It is possible to identify an individual based on “who they are rather than what they possess or what they remember" by using biometric features like Thumb print, face, chin etc because to remember password or to take care of cards are difficult task. From all Biometrics security organs Iris is one of the most carefully protected organs in one’s body. It is not affected by aging; the feature of the iris remains fixed and stable from one year of age until death. Biometric-based solutions are able to provide for confidential financial transactions and personal data privacy there has been a lot of work carried out on face recognition using the PCA. Here I have tried to use the same concepts in detecting Irises. Here to implement iris recognition but here I have implemented iris detection from eye and recognition using PCA algorithm.
