虹膜区域选取与识别率对应关系分析

在人眼自然张开状态下,虹膜遭受睫毛、眼睑和反射光斑不同程度地干扰而失去了部分信息,因此需要找出虹膜保留面积与虹膜识别率之间的对应关系,从而根据小同的识别率要求估计不同的人眼最小张开程度.利用相关系数识别方法作为评测手段分别在不同的虹膜图库中进行了实验.结果证明,选取靠近瞳孔的虹膜内环区域与整个虹膜区域的比率在大于37.5%时,或者暴露的虹膜两侧扇形的角度大于70.时,就可以获得区分个体的特征量,达到比较稳定的识别率.实验结果还给出了虹膜内环区域而积与识别率的对应关系曲线以及虹膜两侧扇形区域面积与识别率之间的对应关系曲线.

基于单位扇环灰度的虹膜定位算法

提出了基于单位扇环灰度的虹膜定位算法。利用投影法分割出一个包含瞳孔的矩形区域,通过最大类间方差法确定该矩形区域的阈值,完成瞳孔的分割。对于虹膜外边界的定位,需要基于瞳孔中心分割出某一方向上的扇形区域,以5个像素作为扇形区域的步长,计算每个扇环的平均灰度值,根据灰度变化情况就可以确定该方向上的虹膜外边界点。其他方向上的边界点也通过此方法确定。对这些边界点进行筛选并进行圆的拟合,最终实现虹膜的定位。实验结果表明,采用该方法所分割的虹膜图像可以获得良好的效果,具有良好的应用和参考价值。     

一种新颖的虹膜轮廓提取方法

传统的虹膜定位方法是在人眼图像上把虹膜轮廓当作理想圆来提取.针对虹膜内边界不是理想圆,外边界边缘模糊等问题,提出一种新的虹膜轮廓提取方法.先利用极坐标变换将包含全部虹膜区域的某个范围展开成矩形形状,然后在此矩形区域上根据灰度的阶跃进行虹膜真实内边界的查找,最后在矩形区域上利用直线定位虹膜外边界代替在人眼图像上利用圆定位外边界.该方法不仅解决了内边界不是理想圆造成的瞳孔遗留或纹理损失问题,而且以点、线检测代替圆检测显著降低了虹膜定位时间.通过对CASIA-IrisV3虹膜图像库进行定位测试结果表明,该方法平均定位时间0.172 s,定位准确率99.35%.

The modelling of the influence of a corneal geometry on the pupil image of the human eye

In normal conditions, a pupil of the eye is observed through the optical system of the cornea. The cornea is the anterior surface of the eye and is the major refractive element of the human eye. The influence of the corneal shape should not be neglected in measurements of the pupil size. The purpose of this study was to estimate the influence of the corneal geometry, the diameter of the pupil and its position in the anterior chamber on the magnification and position of the image of the pupil. The numerical calculations presented in the paper assume infinitely thin cornea, and the corneal topography was approximated by the elongated ellipsoid. The ray tracing procedure was used in our numerical modelling. The magnification of the pupil image amounted to about 10% and increases with decrease of radius of curvature and eccentricity of the corneal profile and decreases for the largest pupil. The results show also that the pupil image is placed nearer the corneal apex than the real pupil. The image of the pupil is always blurred, which limits the sharp observation of the pupil.     

Localization of iris in gray scale images using intensity gradient

A new method of iris localization based on intensity value analysis is proposed in this paper. Iris recognition systems are mainly dependent on the performance of iris localization processing. Steps after localization involve normalization, feature extraction and matching. These steps are based on the accuracy and efficiency of localization of iris in human eye images. In the proposed scheme, the inner boundary of iris is calculated by finding the pupil center and radius using two methods. In the first method, selected region is adaptively binarized and centroid of the region utilized for obtaining pupil parameters. Edges are processed to detect radius and center of pupil during the second method. For outer iris boundary, a band is calculated within which iris outer boundary lies. Signals in one dimension are picked up along radial direction within determined band at different angles. Three points with maximum gradient are selected from each signal. Redundant points are deleted using Mahalanobis distance and remaining points are used to obtain the outer circle of the iris. Points for upper and lower eyelids are found in the same way as the iris outer boundary. Selected points are then statistically fitted to make parabolas and lastly eyelashes are removed from the image to completely localize the iris. Experimental results show that proposed method is very efficient and accurate.     

