Iris color evaluation through multispectral systems

In this work a study of multispectral tools in color measurement of irises, prostheses and cosmetic colored contact lenses is performed. With the statistical analysis of CIELa*b* values, the CIEDE2000 color differences and color gamuts, the samples are classified in three major groups: brown, blue and green. In the same way, the irises color reproduction made by prostheses and contact lenses is analyzed. The results show that brown irises are predominant into the set of samples utilized and the irises color reproduction in prostheses is closer than in contact lenses. Besides, we set out as perspective, to include the analysis of not only mean colorimetric values, but also the analysis of color spatial distribution.
