The present application is related to and claims benefit under 35 U.S.C. §119(a) of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2014-0149693, filed on Oct. 31, 2014, which is hereby incorporated by reference for all purposes as if fully set forth herein.
Various embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method for recognizing the iris using a camera module, and an electronic device thereof.
The iris is a human organ that transfers visual information, and can play the same role as the aperture of a camera. In addition, the iris is comprised of the most sophisticated and intricate fibrous tissue in the human body, and wrinkles or blood vessels in such a fibrous tissue can include intrinsic information in order to identify each individual.
The above and other objects, features, and advantages of the present disclosure will be more apparent from the following detailed description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which: For a more complete understanding of the present disclosure and its advantages, reference is now made to the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which like reference numerals represent like parts:
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an electronic device, according to various embodiments of the present disclosure;
FIG. 2A illustrates an iris recognition method using an electronic device, according to various embodiments of the present disclosure;
FIGS. 1 through 5C, discussed below, and the various embodiments used to describe the principles of the present disclosure in this patent document are by way of illustration only and should not be construed in any way to limit the scope of the disclosure. Those skilled in the art will understand that the principles of the present disclosure may be implemented in any suitably arranged image processing technologies.
Hereinafter, various embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the same elements will be designated by the same reference numerals although they are shown in different drawings. Further, a detailed description of a known function and configuration which may make the subject matter of the present disclosure unclear will be omitted. Hereinafter, it should be noted that only the descriptions will be provided that may help understanding the operations provided in association with the various embodiments of the present disclosure, and other descriptions will be omitted to avoid making the subject matter of the present disclosure rather unclear.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an electronic device, according to various embodiments of the present disclosure.
