  • Publication number: 20210335075
    Abstract: An identity verification method applied in an identity verification device is provided. The method includes controlling a first camera to capture an image of a user and performing a preliminary verification on the user based on the captured image. A first reference point and a second reference point are determined on a human face of the user in the captured image, when the user passes the preliminary verification. Once first reference information of the first reference point and second reference information of the second reference point are obtained, a re-verification on the user is performed based on the first reference information of the first reference point and the second reference information of the second reference point.
