Abstract
The quality of iris image is one of the key factors influences the performance of iris pattern recognition. Based on the existing quality assessment measures of iris image, and in consideration of the most prominent factors that lead recognition to fail, we firstly put forward iris rotation which is a new quality assessment measure. Then Iris Rotation, Iris Visibility, Iris Eccentricity and Iris Definition are together as quality assessment measures of iris image and the quality assessment of iris image is done by Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier. The experiment results express that the method we propose can select the images with good quality and has strong predictability for the performance of iris pattern recognition.
