Iridodiagnostics, using the information, encoded in human iris, gives an integrated picture of human health, mirroring even preclinic states, genetic peculiarities and predispositions. To decode this information, TV image processing is used for automatic measurement of several diagnostic features, such as pupil ellipticity, pupil flattening, indenteness of the autonomous ring, its minima and maxima parameters, etc. An instrument setup is described for acquiring and processing TV image of an iris. In one of the variants, color image is produced with a black-and-white TV camera due to sequential R-, G-, and B-frames resulting from alternating color pulse illumination. For the sake of classification, sequential methodology was modified, performing multiple tests over the same data and permitting an adaptation in the process of learning.
