Methods for performing biometric recognition of a human eye and corroboration of same
First Claim
1. A method of biometric acquisition, comprising:
- acquiring, by a first sensor, an image of a face;
acquiring, by a second sensor, an image of a corresponding iris suitable for computer recognition at the same time as or within a specified period of time from acquiring the image of the face to ensure that the image of the face and the image of the corresponding iris are from a same live person;
associating the image of the face with the image of the corresponding iris for biometric identification of the same live person; and
determining if motion vectors from comparing the image of the corresponding iris with the image of the face are consistent with an expected sequence of images acquired from the same live person.

Abstract
A method of biometric recognition is provided. Multiple images of the face or other non-iris image and iris of an individual are acquired. If the multiple images are determined to form an expected sequence of images, the face and iris images are associated together. A single camera preferably acquires both the iris and face images by changing at least one of the zoom, position, or dynamic range of the camera. The dynamic range can be adjusted by at least one of adjusting the gain settings of the camera, adjusting the exposure time, and/or adjusting the illuminator brightness. The expected sequence determination can be made by determining if the accumulated motion vectors of the multiple images is consistent with an expected set of motion vectors and/or ensuring that the iris remains in the field of view of all of the multiple images.

11. A system, comprising:
-
a first sensor configured for acquiring an image of a face; a second sensor configured for acquiring an image of a corresponding iris suitable for computer recognition at the same time as or within a specified period of time from acquiring the image of the face to ensure that the image of the face and the image of the corresponding iris are from a same live person; and a processor, operably coupled to the first sensor and the second sensor, configured to associate the image of the face with the image of the corresponding iris for biometric identification of the same live person, and to determine if motion vectors from comparing the image of the corresponding iris with the image of the face are consistent with an expected sequence of images acquired from the same live person. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
