Abstract
For fast iris recognition, it is very important to capture user’s focused eye image at fast speed. In previous researches and systems, they use the focusing method which has been used for general landscape scene without considering the characteristics of iris image. So, they take much focusing time, especially in case of the user with glasses. To overcome such problems, we propose a new iris image acquisition method to capture user’s focused eye image at very fast speed based on the corneal specular reflection. Experimental results show that the focusing time for both the users with glasses and without glasses is average 480 ms and we can conclude our method can be used for the real-time iris recognition camera.
