A set of facial features is identified in the region of interest, the facial features being indicative of interaction between facial muscles and skin of the subject due to the subject performing the facial expression. A determination is made, based on the facial features, that the first image substantially matches a template image of the facial expression of the subject. Responsive to determining that the first image substantially matches the template image, identifying the subject as a live person.
