BIOMETRIC IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A three dimensional biometric identification system (3D-BIS) comprising:
- a head worn support;
a 3D range camera mounted to the head worn support and configured to acquire a 3D range image and a picture image of a biometric hand identifier of a person wearing the 3D range camera;
a memory storing a biometric database having a 3D biometric template for the biometric hand identifier for each of at least one enrollee of the 3D-BIS; and
a processor that uses the 3D range image and picture image to provide a 3D biometric image for the biometric hand identifier and determines an identity for the person responsive to the 3D biometric image and the 3D biometric template of an enrollee of the at least one enrollee.

Abstract
An embodiment of the invention provides a three dimensional biometric identification system (3D-BIS) comprising a head mounted 3D-range camera that acquires a 3D range image and a picture image of a biometric hand identifier of a wearer of the 3D range camera and uses the images to find a match with a biometric hand identifier associated with a person having a known identity to provide an identity for the wearer.

15. A three dimensional biometric identification system (3D-BIS) for preventing unauthorized use of an apparatus, the 3D-BIS comprising:
-
a 3D range camera mounted to the apparatus and configured to acquire a 3D range image and a picture image of a biometric hand identifier of a person attempting use of the apparatus; a memory storing a biometric database having a 3D biometric template for the biometric hand identifier for each of at least one authorized user of the apparatus; and a processor that uses the 3D range image and picture image to provide a 3D biometric image for the biometric hand identifier and determine an identity for the person responsive to the 3D biometric image and the 3D biometric template of a user of the at least one user; wherein the processor does not provide authorization to use the apparatus if the determined identity is not an identity of a user of the at least one user. - View Dependent Claims (16)

17. A method of identifying a person, the method comprising:
-
acquiring a 3D biometric template for the biometric hand identifier for each of at least one person; acquiring a 3D range image and a picture image of a biometric identifier associated with a hand of a person to be identified; generating a 3D biometric image of the biometric identifier responsive to the 3D range image and the picture image; and providing an identity for the person to be identified responsive to the 3D biometric image and a 3D biometric template acquired for a person of the at least one person. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
