The specific embodiment
The acquisition method of the iris image that the present invention proposes is gathered several iris images at first in real time; Several iris images of gathering are carried out iris inward flange location respectively, to determine pupil position; Set a gray threshold, each the pixel gray value and the threshold value that will be in the above-mentioned pupil scope compare, and the pixel that is higher than threshold value for gray value is counted, thereby obtain the ratio of the pixel number in this count value and the whole pupil scope; Above-mentioned ratio is sorted from small to large in real time, select in the ranking results before n width of cloth iris image, select the image that detects by iris feature at first in this n width of cloth image, be final images acquired.
In the said method, the localized method of iris inward flange is: set a gray threshold, find out the sequence that gray value is lower than threshold value in each column direction of iris image (as shown in Figure 1); Select the longest sequence from above-mentioned sequence, then the center of the mid point of this sequence and pupil undetermined is in same horizontal line; Pixel on the above-mentioned horizontal line is tested, rejected the pixel that gray value is higher than above-mentioned setting threshold, obtain the left and right border of pupil, as shown in Figure 2.
In the said method, the method that iris feature detects is: for being positioned at pupil center's all pixels in pixel place horizontal line left side, obtain their shade of gray curve, select be higher than setting threshold the local maximum point as candidate's left border point; For being positioned at all pixels in horizontal line right side, pupil center pixel place, obtain their shade of gray curve, select be higher than setting threshold the local maximum point as candidate's right side boundary point, Fig. 3 is the shade of gray curve of iris left pixel, among Fig. 3, T gBe preset threshold, Z 1, Z 2, Z 3Be the left border point of selecting.From the above-mentioned formation of selecting of left margin point and the formation of right margin point, choose a point respectively arbitrarily, form an iris external boundary by these two points; Calculate the average gray of being had a few on this iris external boundary; Calculate the partial differential value of this average gray to current iris radius, the pairing iris boundary of maximum partial differential absolute value is the external boundary of iris undetermined; Iris external boundary undetermined and known inner boundary compared with the inside and outside boundary characteristic of experience iris, meet empirical model, promptly think and pass through feature detection.
In the inventive method, the principle of iris inward flange location institute foundation is: the intensity profile by analysis image can learn that the gray value of different parts such as pupil, iris, the white of the eye, eyelid is inequality.Because the logical light of pupil, therefore the gray value of pupil is very low in image, and intensity profile is very even, significantly is different from other parts of eyes.Therefore can utilize the intensity profile characteristic of pupil, pupil and iris be separated by setting appropriate threshold.
In the inventive method, during iris outward flange location, in the candidate queue of resulting iris left margin and right margin, respectively choose a point and form an iris external boundary.Choose all possible combination, calculate the value of following round detector on these iris external boundaries.Make following round detector reach the external boundary that peaked iris external boundary is exactly real iris, Figure 4 shows that iris outward flange positioning result.

In the following formula, G δ(r) be a smooth function, can select Gaussian function, r for use usually k, x k, y kRadius and centre coordinate for current iris external boundary.(x y) is original image to I.
The principle of the inventive method institute foundation is: generally, when carrying out iris image acquiring, for fear of lighting source imaging in the visual field disperse light source is adopted in the influence of iris image.But, if the position of ingenious arrangement dot matrix infrared light supply can make the inside of source imaging at pupil, simultaneously, suitably select when the radial position of light source is suitable, can make the picture of light source in pupil and iris tissue in the end photographic head adopt image definition maintenance one to.Therefore, the judgement for the definition of iris image just is converted into the judgement to light source image definition in the pupil.
Near image is in into the focal plane diverse location, because focusing, the picture of light source can take place fuzzy, spot size can change, shown in Fig. 5 a, Fig. 6 a.Image in the pupil scope is carried out binaryzation, and binaryzation result is shown in Fig. 5 b, Fig. 6 b.White portion is counted, just can be calculated the size of hot spot.
When iris tissue not when becoming focal plane, the hot spot scope is bigger, the white portion area is bigger after the binaryzation;
When iris tissue was positioned at into focal plane, the hot spot scope was less, and the white portion area is less after the binaryzation;
The iris image acquiring method that the inventive method adopts only comprises a pupil position fixing process and an image binaryzation counting process.Guaranteeing that operand is simplified greatly under the existing illumination, need not relate to complicated multiplication and division computing, be very suitable for the processor of low sides such as portable equipment, single-chip microcomputer, reduce the cost of device.The inventive method is insensitive for contact lens, still can keep accuracy.