Design of a computer game using an eye-tracking device for eye's activity rehabilitation

An eye mouse interface that can be used to operate a computer using the movement of the eyes is described. We developed this eye-tracking system for eye motion disability rehabilitation. When the user watches the screen of a computer, a charge-coupled device will catch images of the user's eye and transmit it to the computer. A program, based on a new cross-line tracking and stabilizing algorithm, will locate the center point of the pupil in the images. The calibration factors and energy factors are designed for coordinate mapping and blink functions. After the system transfers the coordinates of pupil center in the images to the display coordinate, it will determine the point at which the user gazed on the display, then transfer that location to the game subroutine program. We used this eye-tracking system as a joystick to play a game with an application program in a multimedia environment. The experimental results verify the feasibility and validity of this eye-game system and the rehabilitation effects for the user's visual movement.     

The curvature measurement of the human eyeball

The curvature of the cornea in the ophthalmology field is essential data, especially for humans when they are being tested for wearing contact lenses, or for patients undergoing refractive surgery by either knife or laser. It is extremely difficult to measure the curvature of the eye precisely because the measurement of the cornea, using a contact tool, is not possible. In this paper, we propose a method to measure the curvature using lens aberration theory and an image processing technique. We project a circular grating, known as a Placido disc, on to the cornea. The reflective image does not have equal divisions and this distortion value contains the curvature information.     

Influence of intraocular pressure on geometrical properties of a linear model of the eyeball: Effect of optical self-adjustment

In general, visual acuity does not change with variations in intraocular pressure. Experiments in vitro as well as our clinical findings lead us to hypothesise that the eyeball could possess certain mechanical properties enabling it to automatically produce a sharp image on the retina despite variations in intraocular pressure. Previously reported simple biomechanical models of the eye did not confirm this hypothesis. Here, we propose a generalised mechanical model of the eyeball in which we include an appropriate limbus ring that mimics the ciliary body and the iris. The Finite Element Method is used to model the eyeball and to test its behaviour. A set of geometrical and material parameters has been determined for the model so that the postulated function of the eye is preserved. Numerical simulations have confirmed the hypothesis. The anatomically justified inclusion of the limbus ring in the proposed model of the eyeball makes it more realistic than those previously reported.     

Automatic localization of pupil using eccentricity and iris using gradient based method

This paper presents a novel approach for the automatic localization of pupil and iris. Pupil and iris are nearly circular regions, which are surrounded by sclera, eyelids and eyelashes. The localization of both pupil and iris is extremely important in any iris recognition system. In the proposed algorithm pupil is localized using Eccentricity based Bisection method which looks for the region that has the highest probability of having pupil. While iris localization is carried out in two steps. In the first step, iris image is directionally segmented and a noise free region (region of interest) is extracted. In the second step, angular lines in the region of interest are extracted and the edge points of iris outer boundary are found through the gradient of these lines. The proposed method is tested on CASIA ver 1.0 and MMU Iris databases. Experimental results show that this method is comparatively accurate.     

A new data processing and calibration method for an eye-tracking device pronunciation system

In this paper, a new data processing and calibration method for a pronunciation system of an eye-tracking device is described. The eye-tracking device was created using both head mounted display (HMD) technology and remote operation capabilities. A pattern recognition computer program was used to distinguish the pupil position and calculate its coordinates.This system can be adapted to provide a digital speech function. A new method for processing the image of the eye in the PC-based system was also developed. With one video CCD camera and frame grabber analyzing a series of human pupil images while the subject is gazing at the screen, an auto-calibration algorithm is used to obtain the direction of the eye gaze in real time. The computers provide the speech sound according to the location where the eye gazes exceed 0.5 s. The availability of multipurpose in this eye-tracking system with very simple equipment will be reconfirmed for future advanced research.
