METHOD AND APPARATUS WITH LIVENESS DETECTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18473786 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS WITH LIVENESS DETECTION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method and apparatus for liveness detection and facial verification. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- The method starts by detecting a face region in an input image.
- It then measures characteristic information of the face region.
- If the measured characteristic information does not satisfy a condition, it adjusts the measured information.
- Finally, it performs liveness detection on the face region using the adjusted characteristic information.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Facial recognition systems: The liveness detection method can be used to ensure that the detected face is not a static image or a mask, enhancing the security and accuracy of facial recognition systems.
- Biometric authentication: The facial verification method can be used in applications where secure authentication is required, such as unlocking smartphones or accessing secure facilities.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Preventing spoofing attacks: By detecting liveness, the method can prevent spoofing attempts using static images or masks, ensuring that only real faces are verified.
- Enhancing accuracy: By adjusting the measured characteristic information, the method can improve the accuracy of facial verification by compensating for variations in lighting conditions or facial expressions.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved security: The liveness detection method adds an extra layer of security by preventing unauthorized access through spoofing attempts.
- Enhanced user experience: By adjusting the measured characteristic information, the method can provide more accurate and reliable facial verification, leading to a smoother and more convenient user experience.
Original Abstract Submitted
A liveness detection method and apparatus, and a facial verification method and apparatus are disclosed. The liveness detection method includes detecting a face region in an input image, measuring characteristic information of the face region, adjusting the measured characteristic information in response to the characteristic information not satisfying a condition, and performing a liveness detection on the face region with the adjusted characteristic information upon the measured characteristic information not satisfying the condition.
