Abstract

Currently, iris identification systems are not easy to use since they need a strict cooperation of the user during the snapshot acquisition process. Several acquisitions are generally needed to obtain a workable image of the iris for recognition purpose. To make the system more flexible and open to large public applications, we propose to work on the entire sequence acquired by a camera during the enrolment. Hence the recognition step can be applied on a selected number of the “best workable images” of the iris within the sequence. In this context, the aim of the paper is to present a method for pupil tracking based on a dynamic Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) together with Kalman prediction of the pupil position along the sequence. The method has been experimented on a real video sequence captured by a near Infra-Red (IR) sensitive camera and has shown its effectiveness in nearly real time computing.
