Ammarsaad42@yahoo.com ABSTRACT In this paper, we proposed a novel hybrid genetic algorithm with algorithms of hidden Markov Models that is forward-backward algorithm to recognize eye iris digital image. Here genetic algorithm used to find optimal values of the hidden Markov parameters λ = (A, B, π). This proposed algorithm showed high efficiency in recognizing this type of image compared with classical hidden Markov models algorithms. Keywords: Genetic algorithm, HMM, Pattern recognition, image 1. Introduction: Recognition is a problem that has received much media attention recently with the public's heightened awareness of public security. recognition is the identification of a person's identity based on an image of their eye. This is done by analyzing the various patterns that makeup the iris. These patterns are ideal for biometric identification because they are both hard to alter as well as exceptionally complex. It has been shown that iris patterns are stable from about one year of age until death, meaning that the patterns on the iris are relatively constant over a person's lifetime. Another important feature of the iris is the great variability over many eyes. Each iris is unique (even the left and right eyes are different) and similar to fingerprints - patterns are not shared between identical twins. The biometrical personal recognition techniques require the use of expert systems, genetic algorithm, neural networks, fuzzy logic systems and the development of sophisticated computing. These methods offer the main advantage over traditional ones to be 45 able to remember and learn. For a long time, the aim of international researchers and scientists has been to create machines and systems capable of imitating certain human abilities, among which the identification based on biometric recognition or the identification through the acquisition and subsequent processing of images [1 ] [2]. The main areas of interest of biometric technologies are: Direct authentication and verification of personal identity, proof of the identity stated by the individual; Indirect identification of a person through the available biometric characteristics [6] [8]. In this paper, we proposed a new type hybrid algorithm from HMM algorithms with GA to recognize iris image 2. Genetic Algorithms (GA) Genetic algorithms are searches and optimization tools inspired by evolutionary processes. Their strength lies in their ability to

Genetic algorithms search for this optimal solution until a specified termination criterion is met. The solution to a problem is called a chromosome.

2 evolve near-optimal solution to complex problems, sometimes involving multiple objectives without searching the entire available space. Genetic algorithms which are pioneered by John Holland 40 years ago combine selection, crossover, and mutation operators with the goal of finding the best solution to a problem. Genetic algorithms search for this optimal solution until a specified termination criterion is met. The solution to a problem is called a chromosome. A chromosome is made up of a collection of genes which are simply the parameters to be optimized. A genetic algorithm creates an initial population (a collection of chromosomes), evaluates this population, and then evolves the population through multiple generations in the search for a good solution for the problem at hand. To reach an acceptable solution, a population must run through several generations, at each generation three processes can occur to advance the population to the next generation, these are selective crossover (recombination) and mutation, genetic algorithms follow the process which can be seen in Figure (1) [4] [5]. Figure (1): Structure of a Simple Genetic Algorithm 3. Hidden Markov Model A discrete-time Hidden Markov Model A can be viewed as a Markov model whose states cannot be explicitly observed: Each state has an associated probability distribution function, modeling the probability of emitting symbols from that state. More formally, a HMM is defined by the following entities: S = {S 1, S 2,, S N } a finite set of hidden states; the transition matrix A = {aij, 1 < j < N} representing the probability of going from state Si to state Sj with [ aij 0 and =1; the emission parameters B = {b(o Sj)}, indicating the probability of emission of the symbol o when the system state is Sj. In this paper we employ continuous HMMs: b(o Sj) is represented by a Gaussian distribution, i.e. ( ) Where N (o, ) denotes a Gaussian density of mean and covariance, evaluated at o; = { i}, the initial state probability distribution, representing probabilities of initial states, i.e. i = P[q 1 = Sj] 1 < i < N (3) with i 0 and = 1. For convenience, we denote an HMM as a triplet = (A, B, ). 46

3 The training of the model, given a set of sequences {Oi}, is usually performed using the standard Baum- Welch re-estimation, which determines the parameters (A, B, ) that maximize the probability P({Oi}\ ). The classical HMM contains: the training procedure is stopped after the convergence of the likelihood. The evaluation step, i.e. the computation of the probability P(O\ ), given a model and a new observation sequence O, is performed using the forward-backward procedure [3] [7]. 4. Novel Hybrid Genetic Algorithm with HMM based recognition: In this section, we introduce a proposed hybrid genetic algorithm with hidden Markov models algorithm to recognize an iris digital image. GA used to estimate (training) the parameters of HMM instead Baum-Welch algorithm. The main steps of the proposed GA- HMM algorithm introduced in the following flow chart: Figure (2): Flow Chart for the Hybrid genetic and HMM Algorithm.

Step (4): Solve the evaluation problem using forward-backward algorithm: Here, we using forward backward algorithm to evaluate log p(o/ as a fitness function to genetic algorithm. 48

Else, go to step (4). 6. Experimental Results: A- Experimental Results on the First Image: First: Results the Proposed GA-HMM Algorithm: We applied the new (GA-HMM) algorithm on the image in figure (3) and we get: The value of log p(o/ at the final generation (18) as: ( O ) 8.326e 003 and the value of as: and A Table (2) explain the matrix at (18th) generation for the image in figure (3) Second: Results the Original HMM Algorithm: We applied the original HMM algorithm on the image in figure (3) and we get: The value of ( O ) at the final generation (37) as: ( O ) e 003 and the value of as: and A Table (3) explain the matrix at (37th ) iteration for the image in figure (3) B- Experimental Results on the second Image: We applied the new (GA-HMM) algorithm on the image in figure (4) and we get: The value of ( O ) at the final generation (15) as: ( O ) e 003 and the value of as: A Table (4) explain the matrix at (15th) generation for the image in figure (4)

6 Second: Results the Original HMM Algorithm: We applied the original HMM algorithm on the image in figure (4) and we get: The value of ( O ) at the final generation (34) as: ( O ) e 003 and the value of as: and A Table (5) explain the matrix at (34th ) iteration for the image in figure (4) Conclusion: We proposed a new hybrid algorithm that contain two algorithm genetic and HMM algorithms. Tables 2,3,4,5 showed that the proposed algorithm is effective compared with the original HMM algorithms (forwardbackward and Baum-Welch) algorithms because (1) Te fitness value of log p(o/ is bigger than the original HMM algorithm. (2) The number of iterations (generations) in the proposed algorithm is small compared with the number of iteration in the standard HMM algorithm. 7. References: [1] Ashbourn, J. (2000).
