 Introduction to IRIS Recognition

 A biometric system refers to automatic recognition

of an individual based on their physiological and
behavioral characteristics.
 The IRIS is the part of the eye that is colored.
 It is responsible for controlling the amount of
light entering the eye.
 IRIS is a form of biometric technology in the
same category as face recognition and
fingerprinting.
 Iris recognition is an automated method of
biometric identification.
 Introduction to IRIS cont’d …

 Iris recognition is exceptional in this regard, enabling the

avoidance of "collisions" (False Matches) even in cross-
comparisons across massive populations.
 They also state that iris scans are quicker and more reliable
than fingerprint scans since.
 It is easier for an individual to obscure or alter their fingers
than it is to alter their eyes.
 How IRIS recognition Works

 Image Acquisition deals with capturing of a high quality image of the iris.
 Iris localization is a process to isolate the iris region from the rest of the
acquired image.
 Threat Posed by Iris Recognition
 The biggest threat of iris scanning is the danger of a national database that
can track people covertly, at a distance, or in motion, without their
knowledge or consent.

 The list of the threats are:

 User/Capture threat

 Template storage threat

 Comparison threat during verification

 Portal Threat

 Threat to all Hardware and Software Components

 Threat to all Connections(including Network threat)

 Features of Iris Recognition

 Highly accurate and fast

 Remains unchanged throughout life.

 Possible to distinguish twins

 As long as the eyes are exposed, iris recognition can be used even when the
subject is wearing a hat, mask, eyeglasses, or gloves.

 Because of using an infrared camera, recognition is available even at night

or in the dark.
Current trends & focus of IRIS recognition
 Currently the technology is used in:
 Airports
 Government agencies
 Prisons
 Research laboratories

 For the feature uses:

 Healthcare industry
 Sales transaction
 Emigration services
 The advantages of IRIS recognition

 The following are some of the core advantages of iris

recognition:
 This technology is highly scalable and can be used in both large
and small-scale programs

 It ensures a higher rate of accuracy in its results.

 It is like taking a normal photo

 Iris patterns remain stable throughout an individual’s life

 It is easy to use the technology

 The disadvantages of IRIS recognition

 The following are some of the core disadvantages of iris

recognition
 Iris scanners are relatively higher in cost compared to other
biometric modalities.

 Iris is small in size and can’t be located from a few meters distance

 It is hard to perform an iris scanning due to the presence of

reflections.

 A lot of memory is required for the data to be stored and later

accessed.
