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.</p> <p>Following the tradition of the <a href="http://www.cs.rug.nl/~peterkr/FACE/face.html">face recognition homepage</a> and the <a href="http://home.t-online.de/home/Robert.Frischholz/face.htm">face detection homepage</a> 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.</p> <p><b>Definition</b>: Iris recognition is the process of recognizing a person by analyzing the apparent pattern of his or her iris. </p> <p> </p> <p><b>This page uses frames, but your browser doesn't support them.
