A computer-implemented method for identifying a user uses a computing device comprising an illumination source that, when activated, emits visible light, the method comprising taking two images of a scene potentially comprising a living body part carrying a biometric characteristic, wherein a first image is taken without the illumination source activated and the second image is taken with the illumination source activated, transferring the first image and the second image to a neural network and processing, by the neural network the first image and the second image, by comparing the first image and the second image, thereby determining whether the first image and the second image are of the living body part, and, if it is determined that the first image and the second image are of the living body part, performing an identification algorithm to find a biometric characteristic for identifying the user.

Liveliness detection using a device comprising an illumination source

A method for distinguishing a real three-dimensional object from a two-dimensional spoof of the real three-dimensional object, the method comprising: obtaining, by an optical sensor of a mobile device, an image containing an object that is either the two-dimensional spoof or the real three-dimensional object; providing the image to a neural network; processing the image by the neural network by calculating: 1) a distance map representative of the distance of pixels to the optical sensor, the pixels constituting at least a portion of the object within the image, or 2) a reflection pattern representative of light reflection associated with pixels constituting at least a portion of the object within the image; comparing the distance map or the reflection pattern with a learned distance map or a learned reflection pattern; and obtaining as a final output a determination the image contains either the two-dimensional spoof or the real three-dimensional object.

Method for distinguishing a real three-dimensional object from a two-dimensional spoof of the real object

A method for identifying a user using an image of an object of the user, the method comprising: obtaining, by an optical sensor of a mobile device, the image of the object, wherein the object comprises a biometric characteristic of the user; providing the image to a neural network; processing the image by the neural network to identify-a position of the object and the object in the image; extracting, from the identified object, the biometric characteristic; storing the biometric characteristic in a storage device; and providing at least the biometric characteristic as input to an identification means to determine whether the biometric characteristic identifies the user.

Method for identifying an object within an image and mobile device for executing the method

A method for identifying a user using an image of an object of the user that has a biometric characteristic of the user, like a fingerprint or a set of fingerprints of fingertips, the method comprising: obtaining, by an optical sensor of a mobile device, the image of the object; providing the image to a neural network; processing the image by the neural network, thereby identifying both, the position of the object and the object in the image; extracting, from the identified object, the biometric characteristic; storing the biometric characteristic in a storage device and/or providing at least the biometric characteristic as input to an identification means, comprising processing the input in order to determine whether the biometric characteristic identifies the user.

A method for distinguishing a real three-dimensional object from a two-dimensional spoof of the real object, the method comprising: obtaining, by an optical sensor of a mobile device, an image containing either the spoof or the real object; providing the image to a neural network; processing the image by the neural network by: calculating at least one of: 1) a distance map representative of the distance of a plurality of pixels to the optical sensor; or 2) a reflection pattern representative of light reflection associated with a plurality of pixels constituting at least a portion of the object within the image; and comparing at least one of the calculated distance map or the calculated reflection pattern with a learned distance map or a learned reflection pattern, to determine that the image contains either the spoof or the real object.
