='''Introduction'''=<br />
<br />
'''Segmentation is a critical part in iris recognition systems''', since errors in this initial stage are propagated to subsequent processing stages. Therefore, the performance of iris segmentation algorithms is paramount to the performance of the overall system. In order to properly evaluate and develop iris segmentation algorithm, especially under difficult conditions like off-angle and significant occlusions or bad lighting, '''it is beneficial to directly assess the segmentation algorithm'''. Currently, when evaluating the performance of iris segmentation algorithms, this is '''mostly done by utilizing the recognition rate''', and consequently the overall performance of the biometric system. However, the overall recognition performance is not only affected by the segmentation accuracy, but also by the performance of the other subsystems based on possible suboptimal segmentation of the iris. As such it is '''difficult to differentiate between defects in the iris segmentation system and effects which might be introduced later''' in the system (you can read more about this phenomenon in our ICB 2013 publication [http://hh.diva-portal.org/smash/record.jsf?searchId=2&pid=diva2:607425 here], which is summarized in the following figures).<br />

<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
='''Dataset overview'''=<br />
<br />
For these reasons, with the purpose of allowing assessment of iris segmentation algorithms with independence of the whole biometric system, '''we have generated an iris segmentation ground truth database'''. We have segmented '''a total of 12,621 iris images from 7 databases'''. This data is now made publicly available, and can be used to analyse existing and test new iris segmentation algorithms. The iris segmentation database ('''IRISSEG''') contains a mask for each iris image in form of parameters and a method to extract the mask. The database is partitioned into two datasets based on the shapes used for segmenting the iris and eyelid, the '''CC and EP dataset'''. For the CC dataset the parameters define circles which give the iris boundaries and eyelid maskings. For the EP dataset the parameters define ellipses for the iris and polynomials for the eyelid. Note that the eyelid parametrization was done in a way to ensure the best possible separation of iris and eyelids in the iris region, i.e. outside the iris region the parametrization is not necessarily accurate. Eyelashes occlusion is not included in the segmentation data. In addition, only iris segmentation data is provided in the IRISSEG dataset, not the original eye image databases, since they are not owned by us. A link to the actual iris databases is included in each case, please refer to them in order to obtain the original databases.<br />

=='''Introduction'''==<br />
<br />
'''This page provides a software code for iris segmentation based on the Generalized Structure Tensor (GST)''', based on publications [1] and [2] ([http://wiki.hh.se/caisr/index.php/Iris_Segmentation_Code_Based_on_the_GST#References below] in this page). Its development was made mainly during the 2011-2013 [http://wiki.hh.se/caisr/index.php/BIO-DISTANCE FP7 Marie Curie IEF Action BIO-DISTANCE], but it contains some improvements and add-ons incorporated afterwards. We keep working constantly in this topic, so if you are interested, it is maybe worth checking from time to time if new improvements have been added to the code.<br />
<br />
The software accepts an iris image as input, and outputs segmentation information of the input iris image (see below for more information). It is capable of handling images acquired both in near-infrared (NIR) and visible (VW) spectrum.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''The GST code consist of the following steps''' (some can be deactivated or customized, please read the documentation included with the code):<br />
<br />
1) <u>Image downsampling</u> for speed purposes. This will not jeopardize accuracy, since the detected iris circles are later fitted to the irregular iris contours, so any loss of resolution in iris circles detection due to downsampling is compensated.<br />
<!-- Esto es un comentario --><br />
<br />
2) <u>Contrast normalization</u> based on imadjust (Matlab function). This increases the image contrast, spreading grey values fully in the 0-255 range.<br />

<br />
4) <u>Computation of the image frequency</u> based on the method published in [http://wiki.hh.se/caisr/index.php/Iris_Segmentation_Code_Based_on_the_GST#References reference 2]. This helps to customize inner parameters of steps 5-8 to the input image.<br />

<br />
5) <u>Adaptive eyelash removal</u> using the image frequency, as indicated in [http://wiki.hh.se/caisr/index.php/Iris_Segmentation_Code_Based_on_the_GST#References reference 2]. The method is based on p-rank filters as published in [http://wiki.hh.se/caisr/index.php/Iris_Segmentation_Code_Based_on_the_GST#References reference 4]. Eyelashes are removed since they create strong vertical edges that may mislead the filters used for eye center estimation and iris segmentation in steps 7 and 9.<br />

<br />
6) <u>Adaptive edge map computation</u> using the image frequency, as indicated in [http://wiki.hh.se/caisr/index.php/Iris_Segmentation_Code_Based_on_the_GST#References reference 2]. Edge map is the basis for eye center estimation and iris boundaries detection, see references [1, 2] for further details.<br />

<br />
7) <u>Estimation of the eye center</u> based on the method published in [http://wiki.hh.se/caisr/index.php/Iris_Segmentation_Code_Based_on_the_GST#References reference 2] using circular symmetry filters. The estimated center is used to mask candidate regions for the centers of iris circles, helping to improve detection accuracy in step 9.<br />
<!-- Esto es un comentario --><br />
<br />
8) <u>Detection of eyelids</u> based on linear symmetry detection of horizontal edges (unpublished and unoptimized, only return a straight line). The detected eyelids are used to mask candidate regions for the centers of iris circles too, helping to improve detection accuracy in step 9.<br />
<!-- Esto es un comentario --><br />
<br />
9) <u>Detection of iris boundaries</u> based on the method published in [http://wiki.hh.se/caisr/index.php/Iris_Segmentation_Code_Based_on_the_GST#References reference 1] using the Generalized Structure Tensor (GST). In NIR images, the inner (pupil) circle is detected first, while in VW images, the outer (sclera) filter is detected first. This is because in NIR images, pupil-to-iris transition is sharper than iris-to-sclera transition, thus more reliable to detect in the first place. The opposite happens with VW images.<br />

<br />
10) <u>Irregular contour fitting</u> based on active contours as published in reference [http://wiki.hh.se/caisr/index.php/Iris_Segmentation_Code_Based_on_the_GST#References reference 5].<br />

