The Innovations and Inventions of Steve Jobs [IP Corner]
Corcoran, Peter (IEEE, 2014-04)Much of the world of patents is shrouded in layers of legal mysticism, semantic nuances, and subtle complexities. Those of you who are regular readers of "IP Corner" will know that I often try to explain the principles ... -
The Internet of Things: why now, and what's next?
Corcoran, Peter (IEEE, 2016-01)The technology to connect "things" to the Internet has existed for more than 20 years, so if we take a look back at recent history, we might well be tempted to ask the question "Why now" In this article, I address that ... -
Introducing the IEEE Biometrics Compendium: Insight into the current issue.
Corcoran, Peter (IEEE, 2014-01)IEEE biometrics compendium is the first IEEE virtual journal, which is a collection of previously published IEEE papers in specific scientific and technical disciplines paired with value-added commentary from technology ... -
Iris authentication in handheld devices - considerations for constraint-free acquisition
Corcoran, Peter; Bigioi, Petronel; Thavalengal, Shejin (IEEE, 2015-05)As a near ideal biometric, iris authentication is widely used and mobile acquisition techniques are known. But iris acquisition on handheld imaging devices, such as smartphones, poses multiple, unique challenges. In this ... -
Iris liveness detection for next generation smartphones
Thavalengal, Shejin; Nedelcu, Tudor; Bigioi, Petronel; Corcoran, Peter (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2016-07-19)This paper presents a novel liveness detection method that exploits the acquisition workflow for iris biometrics on smartphones using a hybrid visible (RGB)/near infra-red (NIR) sensor. These devices are able to capture ... -
