Abstract

Iris segmentation is the prerequisite for the precise iris recognition. Visible spectral iris images may result in lower segmentation accuracy due to noise interference. We use deep learning method to segment the iris region in visible spectral iris images. A deep convolution neural network is designed to extract the eye features and segment the iris, pupil, sclera and background. It’s an end-to-end model which requires no further processing. We collect the eye images and manually mask different part of the eye to establish the visible spectral iris dataset for training and testing. The proposed method was trained based on DeepLab framework. Experimental results show that the proposed method has efficiency on iris segmentation.
