Description

The method and apparatus that iris image is positioned
Technical field
The present invention relates to field of biological recognition, particularly relate to the method and apparatus that a kind of pair of iris image is positioned.
Background technique
Eyelid positioning and iris locating method occupy an important position in iris authentication system, and the accuracy of localization method is straight It connects and has influenced iris feature coding and matching process, efficient, accurate, stable localization method is that measurement iris authentication system is excellent Bad major criterion.
In iris authentication system, effective iris region in human eye picture, the positioning of the upper and lower eyelid of human eye are extracted And the positioning of iris edge is essential.In practical applications, the preservation of magnanimity iris picture, it is necessary to consider storage The limitation in space, this just needs to carry out iris picture certain compression, when compression we be not necessarily to irrelevant information into Row storage, for iris picture, other than iris region, other all areas are all noise informations, need to be picked It removes, at this moment, eyelid positioning and iris edge positioning also seem necessary.
The localization method on eyelid boundary is essentially all the operation handled using a series of images in the prior art: by setting Some filters are counted, convolution operation is carried out to image and then carries out simple statistical operation on image after treatment, is screened Upper and lower eyelid boundary information is obtained, the parabolical parameter on fitting eyelid boundary is obtained according to boundary information later.But it is this The unavoidable eyelashes of method, spectacle-frame, contrast, illumination influence, can be especially big to the dependence of equipment, for different The image of equipment shooting, generally requires adjustment parameters, and generalization is very low.And the relatively-stationary threshold based on gray scale, gradient Value is chosen, and is easily illuminated by the light influence, the interference of contrast is so that the global threshold extracted lacks flexibility etc., anti-interference ability Difference.
Iris edge localization method common in the art generally can be divided into 3 classes according to iris image shape type: Based on circular positioning, the positioning based on elliptical positioning and based on irregular obstacle body.
(1) it is based on circular localization method
This method is the method being generally used, and is circular hypothesis based on iris boundary.Common algorithm has calculus Detective operators and Hough transform.Calculus detective operators method, using circle detection template, selection is average along radial direction The corresponding radius of the maximum of gradients of gray scale is iris edge radius, and then obtains round parameter information.Hough transform method, The inner and outer boundary point of iris is obtained using the method for edge detection, Hough transform is reapplied and respectively obtains iris circular boundary Parameter.But calculus detective operators and Hough transform method, their time computation complexity is relatively high, locating speed It is slow, and it assumes that iris is circular, the unsuitable certain iris deflected and deform of processing generation.Hough transform simultaneously Method is easy to be influenced by random noises such as eyelashes and hot spots, poor anti jamming capability.
(2) it is based on elliptical localization method
Based on elliptical localization method, handle since deflection angle difference causes the iris inner boundary of shooting similar to ellipse The case where shape.It is mainly acted on using shade of gray template and image, counts iris edge point, to iris inner boundary point using most Small two, which multiply fitting, determines oval relevant parameter, and the outer edge of iris point is generally calculated still according to circle.But it is based on Elliptical localization method is particularly sensitive to abnormal point, and the accuracy of ellipse fitting places one's entire reliance upon the marginal point detected, and side The searching of edge point depends on shade of gray template, sensitive to random noise point, can not handle noise image well, resists dry It is poor to disturb ability.
(3) based on the localization method of irregular obstacle body
This method mainly handles iris boundary both non-circular nor oval situations.Mainly use Active contour models mould The figure of closed curve is altered in steps in type, determines iris boundary by constantly minimization self-energy function.In this mistake Cheng Zhong, the point adjusted on profile is mobile to its neighborhood, to achieve the purpose that approach iris edge.But based on irregular obstacle body Localization method is by the way of iteration, and dependent on the selection of initial value, once initial value exceeds boundary, this method would generally be detected Failure, and even if can not also guarantee finally to restrain, under the interference of noise, often detect to the initial value set False edge.Positioning accuracy is low, and generalization is low, poor anti jamming capability.

The method that the present invention utilizes radial symmetry transform, quickly positions pupil position.
Below with specific one embodiment for example, the process of the present embodiment is as shown in Figure 9:
(1) characteristic extraction procedure:
(a) shape vector assigns initial value
Shape vector can be made of the transverse and longitudinal coordinate of 32 points, be 64 dimensional vectors, be each 13 of upper palpebra inferior respectively Point, totally 26 points;Each 3 points of iris outer circle or so, totally 6 points.In Fig. 3 shown in (a), (b) shows main point in Fig. 3 Label, (c) and (d) lists iris outer circle and only one intersection point of eyelid and when without intersection point respectively in Fig. 3, the setting of key point (it should be pointed out that in (c) palpebra inferior each key point be overlapped, (d) in upper eyelid each key point be overlapped, this is Ideally, it is in fact extremely difficult to, and this refers to the final result after subsequent calculating, rather than initial value, initial value are real Being still on border is 32 points, specific as shown in Figure 4).
