The proposed framework consists of best frame selection algorithm, modified diamond search algorithm, Gaussian process regression (GPR) based and enhanced iterated back projection (EIBP)-based super-resolution approach, fuzzy entropy-based feature selector and neural network (NN) classifier. The framework uses linear kernel co-variance function in local patch-based GPR and EIBP algorithms and it super resolves the iris images depending on the contents of the patches, without an external dataset. NN classifier classifies the iris images by using features extracted using discrete cosine transform domain based no-reference image quality assessment model, Gray level co-occurrence matrix, Hu seven moments and statistical features. The framework is tested using CASIA long range iris database by comparing and analysing the peak signal-to-noise ratio, structural similarity index matrix and visual information fidelity in pixel domain of proposed algorithms with Yang and Nguyen framework. The results demonstrate that the proposed framework is well suited for recognition of iris images captured at a long distance.}, title = {Super resolution and recognition of long range captured multi-frame iris images}, journal = {IET Biometrics}, issue = {5}, volume = {6}, year = {2017}, month = {September}, pages = {360-368(8)}, publisher ={Institution of Engineering and Technology}, copyright = {© The Institution of Engineering and Technology}, url = {https://digital-library.theiet.org/;jsessionid=35fibuorgg0l2.x-iet-live-01content/journals/10.1049/iet-bmt.2016.0075} }
