Abstract :
Segmentation is of vital importance in iris based identification. This paper presents a straightforward approach for segmenting the iris. The method determines an automated threshold for binarising and determining the pupil center, based on a histogram of gray scale image and after which the iris is segmented. To access the methods efficacy, this method is applied to a database of 756 images. After segmentation, 160-byte code is extracted from normalized image, which is used for identification
