Abstract

Iris plays a vital role in human life for object identification. Many models and techniques were proposed and suggested for detecting the Iris, but the accuracy was not achieved up to the level and its frequently used for biometric application. The Proposed Work divided into two steps, at first, we detect the entire eye region outer layer by using mathematics first order derivatives by applying combinations of canny edge detection and circular hough transform. The next, we detect the inner portion of eye region that is Iris region is detected by combination of sobel edge detector and circular hough transform, As the results thereby reducing the error rate, marking the edges closest to the actual edges for maximizing the localization, indicating edges and also detect the inner and outer layer of the eye portions accurately. Finally this process is applied for cerebral palsy Children to detect the misalignment of eye and obtain the deviation position and results are compared with normal children eyes. In this context, image processing techniques are being recommended as a performance evaluation tool in cerebral palsy kids.
