Abstract

Estimating a blur kernel distribution for visual iris recognition includes determining a first mathematical relationship between an in-focus position of a camera lens and a distance between the lens and an iris whose image is to be captured by the lens. A second mathematical relationship between the in-focus position of the lens and a standard deviation defining a Gaussian blur kernel distribution is estimated. The first mathematical relationship is used to ascertain a desired focus position of the lens based upon the actual position of the living being's eye at the point in time. The second mathematical relationship is used to calculate a standard deviation defining a Gaussian blur kernel distribution. The produced image is digitally unblurred by using the blur kernel distribution defined by the calculated standard deviation.
