Abstract

We present a new method to measure ocular torsion using Lucas-Kanade method. After pixels of iris annulus around a pupil have been converted into Cartesian coordinates, 30 features on the iris was selected then the features were tracked using the iterative Lucas-Kanade algorithm to calculate torsional shift. The results show that a precision of the method is higher than those measured by a conventional cross-correlation and by a template matching method. The suggested method showed 0.03^o mean error with 0.15^o maximum error. Particularly, the method was robust to change of pupil size and misalignment of pupil location. Processing time was also fast enough to be implemented in a real-time system.
