  • Publication number: 20240070247
    Abstract: A method for checking an individual having an identity document on a medium comprising an electronic chip in which a reference biometric datum of the individual is stored and capable of displaying an automatic reading zone representing an optical reading datum of the identity document, the method includes carrying out by a checking device of acquiring a candidate biometric datum on a biometric trait of the individual, retrieving from the candidate biometric datum in a memory, an optical reading datum associated with the reference biometric datum corresponding to the biometric trait of the individual, and opening a secure communication channel with the electronic chip of the medium of the individual's identity document using said retrieved optical reading datum.

  • Patent number: 11431704
    Abstract: The invention proposes a method of authentication of an electronic identity device (1) presented by an individual, the method being characterized in that it comprises the implementation of steps of: (b) Reception by data processing means (21) of a server (2) of an acquired image of said electronic identity device (1), the image representing at least one personal visual element of the individual and a dynamic verification code that are visible on said electronic identity device (1), said dynamic verification code containing at least one item of reference information representative of an expected appearance of said visual element; (c) Extraction, by analysis of said acquired image by the data processing means (21) of the server (2), of: an item of candidate information representative of the appearance of said visual element as represented in the acquired image; the reference information representative of the expected appearance of said visual element contained in said dynamic verification code as represente

  • Patent number: 11386716
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of biometric recognition by means of an artificial intelligence unit (5) that has access to a memory (3) containing at least one reference image of a body portion of a user and that is arranged to compare it with at least one image that has been captured of the same body portion of a candidate for recognition, the method comprising the step of submitting training images to the artificial intelligence unit, the training images presenting body portions similar to those of the reference image, the artificial intelligence unit being taught to reject them, and the method comprising the additional step of submitting at least one anti-drift image to the artificial intelligence unit, the artificial intelligence unit being taught to accept it. The invention also relates to an associated installation.

  • Patent number: 10278612
    Abstract: A solution for diagnostic applications is proposed. Particularly, a corresponding diagnostic system includes means (903-906) for providing (A1-A3) a plurality of input signals representative of a body-part being perfused with a contrast agent over time, each input signal being indicative of a response to an interrogating stimulus of a corresponding location of the body-part possibly including the contrast agent, means (909-930) for generating (A4.1-A4.3) a plurality of filtered signals from selected input signals of selected locations, each filtered signal at each instant over time being generated from a corresponding selected input signal according to a portion of the selected input signal including said instant, and means (933-939) for monitoring (A4.4-A4.
