IRIS Recognition System |

 |

Iris recognition
is the best of breed authentication
process available today. While many mistake it for retinal
scanning, iris recognition simply involves taking a picture
of the iris; this picture is used solely for authentication.
But what makes iris recognition the authentication system of
choice? |
|
|
|
|
|
How It Works? |
|
The
LG IrisAccess® 3000
employs iris recognition technology to provide accurate
identity authentication without PIN numbers, passwords or
cards. Enrollment takes less than 2 minutes. Authentication
takes less than 2 seconds.
Video-based
technology makes it easy to enroll, producing a template
that in most cases is good for the life of the subject. |

IRIS Enrollment |
|
|
|
Although the
terminology "iris-scanning" is often used when referring to
iris recognition technology, there is no scanning involved
at all. Iris technology is based on pattern recognition and
the pattern-capturing methodology is based on video camera
technology similar to that found in camcorders commonplace
in consumer electronics. Like these cameras, the image
capture process does not require bright illumination or
close-up imaging. |
|
|
 |
With a device
activated by proximity sensor, a subject positioned 3"
to 10" from the Enrollment Optional Unit is guided by a
mirrored, audio-assisted interactive interface to allow
an auto-focus camera to take a digital video of the
iris. |
|
|
Individual
images from the live video are captured using a frame
grabber. The innovative algorithm of the iris
recognition process analyzes the patterns in the iris
that are visible between the pupil and sclera (white of
the eye) and converts them into a 512-byte digital
template. This value is stored in a database and
communicated to Identification Control Units associated
with portals where the subject has access privileges. |
|
|
|
|
Recognition takes just 2 seconds. |
|
|
Upon
approaching a portal protected by IrisAccess, proximity
sensors activate the Remote Optical Unit (ROU) when the
subject nears the operational range of the unit. The
same mirror-assisted, audio-prompted interface that the
subject became familiar with at enrollment helps ensure
proper positioning and speedy recognition. The ROU uses
the same video and frame-grabbing methodology to create,
select and digitize an image to be compared against the
stored value retained at enrollment.
|
|
|
The live
presented value is compared against stored values at the
well-secured Identification Control Unit assigned to the
portal. Once the iris is matched, either a direct signal
is sent to activate a door, or a Weigand signal sent to
a central access panel provides the impetus to open the
door to an individual authorized to enter |

IRIS Main Features |
| |
Stable |
|
| |
the unique pattern in the human iris is formed
by 10 months of age, and remains unchanged
throughout one's lifetime |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Unique |
|
| |
the probability of two rises producing the same
code is nearly impossible |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Flexible |
|
| |
iris recognition technology easily integrates
into existing security systems or operates as a
standalone |
|
|
|
|
| |
Reliable |
|
| |
a distinctive iris pattern is not susceptible to
theft, loss or compromise |
|
|
|
|
| |
Non-Invasive |
|
| |
unlike retinal screening, iris recognition is
non-contact and quick, offering unmatched
accuracy when compared to any other security
alternative, from distances as far as 3" to 10" |
