Abstract

The performance of iris recognition systems is significantly affected by the segmentation accuracy, especially in non-ideal iris images. This paper proposes a fast and accurate method to segment the pupil regardless of the shape using a combination of morphological operations and snake active contour. The morphological operations are used to determine a rough boundary of the pupil region while the active contour is used to find the precise boundary. The proposed scheme is robust in finding the exact pupil boundary of non-ideal iris image. Experimental results on the CASIA version 4.0 iris databases have indicated a high level of accuracy using the proposed technique.
