Are Two Eyes Better than One? An Experimental Investigation on Dual Iris Recognition

Iris recognition using both eyes of an individual has not been extensively researched in the available literature. However, for iris recognition at a distance, capturing a good quality image of the same eye every time is a challenging task and a dual iris approach is potentially beneficial. In the present work, we investigate the advantages of using dual iris approach for iris recognition, comparing the performances of using both eyes with those obtained using only one eye.
