Visible Wavelength Iris Segmentation: A Multi-Class Approach using Fully Convolutional Neuronal Networks

Zusammenfassung

Iris segmentation under visible wavelengths (VWs) is a vital processing step for iris recognition systems operating at-a-distance or in non-cooperative environments. In these scenarios the presence of various artefacts, e.g. occlusions or specular reflections, as well as out-of-focus blur represents a significant challenge. The vast majority of proposed iris segmentation algorithms under VW aim at discriminating the iris and non-iris regions without taking into account the variability that is present in the non-iris region. In this paper, we introduce the idea of segmenting the iris region using a multi-class approach which differentiates additional classes, e.g. pupil or sclera, as opposed to commonly employed bi-class approaches (iris and non-iris). Experimental results conducted on two publicly available databases show that the use of the proposed multi-class approach improves the iris segmentation accuracy. Simultaneously, it also allows for the segmentation of different non-iris regions, e.g. glasses, which could be employed in further application scenarios.
