Biometrics And Iris Scanning

Presented By, Megha.Unni

WHAT IS BIOMETRICS? BIOMETRICS can be defined as-The process of identifying and verifying people based upon their unique biological and unique behavioral features.

Iris Scanning
An iris recognition system uses a video camera to capture the sample while the software compares the resulting data against stored templates.

How Iris Recognition Works?

1. Capture The iris image. 2. Analyzes the iris patterns 3. Creates a 512 byte IrisCode template to describe the patterns 4. Matches the code to all IrisCodes in a database/file 5. Accepts or rejects individual

Advantages and Disadvantages

Advantages Highly protected, internal organ of the eye visible; patterns imaged from a distance Pre-natal morphogenesis (7th month of gestation) Changing pupil size confirms natural physiology DisAdvantages Small target (1 cm) to acquire from a distance 1 meter Located behind a curved, wet, reflecting surface Deforms non-elastically as pupil changes size Partially occluded by eyelids, often drooping
