segmentiris.m

code for iris recognition

% segmentiris - peforms automatic segmentation of the iris region
% from an eye image. Also isolates noise areas such as occluding
% eyelids and eyelashes.
%
% Usage: 
% [circleiris, circlepupil, imagewithnoise] = segmentiris(image)
%
% Arguments:
%	eyeimage		- the input eye image
%	
% Output:
%	circleiris	    - centre coordinates and radius
%			          of the detected iris boundary
%	circlepupil	    - centre coordinates and radius
%			          of the detected pupil boundary
%	imagewithnoise	- original eye image, but with
%			          location of noise marked with
%			          NaN values
