Iridian Technologies Facilitates Affordable Housing Program in Andhra Pradesh, India; Iris Recognition System Validates Identification to Ensure Equal Opportunity.MOORESTOWN, N.J. -- Iridian Technologies, the world leader in the development and commercialization of iris recognition Iris recognition is a method of biometric authentication that uses pattern recognition techniques based on high-resolution images of the irides of an individual's eyes. Not to be confused with another less prevalent ocular-based technology, retina scanning, iris recognition uses technology, today announced a pilot program to employ its iris recognition solution for administrative control Direction or exercise of authority over subordinate or other organizations in respect to administration and support, including organization of Service forces, control of resources and equipment, personnel management, unit logistics, individual and unit training, readiness, mobilization, in the allocation of some 9,000 affordable homes in the Guntur District
