Abstract. This paper describes a prototype system for personnel verification based on automated iris recognition. The motivation for this endevour stems from the observation that the human iris provides a particularly interesting structure on which to base a technology for noninvasive biometric measurement. In particular, it is known in the biomedical community that irises are as distinct as fingerprints or patterns of retinal blood vessels. Further, since the iris is an overt body, ist appearance is amenable to remote examination with the aid of a machine-vision system. The body of this paper details the design and operation of such a system. Also presented are the results of an empirical study in which the system exhibits flawless performance in the evaluation of 520 iris images.
