Abstract
An apparatus for recognizing an iris includes: a camera configured to acquire eyeball image data; and a control module configured to estimate the iris based on pupil information extracted from the eyeball image data, acquire at least one candidate boundary line for confirming the iris based on the estimated iris, and select a final boundary line from the at least one candidate boundary line. The iris is recognizable according to the final boundary line.
Claims11
An apparatus for recognizing an iris, comprising:
- a camera configured to acquire eyeball image data;
- and
- a control module configured to estimate the iris based on pupil information extracted from the eyeball image data, acquire at least one candidate boundary line for confirming the iris based on the estimated iris, and select a final boundary line from the at least one candidate boundary line,
- wherein the iris is recognizable according to the final boundary line.
A method for recognizing an iris, comprising:
- acquiring eyeball image data;
- extracting pupil information from the eyeball image data;
- estimating the iris based on the pupil information;
- acquiring at least one candidate boundary line for confirming the iris based on the estimated iris;
- selecting a final boundary line from the at least one candidate boundary line;
- and
- recognizing the iris according to the final boundary line.
A non-transitory computer readable medium containing program instructions recognizing an iris, the computer readable medium comprising:
- program instructions that extract pupil information from acquired eyeball image data;
- program instructions that estimate the iris based on the pupil information;
- program instructions that acquire at least one candidate boundary line for confirming the iris based on the estimated iris;
- program instructions that select a final boundary line from the at least one candidate boundary line;
- and
- program instructions that recognize the iris according to the final boundary line.
