A Brief Survey on Recent Progress in Iris Recognition.

Great progress of iris recognition has been achieved in recent years driven by its wide applications in the world. This survey summaries the progress in iris image acquisition, segmentation, texture analysis, classification and cross-sensor recognition from 2008 to 2014. The core ideas of various methods and their intrinsic relationships are investigated to obtain an overview and insights in the development of iris recognition. The future research work to improve the usability, reliability and scalability of iris recognition systems is also suggested.
