In the past, science fiction movies were the carrier of people's infinite longing for the future world, but now, those movies on the screen in the pastThe scene of 'boundless imagination' has quietly entered real life with the pace of technological progress.

Take iris recognition technology as an example. Simply aim your gaze at the scanning device, and within a few seconds, your identity can be confirmed through precise information comparison. With its high precision and accuracy, this technology has become second only toDNABiometric identification methods.

Iris is one of the most complex biological features in the human eye, containing rich texture information. The formation of iris is influenced bygenetic genesdecision,Iris in fetusDevelopmental stageAfter formation, it will remain unchanged throughout the entire life process. These features determine the uniqueness of iris features and also determine the uniqueness of identity recognition.

The development history of iris recognition technology can be traced back to the earliesttwentycenturyeightyAt that time, scientists first proposed the concept of using iris for identity verification.twentycenturyeightyAt the end of the decade, ophthalmologists at Harvard University first envisioned using the unique physiological structure of the iris to achieve identity verification. This idea ultimatelyone thousand nine hundred and ninety-twoBreakthrough progress has been made in the year,John DaugmanThe professor successfully transformed the concept of iris recognition for identity recognition into a realistic digital automated recognition through innovative mathematical algorithms, laying the mathematical theoretical foundation for iris recognition algorithms. With the continuous advancement and development of computer vision technology and sensor technology, iris recognition technology is gradually moving from theoretical research to deep application. 

Initially, iris recognition was mainly used in high security environments such as national defense and prisons.In recent years, thanks to the rapid development of chip technology and continuous optimization of recognition algorithms, the performance of iris recognition devices has been greatly improved, the size has gradually decreased, and the cost has also been significantly reduced, greatly expanding their application scope.

The introduction and development of iris recognition technology in China can be traced back totwo thousandYear. At that time, Professor Tan Tieniu, now a member of the Standing Committee of the 14th CPPCC National Committee, an academician of the CAS Member, and secretary of the Party Committee of Nanjing University, was invited back to China by the Chinese Academy of Sciences in the way of "Hundred Talents Plan" talent introduction after completing his studies in the United Kingdom. Shortly after returning to China, he served as the director of the State Key Laboratory of Pattern Recognition of the Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences, which made him a pioneer of iris recognition technology in China.

two thousand and sixIn, Professor Tan founded Zhongke Hongba Technology Co., Ltd. as the founder, which has achieved significant success in the field of iris recognition and played an important role in the formulation of national standards.

At present, iris recognition technology has been widely applied in multiple fields such as public safety, finance, healthcare, and mobile payments. In China, iris recognition technology has become an important component of national security projects, such as the construction of iris databases in the public security system. These practical applications not only promote the popularization and development of iris recognition technology, but also further enhance its global visibility and influence.
