AUTOMATIC LOCALIZATION OF THE CENTER OF IRIS

A coarse-to-fine approach was presented. which can locate automaticall y an important feature often used in face recognition, the centre of t he iris on human face. It combines such techniques as local binarizati on, Hough transform, pixels cluster and edge extraction. By this metho d, one could attain high localization accuracy whether the photo is ta ken under uniform or nonuniform light condition, whether the person we ars glasses or not. So it is suitable for processing identification ph otos.
