AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM, AUTHENTICATION METHOD, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18030579 titled 'AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM, AUTHENTICATION METHOD, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an authentication system that captures images of a walking subject at the appropriate timing to acquire clear images with suppressed blurring. The system detects the subject's position and uses a blurring suppressing means to reduce blurring of the subject's body. It controls the image-capture operation based on the detection results and determines authentication using biometric information from the captured images.
- The system captures images of a walking subject at the right moment to ensure clear images.
- It suppresses blurring of the subject's body using a blurring suppressing means.
- The system controls the image-capture operation based on the subject's position detection.
- Biometric information from the captured images is used to authenticate the subject.
Potential Applications
- Biometric authentication systems for access control in secure areas.
- Identity verification in banking and financial institutions.
- Security systems for airports, government buildings, and other high-security locations.
Problems Solved
- Capturing clear images of a walking subject for authentication purposes.
- Reducing blurring of the subject's body in the captured images.
- Ensuring accurate authentication using biometric information.
Benefits
- Improved accuracy and reliability of biometric authentication.
- Enhanced security by capturing clear images of the subject.
- Efficient and effective authentication process for walking subjects.
Original Abstract Submitted
In order to enable images of a subject of authentication who is walking to be captured at an appropriate image-capture timing corresponding to the walking state of the subject of authentication, and to acquire a clear image in which blurring of the subject of authentication is suppressed, an authentication system according to the present invention detects the position of the subject of authentication, the blurring of the body of the same being suppressed by a blurring suppressing means that suppresses blurring of the body of the subject of authentication. On the basis of the detection results, the authentication system controls an image-capture operation of an image-capture means for capturing images of the subject of authentication, and determines, on the basis of biometric information acquired from a captured image of the subject of authentication captured by the image-capture means, whether or not to authenticate the subject of authentication.
