Iris localization by means of adaptive thresholding and Circular Hough Transform
Authors
Abstract:
In this paper, a new iris localization method for mobile devices is presented. Our system uses both intensity and saturation threshold on the captured eye images to determine iris boundary and sclera area, respectively. Estimated iris boundary pixels which have been placed outside the sclera will be removed. The remaining pixels are mainly the boundary of iris inside the sclera. Then, circular Hough transform is applied to such iris boundary pixels in order to localize the iris. Experiments were done on 60 iris images taken by a HTC mobile device from 10 different persons with both left and right eyes images available per person. Also, we evaluate the proposed algorithm on MICHE datasets include iphone5, Samsung Galaxy S4 and Samsung Galaxy Tab2. Experimental evaluation shows that the proposed system can successfully localize iris on tested images.

Circular Hough Transform for Iris localization
Th is article p resents a robust method for detecting iris features in frontal face images based on circular Hough transform. The software of the applicat ion is based on detecting the circles surrounding the exterio r iris pattern from a set of facial images in d ifferent color spaces. The circular Hough transform is used for this purpose. First an edge detection technique is used for finding ...

Automatic unloading of piled boxes of unknown dimensions is undoubtedly of great importance to the industry. In this contribution a system addressing this problem is described: a laser range finder mounted on the hand of an industrial robot is used for data acquisition. A vacuum gripper, mounted as well on the robot hand is employed from grasping the objects from their exposed surfaces. We loca...
full textIris localization through Hough clustering
Occlusion, reflections and iris shape deformations are the obstacles that stand in the way of a complete solution to iris localization problem. How to reject outliers caused by occlusion and reflections as much as possible before ellipse or spline fitting is a key challenge. For this reason, we proposed a Hough clustering method, which utilizes the shape configuration of iris edge points and th...
full textDetermination of Circular Arc Length and Midpoint by Hough Transform
We propose a method to detect circular arcs, including the determinations of their centers, radii, lengths, and midpoints. The center, radius of a circular arc can easily be determined using circular Hough transform. But, the determinations of the arc midpoint and length are more complicated. Theoretical analysis of the centroid of the near peak Hough transform data is presented. Then, the arc ...

Iris patterns have been proven to be unique for each individual making them useful in human identification. Segmentation and feature extraction are crucial steps in matching one iris image with another. In this paper, iris segmentation is performed using Canny edge detection and the circular Hough transform. To overcome the pupil-iris center offset as well as iris stretching due to pupil dilati...
full textIris Segmentation Using Improved Hough Transform
This paper presents an efficient iris segmentation algorithm. It uses an improved circular Hough transform to detect the inner boundary and the integro-differential operator to detect the outer boundary of iris from a given eye image. Search space of the standard circular Hough transform is reduced from three dimensions (center coordinates and radius) to only one dimension, which is the radius....
