3. IRIS Recognition is Fast Developing to be a Fool Proof
And Fast Identification Technique. It is a classic
Biometrics Application that is in an Advanced stage of
Research all Over the world.
INTRODUCTION
IRIS SCANNER TECHNOLOGY

4. The colored ring around the pupil of the eye is called the IRIS
.
The IRIS is a Thin Circular Diaphragm, which lies between
the cornea and the lens of the human eye.
The function of the Iris is to control to the amount of light
entering through the pupil.
The Average Diameter of the Iris is 12 mm ,and the pupil Size
Can Vary from 10% to 80% Of the Iris Diameter.
What is IRIS?
IRIS SCANNER TECHNOLOGY

5.  Unique patterns.
 Stable with age.
 Living Password, Can not be
forgotten or copied.
 Works on blind person.
 User needs not to touch
appliances.
 Accurate , faster , and supports
large data base.
Why IRIS?
IRIS SCANNER TECHNOLOGY

6. The concept of Iris Recognition was first
Proposed by Dr. Frank Burch in 1939.
It was first implemented in 1990 when Dr. John
Daugman created the algorithms for it
These algorithms employ methods of pattern
recognition and some mathematical calculations
for iris recognition.
HISTORY OF IRIS RECOGNITION
IRIS SCANNER TECHNOLOGY

7. Step 1: Capturing the image of the eye using a camera.
Step 2: Differentiating the outline of the iris and the sclera, and the pupil from the
iris.
sclera
iris
pupil
Step 3: Encoding the image using demodulation (also removes reflections, intrusion
of eye lid lashes, contact lens outline etc.,). Code is 256 bytes.

8.  ATMs
 Computer login: The iris as a living password.
 National Border Controls
 Driving licenses and other personal certificates.
 benefits authentication.
 birth certificates, tracking missing.
 Credit-card authentication.
 Anti-terrorism (e.g.:— suspect Screening at airports)
 Secure financial transaction (e-commerce, banking).
 Internet security, control of access to privileged
information.
APPLICATION
IRIS SCANNER TECHNOLOGY

9.  In identifying one’s iris, there are 2 methods for its recognition and are:
Active
Passive
 The active Iris system requires that a user be anywhere from six to
fourteen inches away from the camera.
 The passive system allows the user to be anywhere from one to three feet
away from the camera that locates the focus on the iris.

11. Test of Statistical Independence
Compare the iris codes (256*8=2048 bits) of the eyes using the
following formula.
[Code A (XOR) Code B] AND Mask AAND Mask B
H.D= ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mask AAND Mask B
This is called Hamming Distance (H.D).
Iris pattern - Comparison
IRIS SCANNER TECHNOLOGY

12.  Highly protected, internal organ of the eye
 Externally visible, patterns imaged from a distance
 Iris patterns possess a high degree of randomness
 Patterns apparently stable throughout life
 Encoding and decision-making are tractable
Advantages
IRIS SCANNER TECHNOLOGY

13.  Small target to acquire from a distance
 Moving target…within another…on yet another
 Located behind a curved, wet, reflecting surface
 Obscured by eyelashes, lenses, reflections
 Illumination should not be visible or bright
Disadvantages of the Iris for Identification
IRIS SCANNER TECHNOLOGY

14.  Highly accurate but easy
 Fast
 Needs some developments
 Experiments are going on
 Will become day to day technology very soon
