The embodiment of the invention provides an
iris recognition method and terminal, and relates to the technical field of terminals. The method and terminal can improve the accuracy and robustness of
iris recognition. The method comprises the steps: enabling the terminal to carry out the contour detection of an iris region of eyes, determining the rotation angle of the eyes through an angle between the connection line of the pupils of the eyes and the horizontal direction, and obtaining the parabola of an
eyelid based on the rotation angle and the position of an external contour; removing an
eyelid region according to the position of the external contour and the parabola of the
eyelid, carrying out the
eyelash detection and highlight interference detection, so as to remove an
eyelash region and a highlight point and obtain an
iris image; generating a
mask image according to the
iris image, and obtaining an iris unfolded image and a
mask unfolded image; extracting local weight
histogram characteristics according to the iris unfolded image, calculating the exterior product
tensor sequence features, and taking the exterior product
tensor sequence features as the iris texture of the
iris image; carrying out the
feature matching according to the iris pattern obtained through modeling and the
mask unfolded image, so as to determine a matching result. The method is suitable for the
iris recognition.
