- the pupil candidate holding unit 280 rearranges the pupil candidates in descending order of evaluation values, and holds a maximum of k pupil candidates (S59).
- it is determined whether or not the captured image data is the last data of one frame (S60). If not, the process returns to step S51.
- the pupil selection unit 290 exists for each pupil candidate at a pixel position adjacent to the center coordinate. Calculate the number of other pupil candidates. Then, the X coordinate, Y coordinate, and radius value of the pupil candidate having the largest value are output to the authentication processing unit 140 as the X coordinate Xo, Y coordinate Yo, and pupil radius Ro of the true pupil (S61).
- step S 51 to step S 61 are executed each time image data for one pixel is input to the partial frame memory 222.
- the frame frequency is 30 Hz and the eye image power is 40 to 480 pixels
- the above-described series of operations are executed in a time of less than lZ (30 X 640 X 480).
- the integration circle moves one pixel on the image, so the integration circle scans the image once while inputting one frame of image. In this manner, pupil detection can be performed in real time on image data captured by the imaging unit 120 using a relatively small circuit.
- the circuit block of the pupil detection device in the second embodiment of the present invention is the same as that in the first embodiment, the same reference numerals as those in the first embodiment are assigned to the respective circuit blocks, and description thereof is omitted.
- the difference between the pupil detection device in the second embodiment and that in the first embodiment is that the image data extraction unit 220 selects image data to be selected corresponding to each integration circle, and the line memories 224 to 224. Is the timing of access.
- FIGS. 12 and 13 are diagrams for explaining the operation of the image data extraction unit 220 in the second embodiment of the present invention.
- seven line memories 224 to 224 constitute a partial frame memory 222, and three concentric integration circles C to C are formed thereon. Set. And the position on the circumference of each integration circle C ⁇ C
- the image data to be extracted is concentrated on the line memory 224.
- the image data to be extracted is selected so as not to be concentrated in one line memory.
- the number of data m does not exceed 4.
- FIG. 13 is a timing chart showing image data sent from the preprocessing unit 125 and image data outputted from the Sig line memories 224 to 224 force.
- periods T1 to T6 in which the line memories 224 to 224 perform a total of six read / write operations are provided during a period Tsig in which one image data is sent from the preprocessing unit 125.
- the number of line memory accesses is m + 2 times (6 times here). It is less than the number of accesses in the example.
- each line memory 22 outputs the oldest written image data to the next line memory 224.
- the image data output from the previous line memory 224 i + 1 i-1 is written into an empty data area.
- the first line memory 224 writes the image data output from the preprocessing unit 125 into a free area.
- the first two periods Tl and ⁇ 2 are used to cause the line memories 224 to 224, which are the same as those in the first embodiment, to function as the partial frame memory 222.
- Line memory 224 outputs one image data D corresponding to the integration circle C.
- the line memory 224 outputs one image data D.
- Line memory 224 has two image data D and
- the line memory 224 stores the image data D and D in 2
- the line memory 224 has two image data D,
- the line memory 224 outputs one image data D, and the line memory 2
- Data D is output.
- the output of line memory 224 is selected and image data D is output.
- the output of line memory 224 is selected and image data D is output.
- the selector 228 force outputs only the image data D 1, D 2, D 3 and D 4 on the circumference of the integrating circle C.
- the selector 228 operates in the line memory 224 in the period T3 and in the period T4.
- image data force integration circles read from the partial frame memory 222 are output together.
- the memory control units 225 to 225 move the line memory so that the image data D to be output is moved by one pixel.
- the integration circles C to C run the entire eye image.
- the center coordinates (X, Y) of the integral circle in this case are indicated by the outputs of the X counter 262 and the Y counter 264.
- the image data extraction unit 220 has a large number of image data to be extracted, but is arranged so as not to concentrate on these image data force specific line memories. This is because there is an upper limit on the number of times the line memory can be accessed during the period Tsig during which one image data is sent, so that the number of accesses to all line memories can be kept below that.
- make line memories 224 to 224 function as partial frame memories
- the number of image data to be extracted from one line memory is m or less.
- the number of line memory accesses in the period Tsig is set to 10 Set with times.
- the image data to be extracted is arranged so that the number of image data per line memory is 8 or less.
- the access period per time can be set longer, so a line memory with a somewhat slow operation speed can be used, and the partial frame memory Increase design freedom.
- the number of concentric integral circles is 20, and the number of image data drawn from one integral circle is 8. It is desirable to make a decision in consideration of detection accuracy, processing time, circuit scale, and the like. Also, the number of image data extracted from one integral circle need not be the same for all integral circles. In this case, in order to normalize, the integral value of each integral circle is divided by the number of image data drawn from the integral circle.
- the present invention it is possible to provide a pupil detection device and an iris authentication device capable of detecting the pupil position with high accuracy and high speed.
- the present invention can provide a pupil detection device capable of detecting the pupil position with high accuracy and high speed, and is therefore useful as an iris authentication device used for personal authentication and the like.
