Influence of Eye Diseases on the Retina Pattern Recognition

Part 3: Biometrics and Biometrics Applications; International audience; In this paper an algorithm to extract the retina characteristic points for a human eye with diseases is presented. The background of both medical and computer science matters is given. The cataract is described and discussed as a newly considered eye disease for retina pattern recognition. The processing of the retina with this disease is introduced for comparison with previous works. The structure of the applied method is illustrated in detail with examples. The procedure of minutiae extraction from the processed sick retina is given.
