Abstract: To meet the increasing security requirement of authorized users of flight simulators, personal identification is becoming more and more important. Iris recognition stands out as one of the most accurate biometric methods in use today. Iris recognition is done through different edge detection methods. Therefore, it is important to have an understanding of the different edge detection methods that are in use these days. Specifically, the biomedical research shows that irises are as different as fingerprints or the other patterns of the recognition. Furthermore, because the iris is a visible organism, its exterior look can be examined remotely using a machine vision system. The main part of this paper delves into concerns concerning the selection of the best results giving method of the recognition. In this paper, three edge detection methods, namely Canny, Sobel and Prewitt, are applied to the image of eye (iris) and their comparative analysis is discussed. These methods are applied using the Software MATLAB. The datasets used for this purpose are CASIA and MMU. The results indicate that the performance of Canny edge detection method is best as compared to Sobel and Prewitt. Image quality is a key requirement in image-based object recognition. This paper provides the quality evaluation of the images using different metrics like PSNR, SNR, MSE and SSIM. However, SSIM is considered best image quality metric as compared to PSNR, SNR and MSE.
