Systems And Methods For Detecting A Specular Reflection Pattern For Biometric Analysis
First Claim
1. A method for biometric analysis, comprising:
- receiving at least one image of an eye from an image capture system, the image capture system including a camera and one or more illuminators that direct light at the eye while the camera captures the at least one image of the eye, the eye reflecting the light from the one or more illuminators to create a pattern of one or more specular reflections in the at least one image;
identifying, with a controller, the specular reflection pattern in the at least one image of the eye; and
determining, with the controller, a quality of the at least one image of the eye based on the specular reflection pattern.

Abstract
Embodiments provide rapid detection of specular reflection patterns in eye images, which can then be analyzed to determine the quality of the image for biometric analysis. For example, systems and methods receive at least one image of an eye from an image capture system. The image capture system includes a camera and one or more illuminators that direct light at the eye while the camera captures the at least one image. The eye reflects the light from the illuminators to create a specular reflection pattern in the at least one image. The specular reflection pattern is located/identified and a quality of the at least one image of the eye, e.g., a focus measure, is determined based on the specular reflection pattern. A location of iris texture in the at least one image may be identified according to a location of the specular reflection pattern and analyzed for a focus measure.
