Recently, Iris recognition systems have gained increased attention especially in non-cooperative environments. One of the crucial steps in the iris recognition system is the iris segmentation because it significantly affects the accuracy of the feature extraction and iris matching steps. In this paper, a new algorithm is being proposed to segment the iris images captured in visible wavelength u...

this research is considered to be a research to attract attention to the 3D iris compression to store the database of the iris. Actually, the 3D iris database cannot be found and in trying to solve this problem 2D iris database images are converted to 3D images just to implement the compression techniques used in 3D domain to test it and give an approximation results or to focus on this new dir...

UNLABELLED Tuberculosis is one of the leading causes of development of Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) in HIV patients receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART). OBJECTIVE To determine the incidence of IRIS in HIV-TB coinfected patients, and to find out the possible risk factors associated with IRIS. MATERIALS AND METHODS Study commenced with 96 patients adhered to standard ...

Low quality iris images such as blurry, low resolution images with poor illumination create a big challenge for iris recognition systems. We propose a new iris recognition algorithm for enhancement of normalized iris images. Our algorithm is based on the logarithmic image processing (LIP) image enhancement which is used as one of the 3 stages in the enhancement process. Results from processing ...

In this paper, some successful iris recognition methods are listed and their performances are compared. Furthermore, the existing approaches, challenges and conclusion are described. The purpose of ‘Iris Recognition’ is to recognize a person from his/her iris image. Every individual has a unique iris. Iris is an important biometric method with high accuracy, performance and low error rate. Iris...

A modification of iris recognition algorithm using Hermite transform to find iris key points has been developed. The iris image mask for the areas free of eyelids, eyelashes and glares is constructed. The key points are found inside the masked iris region. The use of eye rotation compensation based on Polar Hermite Transform before iris parameterization makes the method more effective. The prop...

• ART-containing integrase inhibitors could be associated with higher incidence of TB-associated IRIS. Prospective studies are needed to better characterize the risk IRIS-TB and determine optimal ART regimen for TB-HIV coinfected patients. Tuberculosis is a immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) after initiation. Data from all patients newly diagnosed tuberculosis disease uncontroll...

Managing iris prolapse After reading the article by Tint et al., we would like to share some comments and tips about dealing with iris prolapse. First, one principle we obey in iris prolapse is to maintain the anterior chamber pressure at a stable and relatively low level. The goal is to prevent recurrent prolapse and minimize damage to the iris, since we found that with each prolapse and repos...

The iris texture curve features play an important role in iris recognition. Although better performance in terms of recognition effectiveness can be attained using the recognition approach based on the wavelet transform, the iris curve singularity cannot be sparsely represented by wavelet coefficients. In view of the better approximation accuracy and sparse representation ability of the Curvele...
