In order to improve the performance of bovine iris image segmentation, an improved iris image segmentation algorithm is proposed according to the characteristics of bovine iris image. Firstly, based on mathematical morphology and noise suppression template, the inner and outer edges of bovine iris are detected by dynamic contour tracking and least squares fitting ellipse respectively. Then, the annular iris region is normalized. Finally, the normalized iris image is enhanced with adaptive image enhancement method. The experimental results show that the algorithm can effectively segment iris region, it has good performance of speed and accuracy for iris segmentation, and can eliminate the effects of uneven illumination, iris shrinkage and rotation, it promotes iris feature extraction and matching, which has certain reference significance for iris recognition research and meat food safety management of large livestock.

Iris Feature Extraction

Recognition of the Iris is among the finest techniques in the field of bio-metrics identification, because the iris has characteristics that are unique and stay the same all through the individual’s life. Iris recognition phases are namely image acquisition, segmentation of iris, localization of iris, feature extraction of iris and matching. This paper, which is an extension of the survey paper Smaran et.al[1], concentrates purely on the procedures of image capture, segmentation as well as localization of the iris. The aim of the paper is to optimize the above mentioned processes in terms of distance of capturing the image, time taken for memory and computation requirements, using the DRP (Dynamic Re-Configurable Processor) technology, uniquely developed by Renesas Electronics (www.renesas.com).

Key Steps

One of the key steps in the iris recognition system is the accurate iris segmentation from its surrounding noises including pupil, sclera, eyelashes, and eyebrows of a captured eye-image. This paper presents a novel iris segmentation scheme which utilizes the orientation matching transform to outline the outer and inner iris boundaries initially. It then employs Delogne-Kåsa circle fitting (instead of the traditional Hough transform) to further eliminate the outlier points to extract a more precise iris area from an eye-image. In the extracted iris region, the proposed scheme further utilizes the differences in the intensity and positional characteristics of the iris, eyelid, and eyelashes to detect and delete these noises. The scheme is then applied on iris image database, UBIRIS.v1. The experimental results show that the presented scheme provides a more effective and efficient iris segmentation than other conventional methods.

Key Steps

ris location is one of the key steps of iris recognition system. Non-ideal iris image has some problems, such as eyelid and eyelash occlusion, low contrast of iris and sclera, uneven illumination, and so on. Because of that, its difficult to identify the boundary, especially the exterior boundary. Therefore, this paper proposes a method based on the improved Hough Transform. First, use the minimum method to find the datum point in the pupil, after that identify the valid area of the interior boundary base on that point. Apply the improved Hough Transform to that valid area to identify the interior boundary of the iris image. Then regard the center of the interior circle as our new datum point, use the same method to identify the exterior boundary. Experiment results show that our algorithm has higher accuracy than traditional method on the non-ideal iris image segmentation.

Pros And Cons

The first and critical step in the process of an iris recognition system is iris segmentation. Firstly, we detailedly describe the process of pupil and iris localization based on Chan-Vese model. Secondly, we describe the process of unwrapping iris annule region, and obtain rectangular image with the same width but different height. Thirdly, cut rectangular iris image to get normalized image. Fourthly, Multi-channel 2D Gabor, 1-D wavelets and zero-crossing methods were used to extract feature; consequently, decidability indexes of intra-class and inter-class were obtained. Finally, comparatively analyze the pros and cons of the proposed method. Three public iris images databases were taken as experimental samples, the experimental results on these image samples demonstrate that the proposed algorithm has certain advantage.

Pupil Localization

Iris segmentation in the iris recognition systems is a challenging task under noncooperative environments. The iris segmentation is a process of detecting the pupil, iris’s outer boundary, and eyelids in the iris image. In this paper, we propose a pupil localization method for locating the pupils in the non-close-up and frontal-view iris images that are captured under near-infrared (NIR) illuminations and contain the noise, such as specular and lighting reflection spots, eyeglasses, nonuniform illumination, low contrast, and occlusions by the eyelids, eyelashes, and eyebrow hair. In the proposed method, first, a novel edge-map is created from the iris image, which is based on combining the conventional thresholding and edge detection based segmentation techniques, and then, the general circular Hough transform (CHT) is used to find the pupil circle parameters in the edge-map. Our main contribution in this research is a novel edge-map creation technique, which reduces the false edges drastically in the edge-map of the iris image and makes the pupil localization in the noisy NIR images more accurate, fast, robust, and simple. The proposed method was tested with three iris databases: CASIA-Iris-Thousand (version 4.0), CASIA-Iris-Lamp (version 3.0), and MMU (version 2.0). The average accuracy of the proposed method is 99.72% and average time cost per image is 0.727 sec.

Segmentation Approach

In this article the new hybrid iris image segmentation method based on convolutional neural networks and mathematical methods is proposed. Iris boundaries are found using modified Daugman’s method. Two UNet-based convolutional neural networks are used for iris mask detection. The first one is used to predict the preliminary iris mask including the areas of the pupil, eyelids and some eyelashes. The second neural network is applied to the enlarged image to specify thin ends of eyelashes. Then the principal curvatures method is used to combine the predicted by neural networks masks and to detect eyelashes correctly. The pro- posed segmentation algorithm is tested using images from CASIA IrisV4 Interval database. The results of the proposed method are evaluated by the Intersection over Union, Recall and Precision metrics. The average metrics values are 0.922, 0.957 and 0.962, respectively. The proposed hy- brid iris image segmentation approach demonstrates an improvement in comparison with the methods that use only neural networks.
