Iris recognition is to identify a user based on the iris texture information which exists between the white sclera and the black pupil. Iris recognition system has been in the limelight for high-security biometric applications due to the advantages of non-contact characteristics and the highest recognition performance among biometric systems. Conventional iris recognition systems consist of the iris camera and the processing unit, like a PC or an embedded control box. The iris camera captures the user's iris images and transfers them to the processing unit. In the processing unit, the captured images are processed and recognition is performed. For fast recognition, it is very important to capture the user's focused eye image at fast speed. If not, the total recognition time is increased and it makes the user feel much inconvenience. In previous researches and systems, they use the focusing method which has been used for general landscape scenes without considering the characteristics of iris image. So, they take much focusing time sometimes, especially in the case of the user with glasses. To overcome such a problem, we propose a new iris image acquisition method to capture the user's focused eye image at very fast speed. It can be applicable to the users both with and without glasses.
