Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for combining biometric data are disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes the actions of accessing one or more synthetic biometric data samples. The actions further include identifying data that indicates characteristics of each of the one or more biometric data samples and data that indicates a quality score of each of the one or more biometric data samples. The actions further include identifying target parameters of a synthetic biometric database. The actions further include comparing the target parameters of the synthetic biometric database to the characteristics of each of the one or more biometric data samples and to the quality score of each of the one or more biometric data samples. The actions further include selecting, for the synthetic biometric database, a subset of the synthetic biometric data samples.

Abstract: An image of a portion of a person's body is accessed, the image having been captured by an image capture device. Using the image, measurements of characteristics in the image are obtained, the characteristics in the image having been selected based on a statistical analysis of characteristics (i) in a plurality of first images taken directly of a person and (ii) in a plurality of second images taken of an image of a person. Based on a liveness function, a score for the image is determined using the obtained measurements of the characteristics in the image. A threshold value is accessed. The score of the image is compared to the accessed threshold value. Based on the comparison of the score of the image to the accessed threshold value, the image is determined to be have been taken by the image capture device imaging the portion of the person's body.
