A review of iris recognition algorithms

Iris recognition has become a popular research in recent years. Due to its reliability and nearly perfect recognition rates, iris recognition is used in high security areas. Among its applications are border control in airports and harbors, access control in laboratories and factories, identification for Automatic Teller Machines (ATMs) and restricted access to police evidence rooms. This paper provides a review of major iris recognition researches. There are three main stages in iris recognition system: image preprocessing, feature extraction and template matching. A literature review of the most prominent algorithms implemented in each stage is presented.
