[email protected] A Generic Computer Platform For Efficient Iris Recognition Christopher John Ponder BEng (Hons) A thesis submitted to the Universities of Edinburgh, Glasgow, Heriot-Watt, and Strathclyde For the Degree of Doctor of Engineering in System Level Integration © Christopher John Ponder 2014 To Rachel, Alex and Ben Abstract This document presents the work carried out for the purposes of completing the Engineering Doctorate (EngD) program at the Institute for System Level Integration (iSLI), which was a partnership between the universities of Edinburgh, Glasgow, Heriot- Watt and Strathclyde. The EngD is normally undertaken with an industrial sponsor, but due to a set of unforeseen circumstances this was not the case for this work. However, the work was still undertaken to the same standards as would be expected by an industrial sponsor. An individual’s biometrics include fingerprints, palm-prints, retinal, iris and speech patterns.
