Abstract: A method for determining authenticity of an object in real-time is disclosed. The method being performed by a processor includes receiving image data of the object. The image data includes both the captured image showing a visual representation of the object as well as depth data describing the relative distance between different objects in the image and the camera. This depth information is analyzed in order to determine a liveness of the object. The analysis may include verifying a sufficient change in depth between the subject and a background as well as comparing an edge of a foreground object to an expected edge or an edge determined from the image. Based on this analysis, a determination can be made as to whether the image is of a live (e.g., real) subject.

Abstract: Communication systems are described that use signal constellations, which have unequally spaced (i.e. ‘geometrically’ shaped) points. In many embodiments, the communication systems use specific geometric constellations that are capacity optimized at a specific SNR.
