Iris recognition technologies for identity management are already
deployed globally in several large-scale nationwide biometric projects
and are currently entering the mobile market. More recently, periocular
recognition has been employed to augment the biometric performance of
the iris in unconstrained environments where only the ocular region is
present in the image.
Iris and Periocular Biometric Recognition provides an overview of
scientific fundamentals and principles of iris and periocular biometric
recognition over six broad areas: an introduction to iris and periocular
recognition; a selective overview of issues and challenges; soft
biometric classification; security aspects; privacy protection and
forensics; and future trends. With contributions from experts in
industry and academia, this book is essential reading for researchers,
graduate students and practitioners in biometrics and related fields.
