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.