Fast rough is carried out to pupil using radial symmetry transform (Radial Symmetric Transform, RST), Using the pupil rough position of positioning, using displacement information, initial value is assigned for shape vector, coarse positioning guarantees shape vector position base This is reliable, and it is too far not deviate by true value.Such as Fig. 4.
(b) the main gradient direction of key point is chosen
Firstly, the scale space of construction iris image.Verified Gaussian kernel is uniquely to can produce more rulers to Lindeberg The core in space is spent, for a width two-dimensional image I (x, y), scale space L (x, y, σ) is defined as:
Wherein, G (x, y, σ) is the Gaussian function of changeable scale, and σ is scale size, and (x, y) is space coordinate.The size of σ Determine the fog-level of image, σ value is bigger, and image is fuzzyyer, i.e., resolution ratio is lower, and σ value is smaller, can more retain the details of image Information.σ=1.6 are taken at this time, it, can be first before establishing scale space in order to avoid Gaussian Blur loses excessive high-frequency information Image is enlarged into original 2 times to retain the information of original image.
In the case where the scale space and key point coordinate of existing image, in crucial neighborhood of a point, surrounding picture is counted The gradient direction distribution of element is that each key point specifies principal direction on specific Gaussian image L with this, descriptor is made to have rotation Turn invariance, specific as follows:
For each point (x, y) on L, the amplitude m (x, y) and direction θ (x, y) of its gradient are calculated:
Then, centered on key point, the direction histogram of this key point is constituted using the gradient direction in certain area. The Statistical Radius of histogram is generally 3*1.5* σ, and the range of direction histogram is 0~360 degree, and every 10 degree are a column, shares 36 columns, the corresponding direction of every column are the gradient direction of pixel, the length of the column gradient magnitude after the adduction of direction thus.It chooses Local gradient direction histogram peak-peak direction is the principal direction of key point, peak value institute of 0.8 times greater than peak-peak The direction of key point is also used as in direction.Fig. 5 has carried out Gauss weighting to the gradient magnitude of crucial vertex neighborhood, the master obtained in this way Direction is relatively stable, and (in Fig. 5, it (b) is direction that (a), which is the gradient magnitude of each pixel and direction in crucial neighborhood of a point, Histogram).
(c) the SIFT descriptor of key point is extracted
I. image-region needed for calculating descriptor is determined
Key point adjacent domain is divided into the subregion of d × d (d=4), each region is every as a seed point The rectangular area that sub-regions distribute 3 σ is sampled, and is asked unlike principal direction, at this point, each subregion gradient direction is straight Side schemes have 8 directions, and 0,π,In view of needing bilinear interpolation when practical calculate, thus it is required The side length of image-region is 3 σ * (d+1), the radius of image-region are as follows:
Wherein σ is the corresponding scale of Gaussian image where key point.
II. area coordinate axis rotates
In order to guarantee that feature vector still has invariance in the case where image rotates, the seat with key point is needed It is designated as center, adjacent domain is obtained after reference axis is rotated the angle θ, that is, rotates in principal direction, as shown in Figure 6.
Rotate the new coordinate of sampled point in rear region are as follows:
III. sampling area histogram of gradients is calculated
Postrotational sample point coordinate is assigned to d × d sub-regions in the circle that radius is radius, then obtains every The gradient magnitude of a sampled point and direction are weighted each gradient magnitude with the standard gaussian function that parameter is 3 σ d/2, this Sample can obtain the histogram of gradients with 8 directions, such as Fig. 7 at each seed point.
The normalization of IV.SIFT feature vector
The adjacent domain of key point is divided into the subregion of d × d (d=4), i.e. 16 seed points, and each seed point These gradient informations are combined into the vector of 4*4*8=128 dimension, are exactly a key by the gradient information comprising 8 directions SIFT feature around point.
After combination obtains SIFT feature, by the way that feature vector is normalized, illumination variation can be mitigated and brought Influence.Because the gradient of every bit is subtracted each other by adjacent pixel in image, if the gray value of image occurs The case where whole drift, above-mentioned condition can also be improved by being normalized.If obtained Descriptor vector is H=(h1,h2,..., h128), the feature vector after normalization is L=(l1,l2,...,l128), then:
In addition, in some cases, the variation of nonlinear illumination condition and camera saturation degree will lead to some directions Gradient value is larger, and direction almost do not have it is impacted.At this point, a threshold value can be set, generally take after vector is normalized 0.2, biggish gradient value is truncated using this threshold value, then carries out a normalized again to the vector after truncation, such as The distinctive of SIFT feature can be improved in this.
(d) validity of SIFT feature
Traditional upper and lower eyelid localization method, is highly susceptible to the interference of eyelashes.In order to illustrate SIFT feature to eyelashes Interference have certain robustness, different type image is counted here, such as Fig. 8, respectively count ciliation interference and The true eyelid SIFT feature and non-genuine eyelid SIFT feature of no eyelashes interference, right side are real features, and left side is non-genuine Feature, it is seen then that comparison in difference is obvious between the two, meanwhile, for true feature, ciliation interference and the spy without eyelashes interference Although being had a certain difference between sign, whole similarity or relatively high.SIFT feature is to iris, eyelid and non-phase The point of pass has good identification and robustness.
