Iris Recognition Using Low-Level CNN Layers Without Training and Single Matching

Published in IEEE Access, 2022

This work proposes an iris recognition method that leverages features extracted from the low-level layers of pretrained convolutional neural networks, without requiring additional training on iris data. The approach incorporates a bit-shifting strategy to improve robustness against pupil dilation, a known challenge in iris biometrics. Single-matching evaluation on standard iris databases demonstrates competitive recognition performance with reduced computational cost.
