The growth of online services has resulted in a great need for tools to secure systems from would-be attackers without compromising the user experience. CAPTCHAs (Completely Automated Public Turing Tests to Tell Computers and Humans Apart) are one tool for this purpose, but their popular text-based form has been rendered insecure by improvements in character recognition technology. In this paper,...
The performance of iris recognition reduces when the images are captured at a distance. However, such images generally contain periocular region which can be utilized for person recognition. In this research, we propose a novel context switching algorithm that dynamically selects the best descriptor for color iris and periocular regions. Using predefined protocols, the performance of the proposed...
Human iris contains rich textural information which serves as the key information for biometric identifications. It is very unique and one of the most accurate biometric modalities. However, spoofing techniques can be used to obfuscate or impersonate identities and increase the risk of false acceptance or false rejection. This paper revisits iris recognition with spoofing attacks and analyzes their...
The presence of a contact lens, particularly a textured cosmetic lens, poses a challenge to iris recognition as it obfuscates the natural iris patterns. The main contribution of this paper is to present an in-depth analysis of the effect of contact lenses on iris recognition. Two databases, namely, the IIIT-D Iris Contact Lens database and the ND-Contact Lens database, are prepared to analyze the...
Over the years, iris recognition has gained importance in the biometrics applications and is being used in several large scale nationwide projects. Though iris patterns are unique, they may be affected by external factors such as illumination, camera-eye angle, and sensor interoperability. The presence of contact lens, particularly color cosmetic lens, may also pose a challenge to iris biometrics...
CAPTCHA is one of the Turing tests used to classify human users and automated scripts. Existing CAPTCHAs, especially text-based CAPTCHAs, are used in many applications, however they pose challenges due to language dependency and high attack rates. In this paper, we propose a face recognition-based CAPTCHA as a potential solution. To solve the CAPTCHA, users must correctly find one pair of human face...
We propose a quality-based fusion scheme for improving the recognition accuracy using color iris images characterized by three spectral channels - Red, Green and Blue. In the proposed method, quality scores are employed to select two channels of a color iris image which are fused at the image level using a Redundant Discrete Wavelet Transform (RDWT). The fused image is then used in a score-level fusion...
