THE EYES HAVE IT

Iris ID - Iris Recognition Technology
Since 1997, Iris ID has been the key developer and driver of the commercialization of iris recognition technology. IrisAccess, now in a third generation, is the world's leading deployed iris recognition platform, identifying more people in more places than all other iris recognition products combined.

Iris recognition facts
Almost all publicly operational iris recognition systems worldwide today deploy, as licensed executables, the algorithms described on this website.
Worldwide some 60 million persons, of some 170 nationalities, have been enrolled by these algorithms for automatic recognition by iris patterns. I hope you find both this overview and the more detailed scientific and mathematical pages on this website interesting.
Major applications include: Children's Identification and Location Databases (CHILD); school and hospital settings including mother-infant pairing in maternity wards; prisoner booking and release; detainee identification and suspect tracking in Iraq and Afghanistan; and "watch list" screening at border crossings. In several countries it is being considered for biometric Identity Cards.
The Daugman algorithms for iris recognition are owned today by L1 Identity Solutions and licensed through its subsidiary Securimetrics.
L1 Identity Solutions' slogan is: "Protecting and Securing Personal Identities and Assets"
