Abstract: - Security of lives and assets has become a very interesting issue worldwide. Ability to restrict access to unauthorized users via an identification system that cannot be compromised at a very fast rate is highly desirable because it can be very costly if not achievable. In this work, a new segmentation technique that is suitable for segmenting black people`s irises was developed. The system was simulated using irises of black people`s faces captured in Nigeria and iris images from Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Automation (CASIA [1]), a standard iris database. The False Acceptance Rate(FAR) and False Rejection Rate(FRR) of the two image databases were obtained with varying Hamming Distances of 0.26, 0.30, 0.35, 0.39 and 0.45 respectively.
