Live person authentication using color-coded image sequences
The patent US12020512B2 outlines a computer-implemented method and system for authenticating a subject based on visual analysis of their eye region. The process begins with the acquisition of a color-coded sequence of colors, which is used to illuminate the subject. A series of images is then captured in synchronization with this illumination. These images undergo a matched filtering process to generate a filtered response image. The method determines whether the subject is a live person by analyzing structural features around the eye region, such as depth discontinuities and albedo variations. If the subject is confirmed as live, an authentication process is initiated.
Additionally, the patent describes the use of machine learning techniques to enhance the discrimination between live subjects and alternative representations, such as masks. The system can also assess the absence of eye cutout features in the filtered response image to further validate the subject's authenticity. The claims detail the generation of spatially aligned images and the application of matched filters corresponding to the color-coded sequence to produce the filtered response image. This innovative approach aims to improve security measures in authentication processes by ensuring that only live individuals can gain access, thereby reducing the risk of impersonation through masks or other deceptive means.
