identity management, can now be seen as a social necessity, as
it is essentially required in almost every public sector such as, financial
inclusions, security, banking, social networking e.t.c. Hence, in today's
rampantly emerging world with so many adversarial entities, relying on a single
biometric trait is being too optimistic. In this paper, we have proposed a
novel end-to-end, Unified Biometric ROI Segmentation Network (UBSegNet), for
extracting region of interest from five different biometric traits viz. face,
iris, palm, knuckle and 4-slap fingerprint. The architecture of the proposed
UBSegNet consists of two stages: (i) Trait classification and (ii) Trait
localization. For these stages, we have used a state of the art region based
convolutional neural network (RCNN), comprising of three major parts namely
convolutional layers, region proposal network (RPN) along with classification
and regression heads. The model has been evaluated over various huge publicly
available biometric databases. To the best of our knowledge this is the first
unified architecture proposed, segmenting multiple biometric traits. It has
been tested over around 5000 * 5 = 25,000 images (5000 images per trait) and
produces very good results. Our work on unified biometric segmentation, opens
up the vast opportunities in the field of multiple biometric traits based
authentication systems.Comment: 4th Asian Conference on Pattern Recognition (ACPR 2017
MobiBits: Multimodal Mobile Biometric Database
This paper presents a novel database comprising representations of five
different biometric characteristics, collected in a mobile, unconstrained or
semi-constrained setting with three different mobile devices, including
characteristics previously unavailable in existing datasets, namely hand
images, thermal hand images, and thermal face images, all acquired with a
mobile, off-the-shelf device. In addition to this collection of data we perform
an extensive set of experiments providing insight on benchmark recognition
performance that can be achieved with these data, carried out with existing
commercial and academic biometric solutions. This is the first known to us
mobile biometric database introducing samples of biometric traits such as
thermal hand images and thermal face images. We hope that this contribution
will make a valuable addition to the already existing databases and enable new
experiments and studies in the field of mobile authentication. The MobiBits
database is made publicly available to the research community at no cost for
non-commercial purposes.Comment: Submitted for the BIOSIG2018 conference on June 18, 2018. Accepted
