Iris recognition is one of the most accurate forms of biometric identifi- cation. However, current commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) systems generally impose significant constraints on the subject. This chapter discusses techniques for iris image capture that reduce those constraints, in particular enabling iris image capture from moving subjects and at greater distances than have been available in the COTS systems. The chapter also includes background information that enables the reader to put these innovations into context.
