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.

Iris segmentation plays an important role in iris recognition system. Most of segmentation methods are affected by reflection spots, eyelash and eyelid etc. The goal of this work is to accurately segment the iris using Probable boundary (Pb) edge detector after horizontal-vertical weighted reflections removal. Experimental results on the challenging iris image database CASIA-Iris-Thousand with reflection spots sample demonstrate that the iris segmentation accuracy of the proposed methods outperforms state-of-the-art 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.

The superior bit of 1 countries exploits biometric system for safety reason with the conclusion goal that in runway boarding, custom freedom, gathering passage, etc. The Iris detection at-a-Distance (IAAD) framework is generally used to identify the person in most of the applications. In this system, different features of iris image are extracted in addition enhances the superiority of iris image. Over the span of the most recent ages there consume raised various structures to design and finish iris affirmation systems which works at longer separation going from one meter to sixty meter.

For building a new iris template, this paper proposes a strategy to fuse different portions of iris based on machine learning method to evaluate local quality of iris. There are three novelties compared to previous work. Firstly, the normalized segmented iris is divided into multitracks and then each track is estimated individually to analyze the recognition accuracy rate (RAR). Secondly, six local quality evaluation parameters are adopted to analyze texture information of each track. Besides, particle swarm optimization (PSO) is employed to get the weights of these evaluation parameters and corresponding weighted coefficients of different tracks. Finally, all tracks’ information is fused according to the weights of different tracks. The experimental results based on subsets of three public and one private iris image databases demonstrate three contributions of this paper. (1) Our experimental results prove that partial iris image cannot completely replace the entire iris image for iris recognition system in several ways. (2) The proposed quality evaluation algorithm is a self-adaptive algorithm, and it can automatically optimize the parameters according to iris image samples’ own characteristics. (3) Our feature information fusion strategy can effectively improve the performance of iris recognition system.

Current iris recognition schemes such as IntegroDifferential method, Hough Transform, Watershed Transform Circle Fitting, and Circular Hough Transformation (CHT) are used to find circular parameters between pupil and iris. Segmentation process of an eye image using the circular parameters toextracts the iris region still can be further improved. In this paper, we introduced an optimization method of circular parameters detection for iris segmentation based on Black Hole Algorithm (BHA). The proposed segmentation algorithm utilizes a computational model of the pixels’ value to detect the iris boundary. The BHA searches for center radius of both pupil and iris. The system tests the CASIA Iris Interval V3 database by on MATLAB. The segmented images show an accuracy of 98.3%. In short, the segmentation-based on BHA is efficient to identify the iris for any future access control applications.

The quality of eye image data become degraded particularly when the image is taken in the non-cooperative acquisition environment such as under visible wavelength illumination. Consequently, this environmental condition may lead to noisy eye images, incorrect localization of limbic and pupillary boundaries and eventually degrade the performance of iris recognition system. Hence, this study has compared several segmentation methods to address the abovementioned issues. The results show that Circular Hough transform method is the best segmentation method with the best overall accuracy, error rate and decidability index that more tolerant to ‘noise’ such as reflection.