'''The code outputs the following information of the input iris image''':<br />
* Segmentation circles of the iris region (inner and outer circle) as well as eyelids (in the form of a straight line)<br />
* Irregular (non-circular) iris boundaries fitted by active contours <br />
* Estimated eye center (computed at the beginning and used to assist in the segmentation)<br />
* Intermediate images after contrast normalization, specular reflection removal, and eyelash removal<br />

='''Introduction'''=<br />
<br />
'''Segmentation is a critical part in iris recognition systems''', since errors in this initial stage are propagated to subsequent processing stages. Therefore, the performance of iris segmentation algorithms is paramount to the performance of the overall system. In order to properly evaluate and develop iris segmentation algorithm, especially under difficult conditions like off-angle and significant occlusions or bad lighting, '''it is beneficial to directly assess the segmentation algorithm'''. Currently, when evaluating the performance of iris segmentation algorithms, this is '''mostly done by utilizing the recognition rate''', and consequently the overall performance of the biometric system. However, the overall recognition performance is not only affected by the segmentation accuracy, but also by the performance of the other subsystems based on possible suboptimal segmentation of the iris. As such it is '''difficult to differentiate between defects in the iris segmentation system and effects which might be introduced later''' in the system (you can read more about this phenomenon in our ICB 2013 publication [http://hh.diva-portal.org/smash/record.jsf?searchId=2&pid=diva2:607425 here], which is summarized in the following figures).<br />

='''Dataset overview'''=<br />
<br />
For these reasons, with the purpose of allowing assessment of iris segmentation algorithms with independence of the whole biometric system, '''we have generated an iris segmentation ground truth database'''. We have segmented '''a total of 12,621 iris images from 7 databases'''. This data is now made publicly available, and can be used to analyse existing and test new iris segmentation algorithms. The iris segmentation database ('''IRISSEG''') contains a mask for each iris image in form of parameters and a method to extract the mask. The database is partitioned into two datasets based on the shapes used for segmenting the iris and eyelid, the '''CC and EP dataset'''. For the CC dataset the parameters define circles which give the iris boundaries and eyelid maskings. For the EP dataset the parameters define ellipses for the iris and polynomials for the eyelid. Note that the eyelid parametrization was done in a way to ensure the best possible separation of iris and eyelids in the iris region, i.e. outside the iris region the parametrization is not necessarily accurate. Eyelashes occlusion is not included in the segmentation data. In addition, only iris segmentation data is provided in the IRISSEG dataset, not the original eye image databases, since they are not owned by us. A link to the actual iris databases is included in each case, please refer to them in order to obtain the original databases.<br />

=== BioSec Multimodal Biometric Database Baseline (iris part) ===<br />
<br />
The BioSec database has 3,200 iris images of 640x480 pixels from 200 subjects acquired with a LG IrisAccess EOU3000 close-up infrared iris camera. Here, we use a subset comprising data from 75 subjects (totalling 1,200 iris images), for which iris and eyelids segmentation groundtruth is available.<br />

<br />
The CASIA-Iris-Interval subset of the CASIA v3.0 database, containing 2655 iris images of 320x280 pixels from 249 subjects, was fully segmented. Images were acquired with a close-up infrared iris camera in an indoor environment, having images with very clear iris texture details thanks to a circular NIR LED array.<br />

<br />
The iris training subset of the MobBIO database, containing 800 images of 240x200 pixels from 100 subjects, was fully segmented. Images were captured with the Asus Eee Pad Transformer TE300T Tablet (webcam in visible light) in two different lightning conditions, with variable eye orientations and occlusion levels, resulting in a large variability of acquisition conditions. Distance to the camera was kept constant, however.<br />

='''Introduction'''=<br />
<br />
'''Segmentation is a critical part in iris recognition systems''', since errors in this initial stage are propagated to subsequent processing stages. Therefore, the performance of iris segmentation algorithms is paramount to the performance of the overall system. In order to properly evaluate and develop iris segmentation algorithm, especially under difficult conditions like off-angle and significant occlusions or bad lighting, '''it is beneficial to directly assess the segmentation algorithm'''. Currently, when evaluating the performance of iris segmentation algorithms, this is '''mostly done by utilizing the recognition rate''', and consequently the overall performance of the biometric system. However, the overall recognition performance is not only affected by the segmentation accuracy, but also by the performance of the other subsystems based on possible suboptimal segmentation of the iris. As such it is '''difficult to differentiate between defects in the iris segmentation system and effects which might be introduced later''' in the system (you can read more about this phenomenon in our ICB 2013 publication [http://hh.diva-portal.org/smash/record.jsf?searchId=2&pid=diva2:607425 here], which is summarized in the following figures).<br />

<br />
<br />
='''Dataset overview'''=<br />
<br />
For these reasons, with the purpose of allowing assessment of iris segmentation algorithms with independence of the whole biometric system, '''we have generated an iris segmentation ground truth database'''. We have segmented '''a total of 12,621 iris images from 7 databases'''. This data is now made publicly available, and can be used to analyse existing and test new iris segmentation algorithms. The iris segmentation database ('''IRISSEG''') contains a mask for each iris image in form of parameters and a method to extract the mask. The database is partitioned into two datasets based on the shapes used for segmenting the iris and eyelid, the '''CC and EP dataset'''. For the CC dataset the parameters define circles which give the iris boundaries and eyelid maskings. For the EP dataset the parameters define ellipses for the iris and polynomials for the eyelid. Note that the eyelid parametrization was done in a way to ensure the best possible separation of iris and eyelids in the iris region, i.e. outside the iris region the parametrization is not necessarily accurate. Eyelashes occlusion is not included in the segmentation data. In addition, only iris segmentation data is provided in the IRISSEG dataset, not the original eye image databases, since they are not owned by us. A link to the actual iris databases is included in each case, please refer to them in order to obtain the original databases.<br />

