Eyelash detection model for accurate iris segmentation

 In this paper, we present a novel eyelash detection model based on three criterions: 1) separable eyelash condition, 2) non-informative condition and 3) connective criterion. The first condition handles separable eyelash and the second condition manages multiple eyelashes. The last criterion avoids misclassification of strong iris texture as a single and separable eyelash. A number of images are selected to evaluate the accuracy and necessity of the eyelash detection model. The results are encouraging.
