1. An iris recognition method, comprising:
- (a) capturing an iris image while one of a plurality of illuminators is turned on, each of the plurality of illuminators being arranged at different locations;
(b) registering an iris code generated from the captured iris image in a database corresponding to a location area of an illuminator of the plurality of illuminators which is currently turned on; and
(c) repeating the step (a) and the step (b) until a number of iris codes generated is the same as a number of the plurality of illuminators and each iris code is registered in a database corresponding to a location area of its respective illuminator of the plurality of illuminators.

Abstract
Disclosed is a method to improve iris recognition success ratio and speed by registering the iris code on location of illuminator. In the present invention, iris codes for a single iris generated as many as the number of a plurality of illuminators are registered on an iris database every area corresponding to the location of the illuminator. The iris codes generated one by one whenever the plurality of illuminators are turned on one by one for recognition are searched on the corresponding areas of the iris database to determine the recognition.