='''Introduction'''=<br />
<br />
'''Segmentation is a critical part in iris recognition systems''', since errors in this initial stage are propagated to subsequent processing stages. Therefore, the performance of iris segmentation algorithms is paramount to the performance of the overall system. In order to properly evaluate and develop iris segmentation algorithm, especially under difficult conditions like off-angle and significant occlusions or bad lighting, '''it is beneficial to directly assess the segmentation algorithm'''. Currently, when evaluating the performance of iris segmentation algorithms, this is '''mostly done by utilizing the recognition rate''', and consequently the overall performance of the biometric system. However, the overall recognition performance is not only affected by the segmentation accuracy, but also by the performance of the other subsystems based on possible suboptimal segmentation of the iris. As such it is '''difficult to differentiate between defects in the iris segmentation system and effects which might be introduced later''' in the system (you can read more about this phenomenon in our ICB 2013 publication [http://hh.diva-portal.org/smash/record.jsf?searchId=2&pid=diva2:607425 here], which is summarized in the following figures).<br />

<br />
<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
='''Dataset overview'''=<br />
<br />
For these reasons, with the purpose of allowing assessment of iris segmentation algorithms with independence of the whole biometric system, '''we have generated an iris segmentation ground truth database'''. We have segmented '''a total of 12,621 iris images from 7 databases'''. This data is now made publicly available, and can be used to analyse existing and test new iris segmentation algorithms. The iris segmentation database ('''IRISSEG''') contains a mask for each iris image in form of parameters and a method to extract the mask. The database is partitioned into two datasets based on the shapes used for segmenting the iris and eyelid, the '''CC and EP dataset'''. For the CC dataset the parameters define circles which give the iris boundaries and eyelid maskings. For the EP dataset the parameters define ellipses for the iris and polynomials for the eyelid. Note that the eyelid parametrization was done in a way to ensure the best possible separation of iris and eyelids in the iris region, i.e. outside the iris region the parametrization is not necessarily accurate. Eyelashes occlusion is not included in the segmentation data. In addition, only iris segmentation data is provided in the IRISSEG dataset, not the original eye image databases, since they are not owned by us. A link to the actual iris databases is included in each case, please refer to them in order to obtain the original databases.<br />

=='''Introduction'''==<br />
<br />
'''This page provides a software code for iris segmentation based on the Generalized Structure Tensor (GST)''', based on publications [1] and [2] ([http://wiki.hh.se/caisr/index.php/Iris_Segmentation_Code_Based_on_the_GST#References below] in this page). Its development was made mainly during the 2011-2013 [http://wiki.hh.se/caisr/index.php/BIO-DISTANCE FP7 Marie Curie IEF Action BIO-DISTANCE], but it contains some improvements and add-ons incorporated afterwards. We keep working constantly in this topic, so if you are interested, it is maybe worth checking from time to time if new improvements have been added to the code.<br />
<br />
The software accepts an iris image as input, and outputs segmentation information of the input iris image (see below for more information). It is capable of handling images acquired both in near-infrared (NIR) and visible (VW) spectrum.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''The GST code consist of the following steps''' (some can be deactivated or customized, please read the documentation included with the code):<br />
<br />
1) <u>Image downsampling</u> for speed purposes. This will not jeopardize accuracy, since the detected iris circles are later fitted to the irregular iris contours, so any loss of resolution in iris circles detection due to downsampling is compensated.<br />
<!-- Esto es un comentario --><br />
<br />
2) <u>Contrast normalization</u> based on imadjust (Matlab function). This increases the image contrast, spreading grey values fully in the 0-255 range.<br />
<!-- Esto es un comentario --><br />
<br />
3) <u>Specular reflection removal</u> based on the method published in [http://wiki.hh.se/caisr/index.php/Iris_Segmentation_Code_Based_on_the_GST#References reference 3].<br />
<!-- Esto es un comentario --><br />
<br />
4) <u>Computation of the image frequency</u> based on the method published in [http://wiki.hh.se/caisr/index.php/Iris_Segmentation_Code_Based_on_the_GST#References reference 2]. This helps to customize inner parameters of steps 5-8 to the input image.<br />
<!-- Esto es un comentario --><br />
<br />
5) <u>Adaptive eyelash removal</u> using the image frequency, as indicated in [http://wiki.hh.se/caisr/index.php/Iris_Segmentation_Code_Based_on_the_GST#References reference 2]. The method is based on p-rank filters as published in [http://wiki.hh.se/caisr/index.php/Iris_Segmentation_Code_Based_on_the_GST#References reference 4]. Eyelashes are removed since they create strong vertical edges that may mislead the filters used for eye center estimation and iris segmentation in steps 7 and 9.<br />

9) <u>Detection of iris boundaries</u> based on the method published in [http://wiki.hh.se/caisr/index.php/Iris_Segmentation_Code_Based_on_the_GST#References reference 1] using the Generalized Structure Tensor (GST). In NIR images, the inner (pupil) circle is detected first, while in VW images, the outer (sclera) filter is detected first. This is because in NIR images, pupil-to-iris transition is sharper than iris-to-sclera transition, thus more reliable to detect in the first place. The opposite happens with VW images.<br />

