The invention discloses a lightweight
iris recognition system for a mobile terminal. The
system comprises a preprocessing module for performing
smoothing processing, lens detection and white hole filling on an
iris image captured by an
infrared camera; an iris positioning module used for carrying out coarse positioning and accurate positioning on the
iris image, obtaining a circle center and a
radius of a
pupil through coarse positioning, obtaining inner and outer boundary points of an iris through accurate positioning, realizing iris region normalization through fitting a circle by the boundary points, and recording the position of
noise by adopting a
mask; a coding module used for coding the
iris image, carrying out
feature extraction on the normalized iris area by adopting a
Gabor filter to obtain a feature map, and selecting a point at a specified position in the feature map for coding; a registration and recognition module used for registering the iris image, binding iris codes, masks and registrant information and storing the iris codes, the masks and the registrant information in a
database, and used for recognizing the iris image. The
system solves the problems of low irisrecognition precision and large
resource consumption of the mobile terminal.
