Abstract

Abstract

In order to quickly, accurately and automatically locate a pupil in ophthalmic disease detection, a location algorithm for a pupil’s center based on radial symmetry transformation was proposed. Firstly, the gray integral projection method combined with the maximum class square error method was used to complete the rough segmentation of human eye image, and a Region Of Interest (ROI) solely containing the pupil was extracted according to multi-lump screening conditions. Then the search radius range was set by using a minimum circumscribed rectangle on the ROI combined with gray-level morphological linear filtering. Finally, the pupil center was located using an improved radial symmetry transformation algorithm. The experimental results show that the location error of this algorithm is less than 8 pixels and the average processing time is 0.366 s. It can adapt to a large number of irrational states such as noise interference and an incomplete collection of human eye images and meets the pupil location performance requirements for many kinds of infrared ophthalmology disease detection equipment.
