Abstract—Biometric technologies are defined as the automated methods of identifying or authenticating the identity of a living person based on a physiological or behavioral characteristic. Among biometric technologies, iris recognition has received increasing attention due to its high reliability. Iris recognition is a biometric authentication technology that uses pattern recognition techniques based on iris characteristics. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm based on Iris biometric. The system acquires the biometric data in the data base CASIA version 1.0. The algorithm gives the accuracy of more than92. %. Also the time required for iris identification is less than one second.

Index Terms—Recognition, biometric, iris, hough transforms, gabor wavelets.
