“…Iris detection using color images has also been proposed [6]; specifically, an image is converted into the YUV color space, thresholds are found from histograms of the color difference ratio U/V for each pixel, and the binarized eye images thus obtained are merged with binarized intensity images. In addition, there is a method using tinted contact lenses [10], but this method puts a strain on the users and may cause discomfort, especially to those who do not wear contact lenses every day. Aiming at high-speed iris detection, a method was proposed to extract face areas and eye areas from images taken by an external camera, and then to identify the iris contours by using the Hough transform [11].…”
