Abstract
Disclosed is a fraud detection method to authenticate that an object is formed of human skin. The method includes an object being placed on a home location on the surface of a propagation medium of a sensor, lighting the home location of the surface by a light source emitting light rays illuminating the home location forming with said surface a plurality of incidence angles encompassing a critical angle defined by the refraction index of the propagation medium and by a refraction index expected for authentic human skin, receipt by an imager of light rays from the surface, and acquisition of an image, and determining whether the object matches an authentic human finger based on the refraction index of said object, as a function of the spatial light distribution on the acquired image.
