USER AUTHENTICATION BASED ON THREE-DIMENSIONAL FACE MODELING USING PARTIAL FACE IMAGES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240104180 titled 'USER AUTHENTICATION BASED ON THREE-DIMENSIONAL FACE MODELING USING PARTIAL FACE IMAGES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system and method for user authentication based on facial recognition technology. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • Obtaining multiple images of a user's face and facial expression.
  • Using a neural network to generate 3D facial modeling parameters based on the images.
  • Comparing the generated parameters with a reference 3D facial model to determine authentication.
  • Authenticating the user if the error between the generated parameters and the reference model is below a certain threshold.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various industries such as:

  • Security systems
  • Access control
  • Biometric identification

Problems Solved

  • Enhances security by using advanced facial recognition technology.
  • Provides a more secure and reliable method of user authentication.

Benefits

  • Improved accuracy in user authentication.
  • Enhanced security measures.
  • User-friendly authentication process.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Facial Recognition Authentication Technology for Enhanced Security Measures"

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be the use of facial recognition in smartphone unlocking systems, where users can unlock their devices using facial recognition technology.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology handle variations in facial expressions or lighting conditions?

The patent application does not specifically address how the system adapts to different facial expressions or lighting conditions during the authentication process.

What measures are in place to protect user privacy and data security?

The patent application does not detail the specific security measures in place to protect user data and privacy while using this authentication technology.


Original Abstract Submitted

systems and techniques are provided for performing user authentication. for example, a process can include obtaining a plurality of images associated with a face and a facial expression of the user, wherein each respective image of the plurality of images includes a different portion of the face. an encoder neural network can be used to generate one or more predicted three-dimensional (3d) facial modeling parameters, wherein the encoder neural network generates the one or more predicted 3d facial modeling parameters based on the plurality of images. a reference 3d facial model associated with the face and the facial expression can be obtained. an error can be determined between the one or more predicted 3d facial modeling parameters and the reference 3d facial model, and the user can be authenticated user based on the error being less than a pre-determined authentication threshold.
