METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FACILITATING IMPROVED BIOMETRIC RECOGNITION USING IRIS SEGMENTATION

摘要

Various methods are provided for facilitating biometric recognition. One example method may comprise receiving an image, the image comprising a plurality of pixels, generating a binary mask image from the image, the binary mask image identifying a plurality of target pixels from among the plurality of pixels, determining a first subset of misclassified target pixels by estimating a first boundary region and identifying a portion of target pixels that are outside of the first boundary region, and determining a second subset of misclassified target pixels by estimating a second boundary region and identifying a portion of target pixels that are within the second boundary region.
