METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CHROMINANCE-BASED FACE LIVENESS DETECTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18526567 titled 'METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CHROMINANCE-BASED FACE LIVENESS DETECTION

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method, system, and computer-readable medium for liveness detection authentication of a facial image.

  • Acquiring a first image of the facial image illuminated with a first color
  • Acquiring a second image of the facial image illuminated with a second color
  • Determining if the facial image is consistent with a three-dimensional (3D) structure using a combination of the first and second images
  • Authenticating the facial image if it is consistent with a 3D structure and matches the face of the user to be authenticated

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in:

  • Biometric security systems
  • Access control systems
  • Identity verification processes

Problems Solved

  • Preventing unauthorized access
  • Enhancing security measures
  • Ensuring accurate authentication

Benefits

  • Improved security
  • Enhanced user authentication
  • Reliable liveness detection

Potential Commercial Applications

  • Banking and financial institutions
  • Government agencies
  • Technology companies

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be the use of facial recognition systems for authentication purposes.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology handle different lighting conditions?

The patent application does not provide details on how the system adapts to varying lighting conditions to ensure accurate authentication.

What is the accuracy rate of this liveness detection authentication method?

The patent application does not specify the accuracy rate of the system in authenticating facial images.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems and computer readable medium for liveness detection authentication of a facial image are provided. The method includes acquiring a first image of the facial image illuminated with a first color, acquiring a second image of the facial image illuminated with a second color, and determining if the facial image is consistent with a three-dimensional (3D) structure in response to a combination of the first and second images. The method further includes authenticating the facial image if the facial image is consistent with a 3D structure and the facial image matches a face of user to be authenticated.
