Introduction to the Handbook of Iris Recognition

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Advances in Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition ((ACVPR))

Abstract

Iris recognition is both a technology already in successful use in ambitious nation-scale applications and also a vibrant, active research area with many difficult and exciting problems yet to be solved. This chapter gives a brief introduction to iris recognition and an overview of the chapters in the Second Edition of the Handbook of Iris Recognition.
