Abstract: this research is considered to be a research to attract attention to the 3D iris compression to store the database of the iris. Actually, the 3D iris database cannot be found and in trying to solve this problem 2D iris database images are converted to 3D images just to implement the compression techniques used in 3D domain to test it and give an approximation results or to focus on this new direction in research. In this research a fully automated 3D iris compression and recognition system is presented. We use spherical based wavelet coefficients for efficient representation of the 3D iris. The spherical wavelet transformation is used to decompose the iris image into multi-resolution sub images. The representation of features based on spherical wavelet parameterization of the iris image was proposed for the 3D iris compression system. To evaluate the performance of the proposed approach, experiments were performed on the CASIA Iris database. Experimental results show that the spherical wavelet coefficients yield excellent compression capabilities with minimal set of features. Haar wavelet coefficients extracted from the iris image was found to generate good recognition results.
