Abstract
One of the most accurate techniques for human identification is based on the uniqueness of the retinal blood vessels pattern. In this paper, we present a new approach for human identification using retina image. This approach is insensitive to rotation, scaling and translation. The Fourier-Mellin transform coefficients and moments of the retinal image were used to extract the suitable features. To compensate the rotational effects caused by different relative positions of the retina scanner with respect to the eye, a rotation compensator was designed. For retinal image interpretation, the optic disc location was considered as a fixed and reference point. For its localization, the Haar wavelet and the Snakes model were used. The experimental results demonstrated an error rate close to zero for the proposed method.
