Comparison of iris recognition algorithms

In this paper, we have studied various well known algorithms for iris recognition. Four algorithms due to Sanchez-Avila et al. (2001), Li Ma et al. (2002), Tisse et al. (2002) and Daugman (2001) are implemented and compared on the CASIA iris image database. The results show that the Daugman's algorithm gave the highest accuracy of 99.9%.
