Structure of the Eye

What is the Retina?

A very thin layer of tissue on the back of the eye (1/50

thick) Has rods and cones to sense light and colour Transmits impulses through the optic nerve Multiple layers of cells comprise the retina Retina = CCD + DSP all in one

Rods & Cones

Principle
Identifies individuals by retinal blood vessel pattern Unique for each individual (including twins)

Patterns do not change over an individuals lifetime

Exceptions include diabetes and macular degenerative

diseases

Technique
Subject looks into a focussing camera at close range (~ inch) for several seconds Low power IR (~7mW) is directed into the pupil Resulting picture is captured by the camera May require several such images to get a good template Image processing filters out relevant feature points Pattern is matched against stored templates

System specifications
Enrollment time : less than 1 minute ; Stand alone verification time : 1.5 seconds ; Stand alone recognition time. : less than 5 seconds with 1500 persons enrolled ; Storage capacity : 3000 individuals in flash RAM memory Template size : 96 bytes Cost : $2000-$2500

Retinal Technologies

System specifications
Handheld device
Variable capture distances ? upto 3 feet? Uses aspheric lens array to get this range Laser opthalmoscope captures retinal image Template size : 50 bytes Estimated cost: ~ $200

Extracting Intensity Profile

Performing Scan

Locating Blood Vessels

Generating Circular Bar Code

To brain

Rods sense brightness

Cones sense color

The retina, in the back of your eye, has cells that are sensitive to light. They connect directly to your brain.

Eye Reader

Applications
Security in Military areas Access-control Screening Tracking livestock across regions

(disease-spread prevention)

Conclusion
It is very easy technique It performs the all internal operation of the eye It locates the blood vessel It is used in various types of Technologies
