  2. Problem Statement To detect and segment an iris under single pose, single lighting condition as close to real-time as possible. The video can be of different subjects, different gazes and perhaps with different backgrounds.

  3. Approaches We will use two different approaches to this problem then provide a comparison between them. • Feature-based approach • Topographic approach

  4. The Feature-based Approach • Detect eye location • Segment eye using skin tone • Segment iris with histogram-based method and Hough Transform (of edge images)

  5. Preliminary Results (Feature-based) • Eye detection using Viola-Jones method (part of OpenCV) • Gaussian filter to remove spurious edges • Canny Edge Detection of eye region to remove most edge except those of eye-lids and iris • Hough Transform

  6. Next Steps (Feature-based) • Skin-tone segmentation prior to edge detection and Hough transform using Otsu thresholding. • Stabilize Hough transform results by incorporating temporal information (e.g. Kalman filter) • Expand iris detection method to account for iris shape deformation at different gaze angles.

  7. The Topographic Approach • Smooth the image using Gaussian filter • Consider the image as a 3D surface (gray intensity at (x,y) location as z) • At each (x,y) consider a squared neighborhood and fit a set of Chebyshev polynomials to retrieve the continuous function, from which the Hessian matrix can be obtained • Apply Eigenvalue decomposition and obtain the Eigenvalues, which are used to provide a terrain type for (x,y) • List all "pit" locations as eye candidates • For each pair of candidates, generate a rectangular patch around each candidate and use the terrain type labels as feature vector for SVM classification with Bhattacharyya kernel  • Based on the initial detection, search for the eye location in the subsequent frames using Mutual Information

  8. Advantages • No face tracker required • Detection and tracking on the topographic manifold – easier PDF estimation and faster MI calculation (12 types of topographic features vs. 256 gray levels) • Optimal match can almost always be found in “pit” pixels – more constrained search

  9. Expected Results (Topographic) <<<TBA>>>
