Abstract
A new algorithm on retinal characteristics extraction is introduced in this paper. The important thing about its novelty is that it considers and treats eyes with anomalies. The background of both medical and computer science matters is given. The algorithm aims at giving a clear evidence whether the retina should be considered as a biometric feature in human recognition for people with sick eyes. The structure of the worked out algorithm is illustrated in detail. Examples of how the minutiae are extracted from the processed retina are presented. The algorithm details together with its different stages, and their computer implementation will be given in the extended version of the work.
