Abstract

Iris image segmentation process based on graphical user interface (GUI) to accurately localize the iris structure is presented in this paper. The major challenge confronting the precision of an iris recognition model is how to determine the accuracy of the iris segmentation and localization. There are varying parameters that introduce constraints during feature extraction and these greatly affect the matching performance during iris localization. To this end, the Integro-differential operator, which involves the detection of inner and outer regions of the iris, and the circular hough transform, which is capable of detecting the circular boundary from the edge mapping were investigated, and an active contour model was evolved. In the evolved model, an emerging curve mapped with the zeros of the data set function is experimentally exploited. To demonstrate the suitability of the model for precise iris recognition, its parameters were compared against other related models. Simulation results show that the model has higher flexibility of substitution of images, and the images could be analyzed more accurately with less false rejections (FR) and false acceptance (FA) in comparison with the integro-differential operator. This implies that images could be analyzed faster using the evolved model, and easily substituted especially in situations where the need to care for numerous eye patients occur.
