Polarized images for security
First Claim
1. A method for providing facial recognition security, comprising receiving a first image of an individual captured by a polarizing image capture device;
- comparing facial metrics in the first image to facial metrics in a second image of the individual to determine if the first and second images are of the same individual;
if the first and second images are of the same individual, determining if the first image is of a three-dimensional object based on polarized data in the image;
if the first image is of a three-dimensional object, comparing the first image with one or more other images of the individual captured by the polarizing image capture device to determine if a micro-movement indicative of a human occurred between the first image and at least one of the one or more other images; and
if a micro-movement indicative of a human occurred between the first and at least one of the one or more other images, providing a positive result to the individual.

Abstract
One embodiment may take the form of a method for providing security for access to a goal including storing a first image and receiving a second image comprising polarized data. The method also includes comparing the first image with the second image to determine if the first image and the second image are substantially the same. In the event the first and second images are not substantially the same, the method includes denying access to the goal. In the event the first and second images are substantially the same, the method includes determining, utilizing the polarized information, if the second image is of a three-dimensional object. Further, in the event the second image is not of a three-dimensional object, the method includes denying access to the goal and, in the event the second image is of a three-dimensional object, permitting access to the goal.

12. A security system comprising:
-
a camera comprising a photosensor and a polarizer, the camera capturing images of an individual; a processor coupled to the camera; and
a storage device coupled to the processor and operative to store one or more images of an individual;wherein the processor is configured to compare at least one captured image of the individual with the one or more stored images to determine if the at least one captured image and the one or more stored images are of the same individual; wherein the processor is configured to determine if at least one captured image is of a three-dimensional object based on polarized data in the image, wherein the processor is configured to determine if one or more micro-movements indicative of a human occurred between the captured images; and wherein the processor is further configured to grant access to the individual if at least one captured image and at least one stored image are of the same individual, if at least one image of the individual captured by the camera is of a three-dimensional object, and if one or more micro-movements indicative of a human occurred between the images. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
