  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Handbook of Iris Recognition

Part of the book series: Advances in Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition ((ACVPR))

Abstract

Iris biometrics is both a technology already in use in ambitious nation-scale applications and an active research area with many exciting unsolved problems. This chapter gives brief introduction to the area and an overview of the contents of the rest of the book.
