Systems and methods for biometric authentication with liveness detection
Systems and methods for biometric authentication with liveness detection are disclosed. A method of biometric authentication may be performed in an information processing apparatus including at least a memory, a communication interface, at least one computer processor, a display, and an image capture device. The method may include (1) receiving a streaming images of a user's face captured by the image capture device; (2) graphically presenting, on the display, the streaming images, a target and a moveable object; (3) detecting a movement of a feature of the user's face in the streaming images; (4) graphically presenting the movement of the feature of the user's face on the display by moving the object in a direction of the movement of the feature of the user's face; and (5) determining whether the user is live based on the movement.
1. A method of biometric authentication, comprising:
in an information processing apparatus including at least a memory, a communication interface, at least one computer processor, a display, and an image capture device:
receiving streaming images of a user's face captured by the image capture device;
graphically presenting, on the display, the streaming images of the user's face and a computer-generated moveable object overlaid on the streaming images of the user's face, wherein the computer-generated moveable object comprises a dot, a graphic, or a symbol;
detecting a movement of a feature of the user's face in the streaming images;
graphically presenting the movement of the feature of the user's face on the display by moving the computer-generated moveable object in a direction of the movement of the feature of the user's face; and
determining whether the user is live based on the movement.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
extracting a biometric feature from at least one image in the streaming images;
retrieving a stored biometric feature for the user; and
authenticating the user by comparing the extracted biometric feature to the stored biometric feature.
3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:
receiving identifying information for the user, wherein the identifying information is used to retrieve the stored biometric feature for the user.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
extracting a biometric feature from at least one image in the streaming images;
identifying a matching biometric feature that matches the extracted biometric feature in a database comprising a plurality of stored biometric features;
retrieving an identity associated with the matching biometric feature; and
authenticating the user.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information processing apparatus is a mobile electronic device.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information processing apparatus is a point of transaction device.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information processing apparatus is an access device for a protected area.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
graphically presenting, on the display, a target; and
instructing the user to graphically move the computer-generated moveable object toward the target using the movement of the feature of the user's face.