(2) SDM is returned
Feature extraction finishes, and needs that shape is calculated in Feature Mapping to coordinate using suitable regression iterative algorithm Increment uses SDM algorithm here.Unlike gradient descent method, Newton method, quasi-Newton method, simulated annealing, EM scheduling algorithm progressive updating Strategy, SDM adhere to that a step updates in place.SDM method is published in CVPR2013, is proposed by Xuehan Xiong et al., mesh Be directly through the supervised learning optimal vector away from target point that obtains current point.
If the target of given piece image I, SDM positioning: it minimizes formula (6), obtains optimal shape increment Delta S,
Wherein, h (I (S)) indicates to extract the SIFT feature of shape vector S.The target of SDM parametric solution such as formula (7),
Wherein,Indicate the shape increment of i-th of sample,It indicates in current shape vectorIt extracts at place SIFT feature, R0And b0It is the regression parameter to be learnt,Indicate the original shape of i-th of sample.In general, for algorithm Robustness, when training, piece image will assign multiple original shapes.But since the characteristic variations of iris picture itself are little, And when shooting, human eye has stringent control away from the distance of iris capture apparatus, so, here, sample original shape is assigned entirely to Average shape (mean values of all training sample shape vectors), formula (7) becomes,
SDM in view of the loss function f in formula (6) about the concavity and convexity of Δ S be it is indefinite, single-step iteration is fallen in order to prevent Entering local better solution, SDM is returned using multistage, such as formula (8),
Formula (7) is typical Linear least squares minimization problem, we are using gradient descent method to parameter Rk, bkIt exercises supervision Study, has,
Wherein,
After parameter obtains, the shape of sample is updated to be updated using following form,
It is returned by multistage, generally 3-4 times, the shape vector estimated, that is, the key point coordinate predicted.
(3) robust regression
After obtaining key point coordinate, before segmentation obtains iris region, need to obtain up and down by curve-fitting method Eyelid parabola and the outer Circle Parameters of iris.
There are many curve-fitting methods, and the most commonly used is least square regressions, error sum of squares minimum is pursued, just because of such as This, haves the defects that fatal a, processing of the shortage to exceptional value.In order to solve this problem, individual point locations are reduced to miss The curve matching of the larger generation of difference deviates risk, we use robust regression method, and the processing to exceptional value is added, and enhances curve The robustness of fitting.
Robust regression method has very much, here, we using M estimate (M-estimation) method, be by Huber in The Maximum-likelihood estimation of the broad sense proposed in 1964.By taking the circle for being fitted exterior iris boundary as an example, round equation is,
x2+y2- Dx-Ey-F=0 (11)
Wherein, x, y respectively indicate round cross, ordinate, and D, E, F are respectively the parameter of circle normal equation, we are write At the form for being suitable for robust regression,
Specific to the fitting of each point, error model can be obtained,
Yi=Xib+εi (13)
Here,Xi=(1xi yi), xi、yiIndicate the key point positioned through SDM cross, ordinate.Its In, εiThe error term obtained for i-th of point estimation parameter.We select Bisquare function as M estimator (M- Estimator), i.e., the weights omega of each pointi, it is as follows to obtain cost function (cost function),
Here, ωiControl the i-th point of influence degree to fitting, and ωiIt is εiFunction, i.e. ωi=ω (εi), according to Rely the error term ε at i-th pointii=1Ai< b) (1- (εi/b)2)2, here, b is bandwidth), and εiDependent on i-th point The determination of the parameter b, b of estimation again rely on the weight term ω in cost functioni, this is a typical iterative problem.Here, We are solved using weighted iteration least square (Iterative reweighted least-square) method.
In this way, just having obtained the parameter of upper and lower eyelid parabola and iris outer circle.
Technical solution of embodiment of the present invention bring the utility model has the advantages that
The present invention regards the upper and lower eyelid parabola in iris recognition and the parameter determination process of iris outer circle as The positioning and curve fit problem of upper and lower eyelid and iris edge key point.It is firstly introduced SIFT feature, using efficient SDM algorithm, which quickly positions, obtains several key points of upper and lower eyelid and iris edge, utilizes robust regression parabola of fit and circle Parameter, complete upper and lower eyelid boundary and the outer peripheral position fixing process of iris.This method, compared to calculus detective operators etc. Conventional mapping methods have many advantages, such as that locating speed is fast, positioning accuracy is high, robustness is good, generalization is high, for example, traditional determines Position method is directed to different image libraries, needs to adjust suitable parameter, and our method does not need adjusting parameter, regression parameter It is obtained by training, it is all equally applicable for different image libraries.
The above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it is noted that for those skilled in the art For, without departing from the principles of the present invention, it can also make several improvements and retouch, these improvements and modifications It should be regarded as protection scope of the present invention.
