Contemporary technologies and techniques for processing of human eye images

Abstract

Imaging technologies and techniques of the human eye are used for both biometric and medical-diagnostic applications. Among various types of the eye images the following can be distinguished: iris images, fundus images, and various optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans. Contemporary processing approaches to all of these image types are reviewed and analyzed together with a discussion of their applications. Advanced image processing methods and algorithms, including the artificial intelligence approach, developed at the Division of Signal Processing and Electronic Systems of the Pozna� University of Technology for the considered applications, are presented. The proposed solutions are characterized by a good effectiveness and accuracy in the support of appropriate biometric and clinical decisions.
