K. Lashmi Priya, D. Christopher Durairaj . Integration of Morphological Segmentation and Canny Edge Detection for Iris Recognition. International Journal of Computer Applications. 80, 2 ( October 2013), 26-31. DOI=10.5120/13834-0811
A new approach to iris recognition system is proposed in this paper. The iris images are captured using digital camera. The edges of the eye image are traced using canny edge detection. Segmentation is done to find the inner and outer edge of the iris region. Segmentation is done by selecting appropriate threshold approximately in the range 60 to 80 and applying Extended Minima transform. Binary code representation via phase of Daubechies wavelet is computed from each iris image and a minimum Euclidean distance classifier is applied for matching process. This approach is proved to be efficient and has less error rate for iris images captured using digital camera.
