Abstract
This disclosure describes, in part, devices and techniques for performing biometric identification for an electronic device. For instance, the electronic device may include one or more near-infrared illuminators that output near-infrared light. The one or more near-infrared illuminators may be located in or on a bezel and/or a display of the electronic device. The electronic device may also include an imaging device that generates first image data representing the near-infrared light and visible light. After generating the image data, the electronic device may process the first image data using one or more image processing techniques to generate second image data representing a near-infrared image and third image data representing a visible image. The electronic device may then analyze the second image data and/or the third image data using one or more biometric identification techniques. Based on the analysis, the electronic device may identify a person possessing the electronic device.
