Retinal Fundus Biometric Analysis for Personal Identifications
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper a biometric system for personal identification, realized through the manipulation of retinal fundus images and the detection of its bifurcation points, is described. In the image pre-processing step, a strong contrast exaltation between blood vessels and the background in retinal image is carried out; then blood vessels are extracted and next the vasculature bifurcation and crossover points are identified within squared shaped regions used to window the image. Finally the features sets are compared with a pattern recognition algorithm and a novel formulation is introduced to evaluate a similarity score and to obtain the personal identification.

Biometric system is a pattern-recognition system that recognizes a person based on the personal physiological or behavioural characteristics that the person possesses. Human retina, one source of biometric provides the most reliable and with the emerging potentials of automated image processing a highly secure means of authentication is possible. The proposed system describes the development of...
متن کاملMorphological Exudate Detection in Retinal Images using PCA-based Optic Disc Removal
Diabetic retinopathy lesion detection such as exudate in fundus image of retina can lead to early diagnosis of the disease. Retinal image includes dark areas such as main blood vessels and retinal tissue and also bright areas such as optic disk, optical fibers and lesions e.g. exudate. In this paper, a multistage algorithm for the detection of exudate in foreground is proposed. The algorithm se...

Introduction: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the single largest cause of sight loss and blindness in the working age population of Western countries; it is the most common cause of blindness in adults between 20 and 60 years of age. Early diagnosis of DR is critical for preventing vision loss so early detection of microaneurysms (MAs) as the first signs of DR is important. This paper addresses th...

Biometric techniques are gaining importance for personal authentication and identification as compared to the traditional authentication methods. Biometric templates are vulnerable to variety of attacks due to their inherent nature. When a person’s biometric is compromised his identity is lost. In contrast to password, biometric is not revocable. Therefore, providing security to the stored biom...
