An Improved Iris Localization Algorithm Based on Curve Fitting

Article Preview

Abstract:

Iris localization is to detect outer-and-inner boundaries of iris in an iris image. In the paper, an improved algorithm was proposed to quickly and effectively locate outer-and-inner boundaries. As for this algorithm, the first is to block an iris image and extract its sub-image blocks which cover pupil; the second is to set a binary threshold of pupil by adopting the method of Maximum Variance between Clusters; the third is to get the value outer-boundary-points of iris, on the basis of gray gradient of key Regions-of-interest; the last is to select some characteristic pixels in regions of interest respectively and fit outer-and-inner boundaries of iris according to curve fitting.
