Creating an Iris Image from a given Iris Template

Abstract

An Iris Detection System is known to be one of the strongest systems in terms of security. One of the main security aspects of this system relays on the incapability to reconstruct the original iris image from the iris template, i.e. that binary string able to provide the enough information to identify and/or authenticate a certain user. However, this paper proposes a method in order to carry out the solution for such a problem. The algorithm is based on evolutionary strategies, and intends to find an image whose iris template attends to be so similar as required to a given iris template. Results will highlight how this algorithm achieves the required aim, and how the performance can be as accurate as desired.
