Iris recognition is a biometric technology that identifies individuals based on the unique patterns in their iris, the colored part of the eye. Each person's iris has distinct features, making it an effective method for authentication. This technology captures a high-resolution image of the iris and analyzes its patterns to create a unique template for comparison. The process of iris recognition is quick and non-invasive, often requiring only a camera or scanner. It is widely used in security systems, such as smartphones, airports, and government facilities, due to its accuracy and reliability in verifying identities.
