Detection of Iris in Image by Brightness Gradient Projections

Abstract

A method is proposed to detect a human iris location and size in digital image given some point lying inside the pupil. Method is based on construction of histogram projections of local brightness gradients and interrelating local maxima of these histograms as probable positions of pupil and iris borders. Method has low calculation cost.
