1. A method for performing iris recognition of a user by a mobile computing device based on imagery of the user captured using the mobile computing device, comprising:

  • capturing, by the mobile device having a camera, a light emitter, a non-transitory storage medium, instructions stored on the storage medium, and a processor configured by executing the instructions, a first image depicting a facial region of a user;

    processing, the first image among the images using an eye finding algorithm to identify an eye of the user depicted in the first image;

    illuminating, with the processor using a light source, the user;

    capturing, with the processor using the camera during the illuminating step, a second image of the subject;

    analyze one or more of the first and second images to identify a location of the eye depicted in the one or more of the first and second images;

    isolating, with the processor based on the identified location, an eye image within the second image, wherein the eye image is a portion of the second image that depicts the eye;

    segmenting, with the processor, an iris image from the eye image, wherein the iris image is a portion of the eye image that includes iris image data corresponding to an iris;

    encoding, with the processor from the segmented iris image, the iris image data as an iris template;

    authenticating the user, with the processor, by matching the encoded iris template to a previously stored encoded iris template for a match; and

    providing, with the processor, a result of the authentication.
