Abstract
Multiple images including a face presented by a user are accessed. One or more determinations are made based on the multiple images, such as a determination of whether the face included in the multiple images is a 3-dimensional structure or a flat surface and/or a determination of whether motion is present in one or more face components (e.g., eyes or mouth). If it is determined that the face included in the multiple images is a 3-dimensional structure or that that motion is present in the one or more face components, then an indication is provided that the user can be authenticated. However, if it is determined that the face included in the multiple images is a flat surface or that motion is not present in the one or more face components, then an indication is provided that the user cannot be authenticated.
