Abstract: The present invention relates to an authentication method and device using a single-use password generated from iris image information. The device comprises: a terminal and a server storing, in respective memories thereof, the iris image information for authentication; a camera attached to and installed on the device to capture the iris image information for authentication; the terminal, which generates the single-use password from the iris image information acquired through the camera, and transmits the single-use password to the server; and the server, which has a built-in algorithm for comparing and determining whether or not the single-use password transmitted from the terminal matches single-use password stored in the server.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for identifying a living eye, in which IR LED lighting and lighting for varying the ambient illumination are installed on the front surface or one side of an iris recognition camera so as to determine whether an iris of an eye is an iris of a living eye when capturing an iris image by the iris recognition camera, using one or more criteria of whether the ratio of the sizes of the iris and pupil changes by the variation of the ambient illumination, whether the number or location of the IR LEDs focused on the iris and/or the pupil changes, whether the region of the iris image changes by eye blinking, and whether the direction of the gaze changes.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a hand-attachable wearable device capable of iris identification outdoors and/or indoors, which includes an electronic component case and a band covering a wrist or a finger, and particularly, to a hand-attachable wearable device capable of iris identification outdoors and/or indoors, which includes an indoor and outdoor-combined photographing unit or an indoor and outdoor-separated photographing unit installed at one side of the case, which is used for photographing an iris image in which reflection noise is reduced indoors and outdoors, an infrared lighting installed at one side of the case and required for photographing the iris image clearly, and an iris recognition unit performing the iris recognition by comparing registered and stored iris image information and photographed iris image information.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an iris recognition device and method capable of improving iris recognition accuracy. To enhance iris recognition accuracy in consideration of variation in pupil size and iris region due to changes in intensity of lighting, the iris recognition device and method are configured to obtain multiple iris images having different iris sizes by capturing iris images of a person to be enrolled with a camera while adjusting brightness of lighting so that the iris size of the person to be enrolled varies from a maximum size to a minimum size, store the obtained iris images and associated iris size information for enrollment in a database interworking with the iris recognition device, and select enrolled iris images having an iris size most similar to that of an iris image captured by the camera for identification among many enrolled iris images for similarity measurement.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for acquiring region-of-interest and/or cognitive information from an eye image, comprising the steps of: preprocessing, standardizing, and coding the group of eye images for region-of-interest information or cognitive information to create eye image codes and to build a characteristic eye library in a memory in order to improve an iris recognition rate; grouping and partitioning or covering eye codes for eye images stored in the characteristic eye library into a plurality of groups, and obtaining a representative eye code of each of the eye code groups, preprocessing, standardizing, and coding a new eye image not assigned region-of-interest information or cognitive information in the same way as the above-described step to create a test eye code, matching the test eye image to the most similar eye image in the characteristic eye library, and transferring the region-of-interest information or cognitive information assigned to the matched eye image to the test eye image.

Abstract: An iris identification method and system, which divide an iris image, which is acquired for personal identification, into a plurality of equal/unequal and multiscale regions, generate a corresponding code corresponding to the respective regions, organizing codes into a database, generate a code at the time of authentication in the same manner, and identify a person by comparing this code with the codes stored in the database, thus improving identification speed and rate.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system and method for iris recognition including stereoscopic face recognition, which can recognize irises using a stereoscopic face recognition system in order to recognize an authenticatee. The system includes two or more face recognition cameras for photographing two or more face images of an authenticatee; a recognition system for receiving the face images photographed by the face recognition cameras from the face recognition cameras and creating stereoscopic face information on the basis of the face images; and one or more iris recognition cameras controlled by the recognition system to photograph focused irises of the authenticatee using the created stereoscopic face information.

Abstract: An iris identification system and method of identifying the identity of an animate being through iris scanning are disclosed. The system features an iris system pick-up unit including a camera for capturing iris images to create input image signals. The iris image pick-up unit is operated with a control unit that is interfaced with a data processing unit for preprocessing the input image signals into processed data. The processed data is representative of one of a plurality of parameters for iris identification selected from the group consisting of (1) the density and texture form of the iris fiber structure using a frequency transformation method, (2) pupilliary reaction, (3) the shape of the pupil, (4) autonomous nervous wreath reaction, (5) shape of the autonomous nervous wreath, (6) the existence of lacuna, (7) the location of the lacuna, and (8) the shape of the lacuna.