=='''Introduction'''==<br />
<br />
'''This page provides a software code for iris segmentation based on the Generalized Structure Tensor (GST)''', based on publications [1] and [2] ([http://wiki.hh.se/caisr/index.php/Iris_Segmentation_Code_Based_on_the_GST#References below] in this page). Its development was made mainly during the 2011-2013 [http://wiki.hh.se/caisr/index.php/BIO-DISTANCE FP7 Marie Curie IEF Action BIO-DISTANCE], but it contains some improvements and add-ons incorporated afterwards. We keep working constantly in this topic, so if you are interested, it is maybe worth checking from time to time if new improvements have been added to the code.<br />
<br />
The software accepts an iris image as input, and outputs segmentation information of the input iris image (see below for more information). It is capable of handling images acquired both in near-infrared (NIR) and visible (VW) spectrum.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''The GST code consist of the following steps''' (some can be deactivated or customized, please read the documentation included with the code):<br />
<br />
1) <u>Image downsampling</u> for speed purposes. This will not jeopardize accuracy, since the detected iris circles are later fitted to the irregular iris contours, so any loss of resolution in iris circles detection due to downsampling is compensated.<br />
<!-- Esto es un comentario --><br />
<br />
2) <u>Contrast normalization</u> based on imadjust (Matlab function). This increases the image contrast, spreading grey values fully in the 0-255 range.<br />
<!-- Esto es un comentario --><br />
<br />
3) <u>Specular reflection removal</u> based on the method published in [http://wiki.hh.se/caisr/index.php/Iris_Segmentation_Code_Based_on_the_GST#References reference 3].<br />
<!-- Esto es un comentario --><br />
<br />
4) <u>Computation of the image frequency</u> based on the method published in [http://wiki.hh.se/caisr/index.php/Iris_Segmentation_Code_Based_on_the_GST#References reference 2]. This helps to customize inner parameters of steps 5-8 to the input image.<br />
<!-- Esto es un comentario --><br />
<br />
5) <u>Adaptive eyelash removal</u> using the image frequency, as indicated in [http://wiki.hh.se/caisr/index.php/Iris_Segmentation_Code_Based_on_the_GST#References reference 2]. The method is based on p-rank filters as published in [http://wiki.hh.se/caisr/index.php/Iris_Segmentation_Code_Based_on_the_GST#References reference 4]. Eyelashes are removed since they create strong vertical edges that may mislead the filters used for eye center estimation and iris segmentation in steps 7 and 9.<br />

==Descripción==<br />
<br />
Este curso está basado en el [https://www.hh.se/sitevision/proxy/student/innehall-a-o/kursplan.html/svid12_464ca102168ed1f8d3b1293f/752680950/se_proxy/utb_kursplan.asp?kurskod=DI2009&revisionsnr=3&format=pdf&lang=en curso "Biometric Recognition/Biometrisk Identifiering"] del [https://www.hh.se/utbildning/program/it-forensik-och-informationssakerhet.html programa de grado en IT-Forensics] de la Universidad de Halmstad (Suecia).<br />
<br />
El curso original se imparte en inglés, por lo que el material está en inglés también y esta página mezcla ambos idiomas, dado que voy extrayendo el contenido del curso original. No obstante, las clases se impartirán/grabarán en castellano. Si el inglés supone algún problema, hacédmelo saber a mi o al responsable del curso de la UIB para buscar una solución.<br />

==Descripción==<br />
<br />
Este curso está basado en el [https://www.hh.se/sitevision/proxy/student/innehall-a-o/kursplan.html/svid12_464ca102168ed1f8d3b1293f/752680950/se_proxy/utb_kursplan.asp?kurskod=DI2009&revisionsnr=3&format=pdf&lang=en curso "Biometric Recognition/Biometrisk Identifiering"] del [https://www.hh.se/utbildning/program/it-forensik-och-informationssakerhet.html programa de grado en IT-Forensics] de la Universidad de Halmstad (Suecia).<br />
<br />
El curso original se imparte en inglés, por lo que el material está en inglés también y esta página mezcla ambos idiomas, dado que voy extrayendo el contenido del curso original. No obstante, las clases se impartirán/grabarán en castellano. Si el inglés supone algún problema, hacédmelo saber a mi o al responsable del curso de la UIB para buscar una solución.<br />

=='''Introduction'''==<br />
<br />
'''This page provides a software code for iris segmentation based on the Generalized Structure Tensor (GST)''', based on publications [1] and [2] ([http://wiki.hh.se/caisr/index.php/Iris_Segmentation_Code_Based_on_the_GST#References below] in this page). Its development was made mainly during the 2011-2013 [http://wiki.hh.se/caisr/index.php/BIO-DISTANCE FP7 Marie Curie IEF Action BIO-DISTANCE], but it contains some improvements and add-ons incorporated afterwards. We keep working constantly in this topic, so if you are interested, it is maybe worth checking from time to time if new improvements have been added to the code.<br />
<br />
The software accepts an iris image as input, and outputs segmentation information of the input iris image (see below for more information). It is capable of handling images acquired both in near-infrared (NIR) and visible (VW) spectrum.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''The GST code consist of the following steps''' (some can be deactivated or customized, please read the documentation included with the code):<br />
<br />
1) <u>Image downsampling</u> for speed purposes. This will not jeopardize accuracy, since the detected iris circles are later fitted to the irregular iris contours, so any loss of resolution in iris circles detection due to downsampling is compensated.<br />
<!-- Esto es un comentario --><br />
<br />
2) <u>Contrast normalization</u> based on imadjust (Matlab function). This increases the image contrast, spreading grey values fully in the 0-255 range.<br />
<!-- Esto es un comentario --><br />
<br />
3) <u>Specular reflection removal</u> based on the method published in [http://wiki.hh.se/caisr/index.php/Iris_Segmentation_Code_Based_on_the_GST#References reference 3].<br />
<!-- Esto es un comentario --><br />
<br />
4) <u>Computation of the image frequency</u> based on the method published in [http://wiki.hh.se/caisr/index.php/Iris_Segmentation_Code_Based_on_the_GST#References reference 2]. This helps to customize inner parameters of steps 5-8 to the input image.<br />
<!-- Esto es un comentario --><br />
<br />
5) <u>Adaptive eyelash removal</u> using the image frequency, as indicated in [http://wiki.hh.se/caisr/index.php/Iris_Segmentation_Code_Based_on_the_GST#References reference 2]. The method is based on p-rank filters as published in [http://wiki.hh.se/caisr/index.php/Iris_Segmentation_Code_Based_on_the_GST#References reference 4]. Eyelashes are removed since they create strong vertical edges that may mislead the filters used for eye center estimation and iris segmentation in steps 7 and 9.<br />

