Abstract

Iridology is an art of knowledge to detect a specific disease of human body from the iris. The detection will tell each individual organ when it has low or high performance (abnormal). The iris reveals conditions change of every part of the body. Every organ and part of the body are represented in the iris in a well-defined area. The objective of research is to develop an iris database of colon disorder based on the map of iridology. This map is represented as a diagnosis tool to detect the common colon disorder. In developing the database, Sixty (60) subjects were enrolled in the study where 35 subjects had histologically proven problem in colon disorder, and 25 were control subject. To extract the iris, the image processing methods such Hough transform, segmentation and normalization were applied in this research. The conclusion of this paper is the proposed an iris database for helping medical doctor in detecting colon disorder using image processing.
