description | The use of eye movement as a biometric is a new biometric technology that is now in competition with many other technologies such as the fingerprint, face recognition, ear recognition and many others. Problems encountered with these authentication methods such as passwords and tokens have led to the emergence of biometric authentication techniques. Biometric authentication involves the use of physical or behavioral characteristics to identify people. In biometric authentication, feature extraction is a very vital stage, although some of the extracted features that are not very useful may lead to the degradation of the biometric system performance. Object selection using eye movement as a technique for biometric authentication was proposed for this study. To achieve this, an experiment for collecting eye movement data for biometric purposes was conducted. Eye movement data were measured from twenty participants during choosing and finding of still objects. The eye-tracking equipment used was able to measure eye-movement data. The model proposed in this paper aimed to create a template from these observations that tried to assign a unique binary signature for each enrolled user. Error correction is used in authenticating a user who submits an eye movement sample for enrollment. The XORed Biometric template is further secured by multiplication with an identity matrix of size (n × n). These results show positive feedback on this model as individuals can be uniquely identified by their eye movement features. The use of hamming distance as additional verification helper increased model performance significantly. The proposed scheme has a 37% FRR and a 27% FAR based on the 400 trials, which are very promising results for future improvements. |