<br /><br />
[[Image:gst_iris_image_prepro.png|thumb|none|center|middle|600px|Image preprocessing]]<br />
<br /><br />
<br />
6) <u>Adaptive edge map computation</u> using the image frequency, as indicated in [http://wiki.hh.se/caisr/index.php/Iris_Segmentation_Code_Based_on_the_GST#References reference 2]. Edge map is the basis for eye center estimation and iris boundaries detection, see references [1, 2] for further details.<br />
<!-- Esto es un comentario --><br />
<br />
7) <u>Estimation of the eye center</u> based on the method published in [http://wiki.hh.se/caisr/index.php/Iris_Segmentation_Code_Based_on_the_GST#References reference 2] using circular symmetry filters. The estimated center is used to mask candidate regions for the centers of iris circles, helping to improve detection accuracy in step 9.<br />
<!-- Esto es un comentario --><br />
<br />
8) <u>Detection of eyelids</u> based on linear symmetry detection of horizontal edges (unpublished and unoptimized, only return a straight line). The detected eyelids are used to mask candidate regions for the centers of iris circles too, helping to improve detection accuracy in step 9.<br />
<!-- Esto es un comentario --><br />
<br />
9) <u>Detection of iris boundaries</u> based on the method published in [http://wiki.hh.se/caisr/index.php/Iris_Segmentation_Code_Based_on_the_GST#References reference 1] using the Generalized Structure Tensor (GST). In NIR images, the inner (pupil) circle is detected first, while in VW images, the outer (sclera) filter is detected first. This is because in NIR images, pupil-to-iris transition is sharper than iris-to-sclera transition, thus more reliable to detect in the first place. The opposite happens with VW images.<br />
<!-- Esto es un comentario --><br />
<br />
10) <u>Irregular contour fitting</u> based on active contours as published in reference [http://wiki.hh.se/caisr/index.php/Iris_Segmentation_Code_Based_on_the_GST#References reference 5].<br />
<br />
<br /><br />
[[Image:gst_iris_image_segment.png|thumb|none|center|middle|600px|Image segmentation]]<br />
<br /><br />
<br />
'''The code outputs the following information of the input iris image''':<br />
* Segmentation circles of the iris region (inner and outer circle) as well as eyelids (in the form of a straight line)<br />
* Irregular (non-circular) iris boundaries fitted by active contours <br />
* Estimated eye center (computed at the beginning and used to assist in the segmentation)<br />
* Intermediate images after contrast normalization, specular reflection removal, and eyelash removal<br />
* Complex edge map of the input image<br />
* Binary segmentation mask<br />

|ShortDescription='''Biometrics at a Distance'''<br />
|Description=Despite the practical importance and the advantages of biometric solutions to the task of verifying personal identity, their adoption has proved to be slower that predicted. Biometrics ''on the move'' is a hottest research topic aimed to acquire biometric data ''at a distance'' as a person walks by detection equipment. This drastically reduces the need of user’s cooperation, achieving low intrusiveness and thus, high acceptance and transparency.<br />
<br />
With these ideas in mind, the main objective of this project is to investigate a number of activities aimed to make biometric technologies applicable to data acquired at a distance and/or on the move. We propose the use of face and iris as the reference modalities, being the two traits that are attracting more efforts thanks to the possibility of their simultaneous acquisition. This project is an integrated approach that covers the whole structure of a biometric system, including basic research and algorithm development for the different stages of the system, as well as practical results through case studies implementation and evaluation. To accomplish the overall objectives, a number of challenges need to be overcome, which constitute the specific research objectives.<br />

== Iris Quality Measures ==<br />
<br />
Several quality measures of the iris region have been implemented and evaluated, both locally (iris<br />
boundaries) and globally (whole eye region), including the proposal of novel algorithms. We have<br />
aimed to quantify image properties reported in the literature as having the greatest influence in iris<br />
recognition accuracy, in support of the standard ISO/IEC 29794-6 Biometric Sample Quality (part 6:<br />
Iris image). The algorithms implemented include measurements of: defocus blur (1 algorithm),<br />
motion blur and image interlace (1 algorithm), contrast of iris boundaries (2 algorithms), circularity<br />
of iris boundaries (1 algorithm), gray scale spread (2 algorithms), and occlusion (1 algorithm).<br />
<br />
The algorithms are described in publication [2] [http://wiki.hh.se/caisr/index.php/BIO-DISTANCE#References below]. The following is a slide from the conference presentation:<br />
<br />

<br />
== Iris Detection and Segmentation Algorithms ==<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Iris segmentation algorithm ===<br />
<br />
A complete system that allows the segmentation of iris boundaries and the detection of occluding<br />
eyelids has been developed. It is based on the Generalized Structure Tensor (GST) theory, introduced<br />
20 years ago by Prof. [[Josef Bigun]] to analyze local orientation of images. Using manual<br />
segmentation as benchmark for our experiments, our system has shown a considerable improvement<br />
over popular methods (such as the Circular Hough Transform or the Integro-Differential operator)<br />
that do not analyze local orientations of the image. The results obtained show the validity of our<br />
proposed approach and demonstrate that the GST constitutes an alternative to classic iris<br />
segmentation approaches.<br />
<br />
The GST segmentation algorithm is described in publications [5] and [6] [http://wiki.hh.se/caisr/index.php/BIO-DISTANCE#References below]. The following are some slides from the conference presentations:<br />

