Experimental verifications of noise suppression in retinal recognition by using compression-based joint transform correlator

Noise suppression in retinal recognition by using a compression-based joint transform correlator (CBJTC) is experimentally studied. The experimental results show that the noise suppression can be done by compressing targets into a joint-photographic expert group (JPEG) format with appropriate image compression quality. In the case of the weak noise suppression, the improved recognition performance is as high as that of the classical JTC.
