Apparatus for focusing iris images of both eyes

Abstract

The invention relates to an iris recognition system, and more particularly, to an apparatus for approaching the iris images of the both eyes most adjacent within a range beyond which the iris images overlap each other in an iris recognition system using all of the iris images of the both eyes at the same time. The iris recognition system using all of the iris images of the both eyes at the same time adopts an apparatus for narrowing the distance between the iris images of the both eyes acquired in CCD images when the iris images are obtained through photographing the iris images of the both eyes are photographed. The apparatus of the invention comprises iris image focusing means for converting an incident path, whereby the distance between the iris images of the both eyes is narrowed on an optical path along which eye images of the user are focused to a camera, in which the focusing means can be an angled reflector with one side being inclined at an angle about the center.
