An Evaluation Of Iris Detection Methods For Real-Time Video Processing With Low-Cost Equipment

The purpose of this work is to accomplish a study aiming the construction of an eye tracking and iris detection system, based on images obtained from a low-cost webcam. The main objective of the paper is to conduct a comparison between three computer vision approaches for iris detection, trying to identify the more suitable method for application in the aforementioned low-cost eye tracking system. The methods which have achieved the best detection rates were the Projection and Thresholding, however, all of them offer possibilities for application in real-time processing and improvement.
