A METHOD FOR RECONSTRUCTING IRIS SCANS THROUGH NOVEL INPAINTING TECHNIQUES AND MOSAICING OF PARTIAL COLLECTIONS

摘要

A method and system for reconstructing iris scans for iris recognition is provided. A plurality of iris collection images of an iris is received. A single iris image of the iris is reconstructed using at least two of the plurality of iris collection images. Mosaicing may be used to combine at least two of the plurality of iris collection images into a single iris image. Inpainting methods, including PDE-based and exemplar-based techniques, may also be used to fill in area of missing information in an iris image.
