Abstract
A method, system and computer program product are disclosed that comprise capturing first image data of a person's face using at least one sensor responsive in a band of infrared wavelengths and capturing second image data of the person's face using the at least one sensor responsive in a band of visible wavelengths; extracting image features in the image data and detecting face regions; applying a similarity analysis to image feature edge maps extracted from the first and the second image data; and recognizing a presence of a live face image after regions found in the first image data pass a facial features classifier. Upon recognizing the presence of the live face image, additional operations can include verifying the identity of the person as an authorized person and granting the person access to a resource.