<br />
[[Image:GSTsegmentationresultseyelids.jpg|600px]]<br />
<br />
=== Impact of quality components in the iris segmentation === <br />
<br />
We have also analyzed the impact of image defocus and motion blur in the segmentation. Reported<br />
results shows the superior resilience of the GST compared with the popular segmentation methods<br />
indicated, with similar performance in pupil detection (inner iris boundary), and clearly better<br />
performance in sclera detection (outer iris boundary) for all levels of degradation. It is worth noting<br />
here than the outer iris boundary (sclera) is usually more difficult to detect than the inner iris<br />
boundary (pupil). Since the pupil is generally darker than the iris, there will be a sharper transition<br />
between the pupil and the iris, which is easier to detect than the softer transition between the iris and<br />
the sclera. Therefore, our GST system contributes with a better detection of sclera boundaries than<br />
traditional systems.<br />
<br />
This quality study is described in publication [5] [http://wiki.hh.se/caisr/index.php/BIO-DISTANCE#References below].<br />
<br />
The impact of the eight quality components of above in the segmentation performance has also been studied. <br />
Quality measures are computed locally (around the iris boundaries) and<br />
some of them are also computed globally (in the whole image of the eye region). It has been found<br />
that local quality metrics are better predictors of the segmentation accuracy than global metrics,<br />
despite the obvious limitation of requiring segmentation. Some measures also behave differently<br />
when they are computed locally or globally.<br />
<br />
This quality study is described in publication [2] [http://wiki.hh.se/caisr/index.php/BIO-DISTANCE#References below].<br />
<br />
=== Detection of eye regions === <br />
<br />
Accurate segmentation of iris boundaries demands the use of good quality images acquired in more<br />
or less controlled conditions. With the purpose of going towards a less-controlled and distant<br />
acquisition, we have developed a system for detection of the complete eye region. The target is to<br />
make detection of human faces possible over a wide range of distances, even when the iris texture<br />
cannot be reliably obtained (low resolution, off-angle, etc.) or under partial face occlusion (close<br />
distances, viewing angle, etc.). This is a necessary step, for example, to zoom into the iris texture and<br />
segment the iris boundaries, or to allow tracking of human faces when the whole face is not<br />
available. Existing face detection algorithms model faces in a holistic manner, so they fail in case of<br />
face occlusion or sometimes simply with arbitrary (non-frontal) poses. On the other hand, the iris<br />
texture can be very difficult to obtain in distant acquisition. The task proposed is an intermediate<br />
step, i.e. detection of the eye region, not relying on having neither the full face available nor a<br />
well-defined iris texture. The approach for this purpose has been the use of symmetry filters and the<br />
Generalized Structure Tensor theory (as in the segmentation of iris boundaries above, where we have<br />
used circular filters only). We have started with the use of symmetry filters capable of detecting<br />
patterns of concentric circles. Our assumption is that the region around the eye center shows this kind<br />
of pattern, and even considering that the iris circles are not exactly concentric, this approach has<br />
provided promising results. This kind of filters has been evaluated with images acquired with a<br />
webcam from a portable tablet PC, showing strong detection capabilities of eye regions.<br />
<br />
The following is a slide showing some detection results on eye images from the [http://paginas.fe.up.pt/~mobBIO2013/ MobBIO database]:<br />

<br />
== Iris Feature Extraction and Matching Algorithms ==<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Impact of quality components in the matching stage === <br />
<br />
We have also evaluated the impact of quality components (using the measures developed above) in<br />
the performance of two iris matchers based on Log-Gabor wavelets and SIFT keypoints (the first one<br />
is a popular, publicly available iris matcher, while the second one is based on public SIFT source code<br />
which has been adapted to work on iris images). We observe that the matchers are also sensitive to quality variations,<br />
but not necessarily in the same way than the segmentation algorithm. Also, the SIFT matcher is<br />
observed to be more resilient to segmentation inaccuracies. In this sense, errors in the segmentation<br />
may be hidden by the matcher, pointing out the importance of evaluating also the precision of iris<br />
segmentation, as proposed in this project, rather than focusing on recognition accuracy only.<br />
<br />
This quality study is described in publication [2] [http://wiki.hh.se/caisr/index.php/BIO-DISTANCE#References below].<br />
<br />
It is relevant to note that the success of iris segmentation is crucial for the good performance of iris<br />
recognition systems. Previous research works treat iris recognition systems as a black box, evaluating<br />
the impact of quality factors at the output of the system (i.e. by looking at the recognition<br />
performance). The same procedure is traditionally followed to evaluate new developments in the<br />
segmentation stage. This project has brought innovative aspects in the sense that it has focused on<br />
evaluating directly the precision of the segmentation. The observed results, with segmentator and<br />
matcher not necessary behaving in the same way, support the proposed evaluation framework.<br />
Experiments also show that quality measures are not necessarily correlated. Quality is intrinsically<br />
multi-dimensional and it is affected by factors of very different nature. Research done in this<br />
direction includes fusing the estimated quality measures to obtain a single measure with higher<br />
prediction capability of the segmentation and matching accuracy. On-going research also includes<br />
exploiting the different sensitivity observed in the two matchers, so by using adaptive quality fusion<br />
schemes, we are seeking to obtain better performance over a wide range of qualities.<br />
<br />
=== Personal recognition based on periocular information === <br />
<br />
Periocular recognition is a direction that has gained attention recently in biometrics. Periocular refers<br />
to the face region in the vicinity of the eye, including the eye, eyelids, lashes and eyebrows. This<br />
region can be easily obtained with existing setups for face and iris, and the requirement of user<br />
cooperation can be relaxed. An evident advantage of the periocular region is its availability over a<br />
wide range of acquisition distances even when the iris texture cannot be reliably obtained (low<br />
resolution, off-angle, etc.) or under partial face occlusion (close distances). Most face recognition<br />
systems use a holistic approach, requiring a full face image, so the performance is affected in case of<br />
occlusion. In addition, current commercial iris systems have constrained image acquisition<br />
conditions, prompting the user to position the eye in front of the sensor (normally at ~ 20-40 cm). In<br />
the current context of ubiquitous access to information, with the proliferation of portable devices and<br />
mobility requirements, the relaxation of acquisition constraints is a factor that have great (if not the<br />
greatest) impact in mass acceptance levels of these technologies. Other application fields that are<br />
receiving much attention are forensics and surveillance, where the requirement of controlled<br />
acquisition is simply impossible. These considerations of a more flexible and less intrusive<br />
acquisition are central for the objectives of this project, and therefore periocular work is of high<br />
relevance.<br />
<br />
Work in this direction has consisted in the development of a periocular recognition system based on<br />
retinotopic sampling grids positioned in the pupil center, followed by Gabor decomposition at<br />
different frequencies and orientations. Our system achieves competitive verification rates compared<br />
with existing recognition approaches, based mainly on Local Binary Patterns and Gradient<br />
Orientation histograms. We have also carried out experiments which demonstrate the validity of our<br />
recognition system in less-controlled images. For example, it does not need an accurate detection of<br />
the iris region, but it is enough with having the center of the eye. This makes this system useful in a<br />
wide range of applications where the iris texture cannot be obtained, and provides the way to<br />
integrate it with the detection system of eye regions developed in the previous sub-objective.<br />
<br />
The periocular recognition system is described in publications [3] and [4] [http://wiki.hh.se/caisr/index.php/BIO-DISTANCE#References below]. The following are slides from the conference presentations and the poster presenting publication [4]:<br />

