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.

Nowadays, recognition patterns play an important role in several applications, in which the iris recognition is widely developed in authentication systems today. For such systems models, it is necessary to use as input high quality images, which will reduce possible recognition errors. Thus, this article develops experimental tests to study the image quality on the performance of the iris recognition, using different quality metrics. Thus, experiments are conducted with different iris images and applying the Hamming distance algorithm as reference measurement to accept or denied an user authentication. To this end the OSIRIS platform was used in the tests, because it permits to calculate the Hamming Distance between two binary codes. Based on the results obtained in the tests using different metrics, can be inferred that the image quality has a considerable impact on the performance of an iris recognition system. Therefore, the image capture process is an important step.

Penelitian ini mengajukan sebuah sistem pengenalan manusia melalui karakteristik pola fisiologis selaput pelangi (iris) matanya. Pengenalan selaput pelangi mata (iris recognition) merupakan suatu teknologi pengolahan citra yang digunakan untuk mendeteksi dan menampilkan selaput pelangi (iris) pada alat indera mata manusia saat kelopak mata terbuka. Terdapat beberapa tahap dalam proses pengenalan menggunakan pola iris mata manusia. Langkah pertama adalah melakukan proses segmentasi untuk mendapatkan daerah selaput pelangi (iris) mata yang berbentuk melingkat dengan menggunakan metode operator integro-diferensial. Selanjutnya dilakukan proses normalisasi hasil segmentasi menjadi bentuk polar dengan menerapkan metode metode Daughman’s rubber sheet model. Setelah itu diterapkan proses ekstraksi fitur atau pola dari citra ternormalisasi menggunakan filter Log-Gabor. Pencocokan untuk mengukur kesamaan antara pola iris mata manusia dengan pola-pola dalam basisdata sistem dilakukan menggunakan Hamming distance. Dalam percobaan pengenalan individu menggunakan basisdata iris mata MMU diperoleh akurasi sebesar 98%. Kata Kunci: Pengenalan selaput pelangi, Pengenalan iris mata, Filter log-Gabor, Segmentasi citra, Sistem biometrik

The most accurate remote Point of Gaze (PoG) estimation methods that allow free head movements use infrared light sources and cameras together with gaze estimation models. Current gaze estimation models were developed for desktop eye-tracking systems and assume that the relative roll between the system and the subjects’ eyes (the ’R-Roll’) is roughly constant during use. This assumption is not true for hand-held mobile-device-based eye-tracking systems. We present an analysis that shows the accuracy of estimating the PoG on screens of hand-held mobile devices depends on the magnitude of the R-Roll angle and the angular offset between the visual and optical axes of the individual viewer. We also describe a new method to determine the PoG which compensates for the effects of R-Roll on the accuracy of the POG. Experimental results on a prototype infrared smartphone show that for an R-Roll angle of 90 ° , the new method achieves accuracy of approximately 1 ° , while a gaze estimation method that assumes that the R-Roll angle remains constant achieves an accuracy of 3.5 ° . The manner in which the experimental PoG estimation errors increase with the increase in the R-Roll angle was consistent with the analysis. The method presented in this paper can improve significantly the performance of eye-tracking systems on hand-held mobile-devices.

Mobile devices have become essential to modern society; however, as their popularity has grown, so has the requirement to ensure devices remain secure. This paper proposes a behaviour-based profiling technique using a mobile user’s application usage to detect abnormal activities. Through operating transparently to the user, the approach offers significant advantages over traditional point-of-entry authentication and can provide continuous protection. The experiment employed the MIT Reality dataset and a total of 45,529 log entries. Four experiments were devised based on an application-level dataset containing the general application; two application-specific datasets combined with telephony and text message data; and a combined dataset that included both application-level and application-specific. Based on the experiments, a user’s profile was built using either static or dynamic profiles and the best experimental results for the application-level applications, telephone, text message, and multi-instance applications were an EER (Equal Error Rate) of 13.5%, 5.4%, 2.2%, and 10%, respectively.

Iris recognition system is broadly being utilized as it has distinctive patterns that gives it a powerful strategy to distinguish between persons for identification purposes. However, this system in this implementation requires large memory capacity and high computation time. These factors make us in a challenge to find a way to run this algorithm in a hardware platform. The hardware implementation features reduce the execution time by exploiting the parallelism and pipeline. The present work addresses this issue when reducing execution time by implementing the matching step using hamming distance algorithm on the target device FPGA KINTEX 7 using Xilinx system generator. The obtained result demonstrates that the execution time has been accelerated to 1.32 ns, which is almost at least four times faster than existing works
