The global Iris Recognition Access Control System market was valued at US$ 209 million in 2022 and is projected to reach US$ 297.4 million by 2029, at a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period. The influence of COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine War were considered while estimating market sizes.

The principle of Iris Recognition Access Control System is to find out the iris data that matches the collected iris from the iris database, and realize the function of opening the door lock by identifying the identity information. The specific design plan of the system: first collect the iris image, and then perform the iris image preprocessing, where the iris positioning is the image preprocessing, and the iris positioning is the key to the image preprocessing, because it is a prerequisite for effective iris recognition, which is to determine The position of the inner and outer edges in the image; adopt a specific algorithm for coding recognition. At this stage, the key is to extract the features of the iris image to be recognized, and compare and determine the features of the iris in the database according to a certain matching algorithm. Then operate the execution state of the door lock, and finally achieve the purpose of identification.

An Iris Recognition Access Control System is a cutting-edge security technology designed to either grant or restrict access to specific areas or resources based on the unique patterns within an individual’s iris – the colored part of the eye surrounding the pupil. This sophisticated biometric system relies on the fact that each person possesses a distinct iris pattern, much like a fingerprint, making it a highly effective and reliable method of identification.

The process begins by capturing a high-resolution image of the person’s iris using a specialized camera. Subsequently, the image undergoes analysis, and the iris pattern gets extracted, taking into consideration various features such as furrows, crypts, and freckles. This extracted pattern is then transformed into a unique biometric template, securely stored in a database for future reference.

When an individual seeks access to a secured area or resource, they simply need to present their eyes to the iris recognition system for authentication. The system captures their iris image, compares it with the pre-stored templates, and determines if there is a match. If a match is found, access is granted; if not, entry is denied.

Iris recognition offers numerous advantages over traditional access control methods like PINs, passwords, or even fingerprint scanning. Its high accuracy, difficulty to forge, and the fact that it doesn’t require physical contact with the scanning device ensure better hygiene and user convenience. Furthermore, iris recognition systems are less prone to errors caused by factors such as dirt, wear and tear, or changes in lighting conditions.

Thanks to its exceptional accuracy and reliability, the Iris Recognition Access Control System is extensively utilized in high-security environments, including government facilities, data centers, airports, and other critical infrastructure. It also finds applications in various sectors such as finance, healthcare, and telecommunications, where data privacy and access control are of utmost importance.
