Abstract

The recent proposed Indexing-First-One (IFO) hashing is a latest technique that is particularly adopted for eye iris template protection, i.e. IrisCode. However, IFO employs the measure of Jaccard Similarity (JS) initiated from Min-hashing has yet been adequately discussed. In this paper, we explore the nature of JS in binary domain and further propose a mathematical formulation to generalize the usage of JS, which is subsequently verified by using CASIA v3-Interval iris database. Our study reveals that JS applied in IFO hashing is a generalized version in measure two input objects with respect to Min-Hashing where the coefficient of JS is equal to one. With this understanding, IFO hashing can propagate the useful properties of Min-hashing, i.e. similarity preservation, thus favorable for similarity searching or recognition in binary space.
