Project Overview
The employment of a system to identify and assess people who are impaired with substance abuse is one of the strategies for managing this issue. The most visible sign of substance abuse is the person's eyes, but there are additional health risks as well, including changes in the gums, nails, skin, and general behavior. Most pupils are either dilated or constricted when they're overdosed. The color of a person's iris substantially alters when they are intoxicated. The blood vessels in their eyes dilate when they absorb excessive quantities of alcohol, marijuana, or cocaine. This problem is referred to as bloodshot eyes, which is a typical sign of substance abuse. Despite substantial research into light-induced pupil dilation, little has been done to understand and treat the effects of drug-induced pupil dilatation. This study will focus on iris-based drug recognition like alcohol, marijuana, etc., and their impact on recognition performance is examined. The main objective is to develop a prototype to identify the individual with substance abuse with the aid of iris recognition. Unmasking these features can provide valuable insight into which drugs may be causing adverse reactions. This can help doctors reach a diagnosis more quickly while providing timely and effective treatment.
