A Literature Review on Iris Segmentation Techniques for Iris Recognition Systems

A biometric system offers automatic identification of a human being based on the unique feature or characteristic which is being possessed by the individual. The iris segmentation has its own major applications in the field of surveillance as well as in security purposes. The performance of the iris recognition systems depends heavily on segmentation and normalization techniques. A review of various segmentation approaches used in iris recognition is done in this paper. The survey is represented in tabular form for quick reference.
