Abstract
An iris identification algorithm is proposed based on adaptive thresholding. The iris images are processed fully in the spatial domain using the distinct features (patterns) of the iris. A simple adaptive thresholding method is used to segment these patterns from the rest of an iris image. This method could possibly be utilized for partial iris recognition since it relaxes the requirement of using a majority of the iris to produce an iris template to compare with the database. In addition, the simple thresholding scheme can improve the computational efficiency of the algorithm. Preliminary results have shown that the method is very effective. However, further testing and improvements are envisioned.
