COMPUTER SYSTEMS RESEARCH
Projects of Mr. Latimer at GMU 1999-2000

Computer vision and image processing: Template matching project to find the location of irises in the eyes of subjects in an image. The irises were assumed to be circular in shape. Irises were located using thresholding, edge detection, and template matching (of a circular pattern)
