Iris is claimed to be one of the best biometrics. We have collected a large data set of iris images, intentionally sampling a range of quality broader than that used by current commercial iris recognition systems. We have re-implemented the Daugman-like iris recognition algorithm developed by Masek. We have also developed and implemented an improved iris segmentation and eyelid detection stage of the algorithm, and experimentally verified the improvement in recognition performance using the collected dataset. Compared to Masek?s original segmentation approach, our improved segmentation algorithm leads to an increase of over 6% in the rank-one recognition rate.
