Iris Image Processing in Compressive Sensing Scenario

Abstract

This paper observes the application of the Compressive Sensing in reconstruction of the under-sampled iris images. Iris recognition represents form of biometric identification whose usage in real applications is growing. Compressive Sensing represents a novel form of sparse signal acquisition and recovering when small amount of data is a available. Different sparsity domains are considered and compared using various number of available image pixels. The theory is verified on iris images.
