Google has released a new solution for real-time iris tracking and depth estimation on mobile devices using machine learning. The machine learning model – MediaPipe Iris, is designed for accurate iris estimation. The company further explains that due to the limited computing capacity on mobile devices and other factors, including variable light conditions and people squinting, iris tracking can be challenging. The eye region is then isolated for use in the MediaPipe Iris model. Left: MediaPipe Iris predicting metric distance in cm, from iris tracking alone, without the use of a depth sensor.
