In modern society, mobile devices (such as smart phones and wearable devices) have become indispensable to almost everyone, and people store personal data in devices. Therefore, how to implement user authentication mechanism for private data protection on mobile devices is a very important issue. In this paper, an intelligent iris recognition mechanism is designed to solve the problem of user authentication in wearable smart glasses. Our contributions include hardware and software. On the hardware side, we design a set of internal infrared camera modules, including well-designed infrared light source and lens module, which is able to take clear iris images within 2~5 cm. On the software side, we propose an innovative iris segmentation algorithm which is both efficient and accurate to be used on smart glasses device. Another improvement to the traditional iris recognition is that we propose an intelligent Hamming distance (HD) threshold adaptation method which dynamically fine-tunes the HD threshold used for verification according to empirical data collected. Our final system can perform iris recognition with 66 frames per second on a smart glasses platform with 100% accuracy. As far as we know, this system is the world’s first application of iris recognition on smart glasses.

Iris is a unique biometric tool, secure and reliable in recognizing an individual based on the texture information of human physiology. The Local Binary Pattern method uses descriptors based on histograms of Local Binary Pattern. In developed algorithm, Local Binary Pattern (LBP) histograms of iris images are extracted and concatenated into single enhanced histogram. It can be computed by nearest neighbor classifier and iris recognition is performed using Hamming distance as dissimilarity measure. We have conducted experimentation on CASIA dataset. From the experimental results, it is proved that the Robust LBP technique for iris recognition is more accurate than the conventional LBP.
