INTRODUCTION
Emerging technology refers to an innovation of anew technology and also to the
development of the existing one by adding some modifications in it. Innovation is a process of
discovering a new ideas and techniques in order to develop a product, technology and service.
Emerging technology is a relative term to the innovation process as both the terms posses same
objectives. This report will highlight the concept and use of Iris Scanner as well its importance.
The report will also highlight the impact of Iris scanner technology on different industries and
sectors.
TASK 1
About the Technology
Iris Scanner is a device that uses visible and infrared light to take a high-contrast
photograph of a person's iris. It is the best method for biometric identification and s more
accurate than fingerprint identification (Yigitcanlar, 2017. ). The reason behind this accuracy is
that the iris of a person never gets injured and virtually it remains the same as in case of initial
scan as well as no contact lenses and eye glasses could affect the scan. Thus, it makes it easy and
reliable to identify the identity of the person by using iris scanner.
Features and working of the Iris scanner-
 Iris Scanners perform the biometric recognition of a person's identity.
 Iris Scanners are used as a device for security in various industries and sectors.
 Iris Scanner measures the unique pattern of a person's iris and coloured circles in people's
eyes.
 Iris scanner illuminates the iris of a person with an invisible infrared light for noting
down the unique patterns that are not visible to the naked eyes.
 Iris Scanner detects and excludes eyelashes, eyelids and other specular reflections that
blocks the parts of the iris.
 It stores the pattern of eye lines and colours and analyse it to extract a bit pattern that
encodes the information in iris.
