IriTech, a leading iris based identity management technology solutions company has developed a new technology to effectively capture and process iris images under direct sunlight of over 100,000 lux – a move it claimed will boost iris recognition technology’s convergence with the various industries such as the mobile device, wearables and automobile.
Until now, one of the biggest impediment for the iris recognition industry to take the technology mainstream was capturing a clean iris image under direct sunlight as the visible light signals are too strong for iris cameras to capture the iris pattern within an IR region created by a LED light source that it would create reflections in the eye. Conventional solutions required bulky or expensive add-ons or components to eliminate the reflections that make obtaining a clean iris image difficult.
