Improving Iris Recognition through New Target Vectors in MLP Artificial Neural Networks
This paper compares the performance of multilayer perceptron (MLP) networks trained with conventional bipolar target vectors (CBVs) and orthogonal bipolar new target vectors (OBVs) for biometric pattern recognition. The experimental analysis consisted of using biometric patterns from CASIA Iris Image Database developed by Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Automation. The experiments were performed in order to obtain the best recognition rates, leading to the comparison of results from both conventional and new target vectors. The experimental results have shown that MLPs trained with OBVs can better recognize the patterns of iris images than MLPs trained with CBVs.
