Abstract
In this paper a binary biometric comparator based on Counting Bloom filters is introduced. Within the proposed scheme binary biometric feature vectors are analyzed and appropriate bit sequences are mapped to Counting Bloom filters. The comparison of resulting sets of Counting Bloom filters significantly improves the biometric performance of the underlying system. The proposed approach is applied to binary iris-biometric feature vectors, i.e. iris-codes, generated from different feature extractors. Experimental evaluations, which carried out on the CASIA-v3-Interval iris database, confirm the soundness of the presented comparator.
