Abstract
In the paper we present the employment of the direction field for contour detection and the segmentation of cylindrical objects, especially an eye iris. We propose a method of calculating the direction field for this kind of objects and present the obtained results. An analysis of the possibility of extending this approach on objects of different kinds is also included.
