  • Publication number: 20170213096
    Abstract: A method of host-directed illumination for verifying the validity of biometric data of a user is provided that includes capturing biometric data from a user with an authentication device during authentication and directing illumination of the biometric data from a host authentication system during the capturing operation. Moreover, the method includes comparing illumination characteristics of the captured biometric data against illumination characteristics expected to result from the directing operation, and determining that the user is a live user when the illumination characteristics of the captured biometric data match the illumination characteristics expected to result from the directing operation.

  • Patent number: 9679193
    Abstract: A method of capturing biometric data is provided that includes activating a security application in a device. The security application is activated by an operator of the device and is configured to cause the device to display an outline image. Moreover, the method includes displaying the outline image in a stationary position on a display of the device, positioning desired biometric data proximate the device such that the desired biometric data appears as a biometric image on the device display, and monitoring the outline and biometric images shown on the device display. Furthermore, the method includes positioning the device and the desired biometric data to better align the outline and biometric images when the outline and biometric images do not align and capturing the desired biometric data from an individual after approximately aligning the outline image with the biometric image.

  • Patent number: 9519820
    Abstract: A method of authenticating users is provided that includes capturing biometric authentication data of a user and processing the captured biometric data into an image. Moreover, the method includes determining a region of interest of the image and a gray scale image from the image, determining an optimum transformation parameter set within the region of interest, and aligning the gray scale image with an enrollment gray scale image generated during enrollment of the user using results of the optimum transformation parameter set determination. Furthermore, the method includes extracting biometric feature data from the gray scale image and verifying an identity of the user with extracted biometric feature data included in a region of agreement.

  • Publication number: 20160294824
    Abstract: A method for detecting user head motion during an authentication transaction is provided that includes generating, by a processor, a motion type feature vector and a user head motion type prediction based on data generated for a sequence of frames. The frames are included in biometric data captured from a user. Moreover, the method includes generating a liveness rating feature vector based on the generated frame data, merging the motion type and liveness rating vectors, and generating a spoof prediction from the merged vector. When the generated spoof prediction indicates biometric data in the frames was spoofed, the method includes changing the user head motion type prediction to no motion. The method also includes storing the user head motion type prediction in a buffer and determining a final user head motion type detected for the frames.
