Iris Presentation Attack Detection: Where Are We Now?
This is an incremental survey paper that addresses security concerns for iris recognition systems by summarizing recent research developments.
This paper provides an overview of recent advances in iris presentation attack detection, highlighting newly released datasets and categorizing methods into traditional, deep learning, and hybrid approaches, while noting the ongoing difficulty of the task.
As the popularity of iris recognition systems increases, the importance of effective security measures against presentation attacks becomes paramount. This work presents an overview of the most important advances in the area of iris presentation attack detection published in recent two years. Newly-released, publicly-available datasets for development and evaluation of iris presentation attack detection are discussed. Recent literature can be seen to be broken into three categories: traditional "hand-crafted" feature extraction and classification, deep learning-based solutions, and hybrid approaches fusing both methodologies. Conclusions of modern approaches underscore the difficulty of this task. Finally, commentary on possible directions for future research is provided.
