IRIS DEBLURRING METHOD BASED ON GLOBAL AND LOCAL IRIS IMAGE STATISTICS

摘要

A method of identifying a living being includes using a camera to capture a blurred visual image of an iris of the living being. The blurred visual image is digitally unblurred based on a distribution of eye image gradients in an empirically-collected sample of eye images and characteristics of pupil region. The unblurred image is processed to determine an identity of the living being.
