Popis: The unique patterns of complex texture that are visible in iris images captured under near-infrared illumination are highly stable and can be used for high confidence biometric recognition. Similar patterns are visible in lighter colored irises under visible light. This paper presents an analysis of a database of iris images captured using multispectral illumination, from 405 nm to 1070 nm in wavelength. The analysis is based on matching performance using a Daugman-based commercial implementation of the iris recognition algorithm. We find that illumination wavelength has a very significant effect on iris recognition performance. (5 pages)
