Bimodal Eye Imaging System

This paper describes a new bimodal approach for acquisition of human eye iris and eye retina. A short state of the art is described, followed by recent references oriented on iris and retinal characteristics. The brief description of our proposed bimodal system is also described with experimental results of scanned eye´s retina and iris. The main part is focused on enhanced optical setup for the iris/retina acquirement of a human eye. This unique combination in one particular apparatus can be used for medical (ophthalmology) as well as for biometric purposes. Scan in one cycle can significantly save the work time in comparison with separate scanning of each part separately.
