20080292144 | Iris Identification System and Method Using Mobile Device with Stereo Camera - The present invention relates to a face recognition and/or iris recognition system and method using a mobile device equipped with a stereo camera, which acquire a stereo image of a user's face using at least two cameras or a method corresponding thereto and, even when the size of the stereo image is varied according to distance, correct the size of the stereo image. The stereo camera uses a single-focus lens with a long depth of focus to acquire a focused iris image over a wider range. When the user is not located at a position suitable for iris recognition, a message is sent to the user such that an iris image suitable for recognition is acquired. Furthermore, an iris image correction process according to distance is performed to prevent recognition rate from decreasing even when the size of the iris image is changed. | 11-27-2008 |
20090041309 | System And Method For Iris Identification Using Stereoscopic Face Recognition - 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. | 02-12-2009 |
20100182456 | IRIS IMAGE STORING METHOD AND AN IRIS IMAGE RESTORED METHOD - The present invention relates to a method of storing and restoring an iris image, the method comprising the steps of: acquiring an original image I | 07-22-2010 |
20110194738 | METHOD FOR ACQUIRING REGION-OF-INTEREST AND/OR COGNITIVE INFORMATION FROM EYE IMAGE - 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. The transferred information is utilized in the preprocessing of the eye image. | 08-11-2011 |
20130063582 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR IRIS RECOGNITION USING A PLURALITY OF IRIS IMAGES HAVING DIFFERENT IRIS SIZES - 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. | 03-14-2013 |
20130194407 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR IRIS RECOGNITION USING MULTIPLE IRIS TEMPLATES - The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for iris recognition using multiple iris templates registered for each individual. The method include acquiring at least one or two eye images of a person to be registered; generating an iris template group for registration from the at least one or two eye images, and storing and registering the iris template group in a database; photographing an eye of the person using a camera placed on a front side of an iris recognition apparatus multiple times to acquire multiple images for authentication; generating an iris template group for authentication comprising multiple iris templates from the multiple eye images; comparing the iris template group for authentication with the registered iris template group for each registered person stored in the database; and performing authentication or identification using the comparison result. | 08-01-2013 |
20140250517 | AUTHENTICATION METHOD AND DEVICE USING A SINGLE-USE PASSWORD INCLUDING BIOMETRIC IMAGE INFORMATION - 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. | 09-04-2014 |
20150040212 | LOCKING APPARATUS WITH ENHANCED SECURITY USING IRIS IMAGE - The present invention relates to a locking apparatus with enhanced security using an iris image, wherein, if a terminal including a short-range wireless communication means and camera accesses the locking apparatus, the locking apparatus: transmits, a token comprising at least one of identification number and/or random number of the locking apparatus from a token generator mounted on the locking apparatus, to the terminal; requests an iris image be photographed and transmitted within a preset time period; generates an iris template from the iris image photographed by a camera fixed on the user terminal; encrypts and transmits the generated iris template and the token from the terminal to the locking apparatus using short-range wireless communication; and performs at least one of access permission (lock release), access denial (a maintenance of a locked state), a request for re-photographing, and an emergency alarm by decrypting the received encrypted iris template and token using a decoder mounted on the locking apparatus, and comparing the similarity thereof with an iris template registered and stored in a database in advance. | 02-05-2015 |
