What is Iris Recognition Technology?

The Child Project™ - FAQ
Iris recognition biometric technology positively determines the identity of an individual by capturing a high resolution digital photograph of the individual's iris. The technology is based on the most mathematically unique biometric -- even between twins or an individual's right and left eyes -- the iris of the eye. The technology is non-intrusive - the individual does not need to touch anything to use the system.

How accurate is iris recognition?

The Child Project™ - FAQ
Iris recognition is proven to have the highest biometric accuracy, with no false matches in over two million cross-comparisons, according to Biometric Product Testing Final Report March 2001, Center for Mathematics and Scientific Computing, National Physics Laboratory, U.K.). The human iris is absolutely unique, even between twins or an individual's right and left eyes. The iris itself is stable throughout a person's life (approximately from the age of one).

How does iris recognition technology compare to electronic finger print technology?

The Child Project™ - FAQ
The system has both advantages and disadvantages to electronic fingerprint systems, such as Live Scan. Here are some of the advantages: the iris biometric is about 12 times more unique --- from a science and statistical perspective -- than fingerprint biometrics. There is no need to touch anything (as with fingerprint) to capture the biometric data. A participant simply looks at a digital camera from about 10" to 15" inches and it takes a digital photo of their iris. See similar questions...

Who will use the iris recognition database and when will it be running?

The Child Project™ - FAQ

How does the Iris Reflex work?

Iridology FAQ
Each part of the whole body contains information on all parts of the body. This is true for all forms of life, at the level of genetic encoding for metabolic processes, cellular respiration, and tissue generation. For example cutting off some trimmings from a Geranium bush and sticking the branches into the ground triggers a differentiation process, changing the cut end into a root system and produces a new Geranium bushes.

What happens if the iris recognition fails?

SAPHIRE :: A Privileged Way to Travel
There could be a number of reasons why the iris scan does not go smoothly. Make sure that you keep a distance of 10 to 15 cm between your eye and the iris scanner, and that you can focus only one eye into the scanner. If you notice that you have a lot of problems with one of your eyes, try using the other eye. Keep only one of your eye focus into the iris scanner and continue to stand still until the computer indicates 'identification is completed'. See similar questions...

Question: How does the fountain at the Glen Iris work?

FAQ's on Letchworth History
The fountain has always been fed by gravity from the time that Mr. Letchworth had it installed. The difference now is that the pond he had created was abandoned because it often went dry. The source now is the Trout Pond that is also the source of water to the hydrants in that are for fire protection. So gravity still prevails - just from a different pond. The fountain was probably part of the landscaping design by William Webster (see our "Ornamental Farm" page. See similar questions...

How does the iris illustrate the whole body?

Iridology FAQ
The iris illustrates the whole person, including the whole body and the whole mind. Individual traits are identified at two levels, static and dynamic. The static traits are the constitutional qualities as shown by the overall structure and color of the iris, and the dynamic traits are indicated by small changes in the iris during the person's life. More advanced methods can be applied for identifying the past chronology of accumulated iris markings. See similar questions...

What does an auto-iris lens do for me?

Multicam Digital Surveillance Systems - Frequently Asked Que...
Outdoor cameras or cameras indoors facing a window or an outside door will have varying light conditions.

How should I thin my iris?

Frequently Asked Questions: Iris
Iris need to be thinned or divided before they become overcrowded, generally every 3-4 years. If iris are allowed to become too crowded the bloom will suffer, some varieties may crowd others out and disease problems may be aggravated. Old clumps may be thinned by removing the old divisions at the centers of the clumps and leaving new growth in the ground. Or, you may dig up the entire clump and remove and replant the large new rhizomes. See similar questions...

Why does Earth's Stargate have an iris?

GateWorld - The Stargate FAQ
The iris was installed in the first episode ("Children of the Gods") as a protection against unwanted arrivals. Once it was determined that anyone on another planet could dial up Earth, and that many of the people who would want to do that were hostiles, it was decided that some form of protection was warranted. On a planet like Abydos, the answer was simply to bury the Stargate, but Earth wanted to explore -- and so needed to find another way to control incoming traffic. See similar questions...

How are tumors in the iris treated?

Frequently Asked Questions about Eye Cancer
These are rare tumors. They can be either primary tumors of the iris (e.g. malignant melanoma) or spread from another tumor (e.g. breast, lung). Treatment of these tumors depends on whether the tumor is growing and also whether there is any complication from the tumor (e.g. uncontrolled glaucoma). In the case of glaucoma that does not get better with medication, or if the tumor is growing quickly, it may be necessary to remove the entire eye. See similar questions...

For handwriting recognition, what kinds of pen and tablet work with Wenlin?

Frequently Asked Questions about Wenlin
Any pen input device that can function as a mouse should work with Wenlin. From Wenlin's point of view, it makes no difference whether you use a mouse or a pen. However, a good pen is easier to use than a mouse for writing characters. The good pens, such as those from Wacom (www.wacom.com), come with special tablets that you write on. (A good pen does not have a little ball at the end like a mouse; beware of cheap devices. See similar questions...
