Patent number: 9704039Abstract: This invention concerns apparatus and a method for authenticating a subject using their eye as an identifying biometric, in particular the shape of their cornea. The apparatus comprises an image projection device to generate and project an image of a pattern, made up of plural discrete points, onto at least a part of the cornea of an eye of the person. An image capture device to capture an image of the pattern of plural discrete points, after reflection in at least a part of the cornea of an eye of the person. And, a computer processor to extract a data set defining the locations of the discrete points in the captured image. The method comprises capturing an image of an illuminated pattern, made up of plural discrete points, after reflection in at least a part of the cornea of an eye of the subject. Comparing the locations of the discrete points in the pattern of the captured image against the locations of the discrete points in the pattern of a reference image.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2015Date of Patent: July 11, 2017Assignee: WAVEFRONT BIOMETRIC TECHNOLOGIES PTY LIMITEDInventors: Stephen Mason, Edwin Jay Sarver

Patent number: 9036872Abstract: An apparatus and method for authenticating a subject using the eye as an identifying biometric, in particular the shape of the cornea. An image projection device generates and projects an image of a pattern, of plural discrete points, onto at least a part of the cornea of the eye. An image capture device captures an image of the pattern of plural discrete points, after reflection from the cornea of the eye. A computer processor extracts data defining the locations of the discrete points in the captured image. The method steps are capturing an image of a pattern, made up of plural discrete points, after reflection from of the cornea of a subject; comparing the locations of the discrete points in the captured image against the locations of discrete points in a pattern of a reference image; and, authenticating the identity of the subject depending on the similarity of the comparison.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2014Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignee: WAVEFRONT BIOMETRIC TECHNOLOGIES PTY LIMITEDInventors: Stephen Mason, Edwin Jay Sarver
