Abstract: The invention enables spoof detection in eye based person detection, person recognition, or person monitoring systems. The invention includes (i) illuminating an eye from a first source located at a first position, (ii) illuminating the eye from a second source located at a second position spaced from the first position, (iii) acquiring at the image sensor, a set of images of the eye which includes (a) a first set of image information representing a first specular reflection at a third position relative to the eye, (b) a second set of image information representing a second specular reflection at a fourth position relative to the eye, (iv) determining a difference value representing a difference between the third position and the fourth position, and (v) generating a data signal representing detection of a real eye in response to determining that the difference value is less than a threshold value.

Abstract: The invention enables assessment and monitoring of attentiveness of a driver of a vehicle. The invention provides systems, methods and computer program products that determine a driver specific baseline degree of eye openness for a vehicle driver, and thereafter monitor and determine driver attentiveness or alertness based on the determined driver specific baseline degree of eye openness.
