Iris recognition is an important application in the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security. An algorithm that is both accurate and fast in a hardware design that is small and transportable are crucial to the implementation of this tool. As part of an ongoing effort to meet these criteria, this paper improves a segment of the US Naval Academy's RED iris recognition algorithm, namely pupil isolation. We show a significant speed-up of pupil isolation by implementing this
