The Iris Recognition Homepage

- Iris recognition and identification -

Motivation: There is a strong scientific demand for the proliferation of systems, concepts and algorithms for iris recognition and identification. This is mostly because of the comparatively short time that iris recognition systems have been around. In comparison to face, fingerprint and other biometric traits there is still a great need for substantial mathematical and computer-vision research and insight into iris recognition. One evidence for this is the total lack of publicly available adequate datasets of iris images.

Following the tradition of the face recognition homepage and the face detection homepage this page is intended to be an information pool for the iris recognition community. Its goal is to provide an entry point for the starter as well as a centralized information resource to concentrate iris recognition and related scientific efforts.

Definition: Iris recognition is the process of recognizing a person by analyzing the apparent pattern of his or her iris.
