Abstract

Recently, there have been previous research about the iris recognition in mobile device to increase portability, whose accuracy is affected by the quality of iris image. Iris image is affected by illumination environment during the image acquisition. The existing system has high accuracy in indoor environment. However the accuracy is degraded in outdoor environment, because the gray levels of iris patterns in image are changed, and ghost and eyelash shading regions are produced by the sunlight of various wavelengths into iris region. To overcome these problems, we propose new mobile iris camera system which uses the near-infrared (NIR) light illuminator of 850 nm and band pass filter (BPF) of 850 nm. To measure the performance of the proposed system, we compared it to the existing one with the iris images captured in indoor and outdoor sunlight environments in terms of the equal error rates (EER) based on false acceptance rate (FAR) and false rejection rate (FRR). The experimental result showed that the proposed system had the lower EERs than those of previous system by 0.96% (with frontal light in indoors), 4.94% (with frontal light in outdoor), 9.24% (with side light in outdoor), and 7% (with back light in outdoor), respectively.

최근, 휴대성과 이동성이 뛰어난 모바일 단말기 환경에 홍채 인식 기술을 도입하여 신원을 확인하는 연구가 진행 되었는데, 이러한 모바일 홍채 인식 시스템은 취득된 홍채 영상 품질에 따라 인식률이 좌우된다. 홍채 영상은 취득 시 조명환경에 영향을 많이 받게 되는데, 기존의 시스템은 태양광이 없는 실내에서는 높은 인식률을 보이나, 실외 태양광 환경에서는 외부태양광이 홍채 영역에 투사되어 입력 영상 내에서 홍채 패턴의 그레이 레벨 변화, 고스트(Ghost region) 및 속눈썹 그림자(Eyelash shading region) 발생 등의 요인으로 인식 성능 저하를 초래하는 문제가 있었다. 이를 해결하기 위하여, 본 연구에서는 850nm 근적외선 조명과 850nm 대역 밴드 패스 필터를 장착한 홍채 카메라 시스템을 제안한다. 성능 평가를 위해 기존의 홍채 인식시스템과 제안하는 홍채 인식 시스템을 사용하여 실내 및 실외 태양광 환경에서 취득한 홍채 영상으로부터 홍채코드를 추출한 후 타인 수락률(False Acceptance Rate), 본인 거부율 (False Rejection Rate)을 통한 균등 에러율(EER, Equal Error Rate)을 측정하였다. 실험 결과 기존의 시스템 보다 제안하는 시스템의 EER이 실내 정면 조명일 때 약 0.96%, 실외 정면 조명일 때 약 4.94%, 실외 측면 조명일 때 약 9.24%, 실외 후면 조명일 때 약 7% 낮아지는 개선된 성능을 보였다.
