  Abstract

There are three texture descriptors in MPEG-7 : Homogeneous Texture, Edge Histogram and Texture Browsing. In this paper, a comparative analysis is presented on the capability of MPEG-7 texture descriptors for iris recognition as part of an MPEG-7 application using descriptors. Through the experiments of comparing the clustering efficiency and error distribution of the descriptors using 560 iris images, their discriminating capabilities for different iris groups are analyzed. The results show that Homogenous Texture descriptor is the best discriminator among three descriptors to recognize the iris pattern. However, compared with the conventional iris recognition methods, it needs more efforts to enhance the results.