<br />
== Multibiometric Fusion ==<br />
<br />
The periocular system has been also compared with a dedicated iris expert based on a popular public<br />
software which uses 1D log-Gabor filters. The dedicated iris expert works much better than the<br />
proposed periocular approach, something that encourages us to continue the improvement of our<br />
system. The fusion of iris and periocular systems also shows a relative improvement in some of our<br />
experiments. This points out the potential complementarity of the iris texture and the periocular<br />
region, as reported in some other works in the literature. Fusion between the systems is done using<br />
adaptive logistic regression, which has shown superior performance than other fusion rules in<br />
previous research work of the fellow.<br />
<br />
The fusion is evaluated periocular recognition system is described in publication [4] [http://wiki.hh.se/caisr/index.php/BIO-DISTANCE#References below].<br />
<br />
Existing face recognition systems are based on a global model of the face, thus failing if the whole<br />
face is not available. We are also working in the fusion of periocular information with other local<br />
face regions, where the identity model of the person is built from the available regions. This is the<br />
approach being followed in the literature to cope with incomplete faces.<br />

== ICIR2013, the First ICB Competition on Iris Recognition ==<br />
<br />
We have participated with developments of this project in ICIR2013, the First ICB Competition on Iris Recognition.<br />
This competition has been organized by the Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CASIA), in conjunction with the 6th<br />
International Conference on Biometrics (ICB-2013). The objective was to evaluate iris recognition<br />
algorithms on data including motion blur, non-linear deformation, eyeglasses and specular<br />
reflections. We participated with an iris segmentation<br />
stage based on the GST and an iris matching stage based on the fusion of retinotopic sampling grids<br />
and SIFT keypoints. The submission obtained excellent results, ranked in second position out of 13<br />
participating systems.<br />
<br />

='''Introduction'''=<br />
<br />
'''Segmentation is a critical part in iris recognition systems''', since errors in this initial stage are propagated to subsequent processing stages. Therefore, the performance of iris segmentation algorithms is paramount to the performance of the overall system. In order to properly evaluate and develop iris segmentation algorithm, especially under difficult conditions like off-angle and significant occlusions or bad lighting, '''it is beneficial to directly assess the segmentation algorithm'''. Currently, when evaluating the performance of iris segmentation algorithms, this is '''mostly done by utilizing the recognition rate''', and consequently the overall performance of the biometric system. However, the overall recognition performance is not only affected by the segmentation accuracy, but also by the performance of the other subsystems based on possible suboptimal segmentation of the iris. As such it is '''difficult to differentiate between defects in the iris segmentation system and effects which might be introduced later''' in the system (you can read more about this phenomenon in our ICB 2013 publication [http://hh.diva-portal.org/smash/record.jsf?searchId=2&pid=diva2:607425 here], which is summarized in the following figures).<br />

<br />
For these reasons, with the purpose of allowing assessment of iris segmentation algorithms with independence of the whole biometric system, '''we have generated an iris segmentation ground truth database'''. We have segmented '''a total of 12,621 iris images from 7 databases'''. This data is now made publicly available, and can be used to analyse existing and test new iris segmentation algorithms. The iris segmentation database ('''IRISSEG''') contains a mask for each iris image in form of parameters and a method to extract the mask. The database is partitioned into two datasets based on the shapes used for segmenting the iris and eyelid, the '''CC and EP dataset'''. For the CC dataset the parameters define circles which give the iris boundaries and eyelid maskings. For the EP dataset the parameters define ellipses for the iris and polynomials for the eyelid. Note that the eyelid parametrization was done in a way to ensure the best possible separation of iris and eyelids in the iris region, i.e. outside the iris region the parametrization is not necessarily accurate. Eyelashes occlusion is not included in the segmentation data. In addition, only iris segmentation data is provided in the IRISSEG dataset, not the original eye image databases, since they are not owned by us. A link to the actual iris databases is included in each case, please refer to them in order to obtain the original databases.<br />

='''Introduction'''=<br />
<br />
'''Segmentation is a critical part in iris recognition systems''', since errors in this initial stage are propagated to subsequent processing stages. Therefore, the performance of iris segmentation algorithms is paramount to the performance of the overall system. In order to properly evaluate and develop iris segmentation algorithm, especially under difficult conditions like off-angle and significant occlusions or bad lighting, '''it is beneficial to directly assess the segmentation algorithm'''. Currently, when evaluating the performance of iris segmentation algorithms, this is '''mostly done by utilizing the recognition rate''', and consequently the overall performance of the biometric system. However, the overall recognition performance is not only affected by the segmentation accuracy, but also by the performance of the other subsystems based on possible suboptimal segmentation of the iris. As such it is '''difficult to differentiate between defects in the iris segmentation system and effects which might be introduced later''' in the system (you can read more about this phenomenon in our ICB 2013 publication [http://hh.diva-portal.org/smash/record.jsf?searchId=2&pid=diva2:607425 here], which is summarized in the following figures).<br />

