INTRODUCTION In the recent years, drastic improvements have been accomplished in the areas like iris recognition, automated iris segmentation, edge detection, boundary detection etc. Iris recognition is a biometric recognition technology that utilizes the pattern recognition techniques based on the high quality images of iris. An iris recognition system mainly uses infrared or else the visible ...

Applications such as immigration control, aviation security, bank and other financial transactions, access to defence organization requires a more reliable and authentic identification system. Iris is now considered to be one of the most time invariable biometric features of a person for recognition. Several iris recognition techniques were proposed with considerable focus on improving the fals...

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the distribution iris colour and its relationship myopia. Methods: A multi-centered, multi-disciplined, cross-sessional conducted From March 2021 December 2021. 300 individuals ranging in age from 11 25 years were selected through non-probability purposive sampling technique. All patients had a maximum 6 hours screen time. Mild, moderate sever...

BACKGROUND Light exposure in the late evening and nighttime and a delay of the sleep/dark episode can phase delay the circadian clock. This study assessed the size of the phase delay produced by a single light pulse combined with a moderate delay of the sleep/dark episode for one day. Because iris color or race has been reported to influence light-induced melatonin suppression, and we have rece...

PURPOSE To study melanogenesis by cultured human uveal melanocytes, and the relationship between melanin production by uveal melanocytes in vitro with the degree of iris pigmentation in vivo. METHODS Melanin content, melanin production, and tyrosinase activity of cultured uveal melanocytes derived from eyes of various iris color were measured at different stages of cultivation. RESULTS Cult...

PURPOSE The presence of two or more Lisch nodules (melanocytic hamartomas of the iris) is one of seven diagnostic criteria for neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), a common monogenic disorder of dysregulated neurocutaneous growth. The hypothesis that Lisch nodules arise secondary to exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight was investigated. METHODS Lisch nodule burden was mapped and qu...

Databases play an important role in cyber world. It provides authenticity across the globe to the legitimate user. Biometrics is another important tool which recognizes humans using their physical statistics. Biometrics system requires speedy recognition that provides instant and accurate results. Biometric industry is looking for a new algorithm that interacts with biometric system reduces its...

PURPOSE To examine the postnatal development of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II-positive dendritic cells (DC) in the iris of the normal rat eye. METHODS Single- and double-color immunomorphologic studies were performed on whole mounts prepared from rat iris taken at selected postnatal ages (2 to 3 days to 78 weeks). Immunopositive cells were enumerated, using a quantitative li...
