Abstract: A method of predicting scattering of an electromagnetic (EM) wave incident on a surface with location-dependent scattering properties such as an engineered electromagnetic surface is based on generalized Snell's Law and includes offsetting a direction of scattering by a vector determined based on the properties of the surface at a particular point of incidence. The method solves the problem of “exact path calculation,” by exhaustive search of possible locations for points of incidence, followed by a fine approach, both steps using the data describing the local properties of the surface.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for performing speaker verification. A system configured to practice the method receives a request to verify a speaker, generates a text challenge that is unique to the request, and, in response to the request, prompts the speaker to utter the text challenge. Then the system records a dynamic image feature of the speaker as the speaker utters the text challenge, and performs speaker verification based on the dynamic image feature and the text challenge. Recording the dynamic image feature of the speaker can include recording video of the speaker while speaking the text challenge. The dynamic feature can include a movement pattern of head, lips, mouth, eyes, and/or eyebrows of the speaker. The dynamic image feature can relate to phonetic content of the speaker speaking the challenge, speech prosody, and the speaker's facial expression responding to content of the challenge.
