Cholesterol, Modified Daugman method, Iridology, Iris segmentation, Iris enhancement, Iris normalization, Iris, heart disease.Abstract
The presence of cholesterol in the iris can be detected in the cornea area which is a whitish ring-shape. It is a sign of hyperlipidemia and is also correlated with coronary heart disease (CHD). Iridology is an alternative method to detect the presence of cholesterol in the iris. We proposed a novel method of detecting the presence of cholesterol using image processing techniques. In this method, the iris is segmented from the eye, enhancing of iris, then normalization of the iris, and then cholesterol detection using the Modified Daugman method was implemented. This method involves 3 stages of cholesterol detection. The result showed an impressive result in the detection of the presence of cholesterol when applying the iris code of different bits.
