IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence 2009

2009 IEEE Workshop on Computational Intelligence in Biometrics: Theory, Algorithms, and Applications - Special Sessions:

Special Session on Computational Intelligence in Iris Recognition

Iris recognition has been tested to be the most accurate biometrics by far. However, the accuracy and performance of current iris recognition systems can decrease dramatically when working with poor quality images or in non-idea situations. Computational intelligence technology, has been successfully used in image processing, pattern recognition and machine learning, is an ideal approach to deal with iris recognition challenges. The purpose of this session is to provide a scientific forum for researchers, engineers, system architects and designers to discuss and report recent advances in the area of computational intelligence for iris recognition, iris image analysis, and related technologies.

The special session will consider the use of computational intelligence in the following areas, but not limited to:

   * iris recognition methods in non-idea situations
   * non-cooperative iris recognition methods/systems
   * remote iris recognition methods/systems
   * iris surveillance systems/methods
   * iris image quality measures
   * iris image compression
   * iris image encryption
