Abstract

We develop an algorithm that automatically finds and extracts the iris information in an image containing a human eye. The purpose of this paper is to identify the colored information contained in the iris circular zone and to remove the insignificant information about pupil and external zone of the iris. We focus on image analysis and image enhancement by image filtering, edge detection and morphological operations like dilation and filling. Using a personal approach that automatically detects the center of a region, we find the center of the iris, respectively the center of the pupil
