Abstract

Recognition for authentication using biometric features is an intricate pattern-recognizing technique. The process is extremely hard to design and build, and choosing the exact algorithms competent to fetch and extract significant features and then match them correctly, particularly in cases where the quality of the captured images is poor or low-quality image capturing devices with very small capturing areas are used. It is a false assumption that biometric recognition is a completely settled area regarding the authentication of a person just because it always gives the correct identity of an individual. Iris identification remains a very complex and intricate pattern recognition system for authenticating a person. This paper focuses on the different techniques used for authentication.
