摘要:
A reliable method and apparatus for illuminating and imaging eyes uses multiple light sources producing multiple images of a subject each created under illumination by different illuminators. A composite image of the subject is formed by selecting pixels based upon their gray scale values or using pyramid image processing. A composite image can be created which is free of bright spots commonly caused by reflection of illumination from eyeglasses that may be worn by a subject or for which is free of dark shadows or which is free of both bright spots and dark shadows.

At least one wide field of view camera (3) and with an associated illuminator (6, 10) obtains sufficient images of a person to be identified so that x, y, z coordinates can be established for the expected position of that person's eye. The coordinates are used to direct a narrow field of view camera (16) and associated illuminators (21-23) to take an image of the eye (76, 78) that can be used for to identifying the person using iris verification and recognition algorithms. These illuminators are positioned and illuminated to eliminate or minimize specularities and reflections that obscure the iris (76).
摘要:
A reliable method of illuminating and imaging an eye through eyeglasses uses a carefully selected subset of multiple monochromatic light sources, a camera with an imager that exhibits minimal blooming, and a narrow-bandwidth optical bandpass filter to filter out most of the ambient illumination while passing most of the light from the system's own illuminator.
