abstract

iris recognition is one of the most reliable methods for identification. in general, itconsists of image acquisition, iris segmentation, feature extraction and matching. among them, iris segmentation has an important role on the performance of any iris recognition system. eyes nonlinear movement, occlusion, and specular reflection are main challenges for any iris segmentation method. in this paper, we propose a new pupil localization method based on the sparse representation and sparse recovery (sr). the main advantage of our segmentation algorithm based on sparse representation in respect to other approaches is capability of searching the whole image for iris region very fast. also we have proposed a new method for enhancing the extracted iris template when the pupil boundary is noncircular, and also a new method for creating occlusion mask based on the histogram thresholding. we have compared the sr classifier and the hamming distance (hd) with the same size dictionary and shown that using the principal component analysis (pca) with the sr classifier makes it very faster, whereas preserves the accuracy. the achieved results are evaluated with others in terms of the recognition accuracy and the segmentation time consuming where the casia v4 lamp database used.

A new iris segmentation method for non-ideal iris images

Many researchers have studied iris recognition techniques in unconstrained environments, where the probability of acquiring non-ideal iris images is very high due to off-angles, noise, blurring and occlusion by eyelashes, eyelids, glasses, and hair. Although there have been many iris segmentation methods, most focus primarily on the accurate detection with iris images which are captured in a cl...

A New Dictionary Construction Method in Sparse Representation Techniques for Target Detection in Hyperspectral Imagery

Hyperspectral data in Remote Sensing which have been gathered with efficient spectral resolution (about 10 nanometer) contain a plethora of spectral bands (roughly 200 bands). Since precious information about the spectral features of target materials can be extracted from these data, they have been used exclusively in hyperspectral target detection. One of the problem associated with the detect...

Prostate Segmentation by Sparse Representation Based Classification

PURPOSE The segmentation of prostate in CT images is of essential importance to external beam radiotherapy, which is one of the major treatments for prostate cancer nowadays. During the radiotherapy, the prostate is radiated by high-energy x rays from different directions. In order to maximize the dose to the cancer and minimize the dose to the surrounding healthy tissues (e.g., bladder and rec...
