Popis: CNN-based iris segmentations have been proven to be superior to traditional iris segmentation techniques in terms of segmentation error metrics. To properly utilize them in a traditional biometric recognition systems requires a parameterization of the iris, based on the generated segmentation, to obtain the normalised iris texture typically used for feature extraction. This is an unsolved problem. We will introduce a method to parameterize CNN based segmentation, bridging the gap between CNN based segmentation and the rubbersheet-transform. The parameterization enables the CNN segmentation as full segmentation step in any regular iris biometric system, or alternatively the segmentation can be utilized as a noise mask for other segmentation methods. Both of these options will be evaluated.
