Abstract

In this paper algorithm of exact iris shape determination in a face image with simple background was described. This work is a part of face recognition method and will be base for developing face features extraction procedure. The aim was to locate circles circumscribed about irises (radius and centers of such circles) in frontal face image. Presented algorithm combines known image processing algorithms and developed procedures. Achieved results are satisfactory for purpose of use in face recognition method, which is being developed.
