A Survey on Iris Recognition
Lenina Vithalrao Birgale, Manesh Kokare · SSRN Electronic Journal · 2009
As the demand for security systems is increasing exponentially day by day, there has been a rigorous search for different verification and identification techniques. Facial features, voice patterns, hand geometry, retinal patterns, vein patterns, signature dynamics, voice verification, facial thermography, DNA matching, nailbed identification, gait recognition, ear shape recognition and finger prints have all been explored as biometric identifiers with varying levels of success. However, they have their own shortcomings. But iris has unique patterns; no two iris patterns are alike. After a rigorous review of hundreds of papers on iris recognition systems we present this review paper.
