Abstract: In this study, a new method for merging information from multiple iris images in a single image by using the effect of variance between each pixel and its 8-neighboring pixels and selecting starting maximum point in the first fused output image and minimum point in the second fused output image then constructing other pixels by selecting pixels from one of original images that make the variance with starting points in smallest state, the fused image become more informative than each of the original image and reflex more important features the fusion operation can be done among the same iris with different images to enhance the original images or can be done between left and right irises of the same person to produce more informative image that can be used in matching process of any iris in identification or verification systems. The proposed system replace left and right irises for the same person with suitable rectangle image that reflect combined features of the original images.
