The Algorithm for Iris recognition was developed by Dr. John Daugman, University Of Cambridge. The iris tests have been tested on over 6 million people with no false results. The recognition principle is the failure of a test of statistical independence on iris phase structure encoded by multi-scale quadrature wavelets. This paper explains the iris recognition algorithm that is being used today in various fields.
