An Experimental Study of Ensemble Systems on Cancellable Iris

This paper presents an analysis of applying ensemble systems in revocable biometric recognition. Biometric-based systems are the eminent future of the identification techniques and users access control. However, there is still much progress to be done in this field, specially related to systems security. One alternative to the security problem in biometric data is a technique known as cancellable biometrics. This technique consists of applying a transformation on the biometric data in order to protect the original characteristics. This work aims to investigate the use of ensembles systems in the recognition of cancellable biometrics in Iris data. The main goal is to analyse the advantages that the use of cancellable transformation functions may bring to biometric identification systems.
