" The Invension is in relation to the device which is capable of capturing the human iris pattern within the specifically created lighting illumination conditions so that maximum iris pattern details are captured by the imaging sensor." An iris pattern capturing and processing device (1) for unique identification comprising, - an illumination module (2) adapted to produce IR spectrum with predetermined wave length focusing on the iris of an eye, - an image capturing module (4) adapted to capture the reflected IR spectrum from iris operably connected to the illumination module (2); and - a signal processing module operably connected to said image capturing module for processing the IR signal captured by the image capturing module and extracting biometric template therefrom, - said illumination module and image capturing module being disposed within a suitable housing.
