Deep Neural Network and Data Augmentation Methodology for off-axis iris segmentation in wearable headsets
A data augmentation methodology is presented and applied to generate a large
dataset of off-axis iris regions and train a low-complexity deep neural
network. Although of low complexity the resulting network achieves a high level
of accuracy in iris region segmentation for challenging off-axis eye-patches.
Interestingly, this network is also shown to achieve high levels of performance
for regular, frontal, segmentation of iris regions, comparing favorably with
state-of-the-art techniques of significantly higher complexity. Due to its
lower complexity, this network is well suited for deployment in embedded
applications such as augmented and mixed reality headsets
