Ocular detection for biometric recognition

Ocular biometric has created vital progress over past decade among the all biometric trains. The white region of eye is sclera, which is exposed. The sclera is roofed by the thin clear wet layer referred as conjunctiva. Conjunctiva and episclera contains the blood vessels. Our aim is to segment the sclera patterns from the eye footage. This paper focuses on the detection of ocular region from the eye image, enhancement of blood vessels and feature extraction. The features extracted from ocular regions are used for biometric recognition.
