Embodiments provide an iris scanning apparatus for identifying a subject, employing a wide-angle image collector, and a method thereof. A wide angle camera is employed in the iris scanning apparatus to allow a user to easily locate a small eye region of a subject without having to check back and forth between an image display and the subject's face. The apparatus and method are also capable of measuring the distance to the subject's eye and displaying the distance information on the image display, and informing the user as to whether the eye of the subject is within operating range of the iris scanning apparatus. Also, iris scanning is automatically performed without the user's input when an eye is positioned within operating range, and is not performed if an image captured by the iris scanning apparatus does not contain an eye region, in order to prevent erroneous operation. |