=='''Introduction'''==<br />
<br />
'''This page provides a software code for iris segmentation based on the Generalized Structure Tensor (GST)''', based on publications [1] and [2] ([http://wiki.hh.se/caisr/index.php/Iris_Segmentation_Code_Based_on_the_GST#References below] in this page). Its development was made mainly during the 2011-2013 [http://wiki.hh.se/caisr/index.php/BIO-DISTANCE FP7 Marie Curie IEF Action BIO-DISTANCE], but it contains some improvements and add-ons incorporated afterwards. We keep working constantly in this topic, so if you are interested, it is maybe worth checking from time to time if new improvements have been added to the code.<br />
<br />
The software accepts an iris image as input, and outputs segmentation information of the input iris image (see below for more information). It is capable of handling images acquired both in near-infrared (NIR) and visible (VW) spectrum.<br />

'''The GST code consist of the following steps''' (some can be deactivated or customized, please read the documentation included with the code):<br />
<br />
1) <u>Image downsampling</u> for speed purposes. This will not jeopardize accuracy, since the detected iris circles are later fitted to the irregular iris contours, so any loss of resolution in iris circles detection due to downsampling is compensated.<br />
<!-- Esto es un comentario --><br />
<br />
2) <u>Contrast normalization</u> based on imadjust (Matlab function). This increases the image contrast, spreading grey values fully in the 0-255 range.<br />
<!-- Esto es un comentario --><br />
<br />
3) <u>Specular reflection removal</u> based on the method published in [http://wiki.hh.se/caisr/index.php/Iris_Segmentation_Code_Based_on_the_GST#References reference 3].<br />
<!-- Esto es un comentario --><br />
<br />
4) <u>Computation of the image frequency</u> based on the method published in [http://wiki.hh.se/caisr/index.php/Iris_Segmentation_Code_Based_on_the_GST#References reference 2]. This helps to customize inner parameters of steps 5-8 to the input image.<br />
<!-- Esto es un comentario --><br />
<br />
5) <u>Adaptive eyelash removal</u> using the image frequency, as indicated in [http://wiki.hh.se/caisr/index.php/Iris_Segmentation_Code_Based_on_the_GST#References reference 2]. The method is based on p-rank filters as published in [http://wiki.hh.se/caisr/index.php/Iris_Segmentation_Code_Based_on_the_GST#References reference 4]. Eyelashes are removed since they create strong vertical edges that may mislead the filters used for eye center estimation and iris segmentation in steps 7 and 9.<br />

<br /><br />
<br />
6) <u>Adaptive edge map computation</u> using the image frequency, as indicated in [http://wiki.hh.se/caisr/index.php/Iris_Segmentation_Code_Based_on_the_GST#References reference 2]. Edge map is the basis for eye center estimation and iris boundaries detection, see references [1, 2] for further details.<br />
<!-- Esto es un comentario --><br />
<br />
7) <u>Estimation of the eye center</u> based on the method published in [http://wiki.hh.se/caisr/index.php/Iris_Segmentation_Code_Based_on_the_GST#References reference 2] using circular symmetry filters. The estimated center is used to mask candidate regions for the centers of iris circles, helping to improve detection accuracy in step 9.<br />
<!-- Esto es un comentario --><br />
<br />
8) <u>Detection of eyelids</u> based on linear symmetry detection of horizontal edges (unpublished and unoptimized, only return a straight line). The detected eyelids are used to mask candidate regions for the centers of iris circles too, helping to improve detection accuracy in step 9.<br />
<!-- Esto es un comentario --><br />
<br />
9) <u>Detection of iris boundaries</u> based on the method published in [http://wiki.hh.se/caisr/index.php/Iris_Segmentation_Code_Based_on_the_GST#References reference 1] using the Generalized Structure Tensor (GST). In NIR images, the inner (pupil) circle is detected first, while in VW images, the outer (sclera) filter is detected first. This is because in NIR images, pupil-to-iris transition is sharper than iris-to-sclera transition, thus more reliable to detect in the first place. The opposite happens with VW images.<br />
<!-- Esto es un comentario --><br />
<br />
10) <u>Irregular contour fitting</u> based on active contours as published in reference [http://wiki.hh.se/caisr/index.php/Iris_Segmentation_Code_Based_on_the_GST#References reference 5].<br />
<br />
<br /><br />
[[Image:gst_iris_image_segment.png|thumb|none|center|middle|600px|Image segmentation]]<br />
<br /><br />
<br />
'''The code outputs the following information of the input iris image''':<br />
* Segmentation circles of the iris region (inner and outer circle) as well as eyelids (in the form of a straight line)<br />
* Irregular (non-circular) iris boundaries fitted by active contours <br />
* Estimated eye center (computed at the beginning and used to assist in the segmentation)<br />
* Intermediate images after contrast normalization, specular reflection removal, and eyelash removal<br />
* Complex edge map of the input image<br />
* Binary segmentation mask<br />

==Descripción==<br />
<br />
Este curso está basado en el [https://www.hh.se/sitevision/proxy/student/innehall-a-o/kursplan.html/svid12_464ca102168ed1f8d3b1293f/752680950/se_proxy/utb_kursplan.asp?kurskod=DI2009&revisionsnr=3&format=pdf&lang=en curso "Biometric Recognition/Biometrisk Identifiering"] del [https://www.hh.se/utbildning/program/it-forensik-och-informationssakerhet.html programa de grado en IT-Forensics] de la Universidad de Halmstad (Suecia).<br />
<br />
El curso original se imparte en inglés, por lo que el material está en inglés también y esta página mezcla ambos idiomas, dado que voy extrayendo el contenido del curso original. No obstante, las clases se impartirán/grabarán en castellano. Si el inglés supone algún problema, hacédmelo saber a mi o al responsable del curso de la UIB para buscar una solución.<br />
