Handbook of Iris Recognition

From the book reviews:

"The book consists of 18 chapters with very detailed analysis of state of the art in particular areas of Iris Recognition technology. ... The handbook will be very useful to anyone interested in or currently working in iris recognition; the presented collection will be a real table-book." (Valery Starovoitov, IAPR Newsletter, Vol. 36 (2), April, 2014)

"Springer has published Handbook of Iris Recognition, which contains 19 contributed chapters from 42 different researchers ... . this is a book well balanced and well worth having in one's professional library ... . With this clear labour of love, Burge and Bowyer have made an outstanding contribution to our science of automated human recognition, for which they and the contributors are to be strongly congratulated." (James Wayman, IET Biometrics, Vol. 3 (1), 2014)

"...an excellent summary of the state of theory, technology, and applications of the important biometric identification modality that uses the characteristics of the iris. ...For anyone interested in iris recognition, this book is indispensable." (Creed Jones, ACM Computing Reviews, May, 2013)
