Abstract
The ubiquitous use of smartphones has spurred the research in mobile iris devices. Due to their convenience, these mobile devices are also utilized in unconstrained outdoor conditions. This scenario has necessitated the development of reliable iris recognition algorithms for such an uncontrolled environment. Additionally, iris presentation attacks such as textured contact lens pose a major challenge to current iris recognition systems. Motivated by these, this paper presents two key contributions. First, a new Unconstrained Multi-sensor Iris Presentation Attack (UnMIPA) database is created. It consists of more than 18,000 iris images of subjects wearing textured contact lens and without wearing contact lenses captured in both indoor and outdoor environment using multiple iris sensors. The second contribution of this paper is a novel algorithm, DensePAD, which utilizes DenseNet based convolutional neural network architecture for iris presentation attack detection. In-depth experimental evaluation of this algorithm reveals its superior performance in detecting iris presentation attack images on multiple databases. The performance of the proposed DensePAD algorithm is also evaluated in real-world scenarios of open-set iris presentation attacks which highlights the challenging nature of detecting iris presentation attack images from unseen distributions. © 2019 IEEE.
