The challenge of recognizing iris in visible spectrum images captured using smartphone stems from heavily degraded data (due to reflection, partial closure of eyes, pupil dilation due to light) where the iris texture is either not visible or visible to very low extent. In order to perform reliable verification, the set of extracted features should be robust and unique to obtain high similarity scores between different samples of same subject while obtaining high dissimilarity score between samples of different subjects. In this work, we propose multi-patch deep features using deep sparse filters to obtain robust features for reliable iris recognition. Further, we also propose to represent them in a collaborative subspace to perform classification via maximized likelihood, even under single sample enrolment. Through the set of extensive experiments on MICHE-I iris dataset, we demonstrate the robustness of newly proposed scheme which achieves high verification rate (GMR > 95%) with low Equal Error Rate (EER < 2%). Further, the robustness of proposed feature representation is reiterated by employing simple distance measures which has outperformed the state-of-art techniques. Additionally, the scheme is tested on the MICHE-II challenge evaluation dataset where the results are promising with GMR =100% on limited sub-corpus of iPhone data. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V.
