Biometric DB#1 Iris recognition Iris biometric authentication is one of the most precise and accurate authentication systems, and this is the reason why it is mostly used in sensitive sectors where there are high risks of security concerns. Iris technology relies on the uniquely colored rings surrounding the eye’s pupil. Made from flexible connective tissues, the iris has about 266 unique characteristics that make it rich in biometric data. Iris technology uses almost 173 of these unique characteristics, and they remain stable throughout an individual’s lifetime expect when injured. Iris recognition may be used in both identification and recognition systems. In recognition systems, the use of a small and high-quality camera to capture white and black high-resolution images of the iris (Vacca, 2007). As a result, the system can then define the iris’s boundaries, establish a coordination system, and determine zones for analysis in the coordination system. Application of iris recognition systems in criminal justice Since the iris patterns are complex and impossible to interfere with, it has been used in the criminal justice system for the identification of criminals.…
Innovation Example of a successful innovation An example of successful innovation is the Blippar app. It is an image recognition platform that uses Artificial Intelligence and Augmented Reality. In simple terms, the app allows users to use their smartphone camera to point at objects which would then unlock essential and entertaining information or content. What the app sought to do was to make the ability to catalogue easy. Besides, the Blippar app was meant to obtain additional content through product scans via cameras. It made it easier for users to access information and games (Johnston, 2015). Users could also make packaging more engaging and interactive by merely using their smartphone cameras. The app has since revolutionized to an artificial intelligence visual search engine allowing users to recognize various objects.
