A determination device includes an acquisition unit that acquires image data with a flash and an image data without a flash, the image data with a flash being captured in a state of using a flash, the image data without a flash being image data of an imaging object that is the same as the imaging object shown in the image data with a flash and being captured in a state of not using a flash, and a determination unit that determines whether or not the imaging object is a living body by comparing an eye area of the imaging object included in the image data with a flash with an eye area of the imaging object included in the image data without a flash.

A method of detecting attempted fraud against a system recognising the iris of the human eye includes generation of a first image of an iris using first means of image capture in a visible light spectrum, and generation of a second image of said iris using second means of image capture in a near infra-red spectrum. The method also includes determination of at least one characteristic of the first image as a function of respective optical characteristics of pixels of a plurality of pixels of this first image and determination of at least one characteristic of the second image determined as a function of respective luminous intensities of pixels of a plurality of pixels of this second image. As a function of these determined characteristics, a signal representative of suspected detection of attempted fraud is generated.

A method and an associated device for detecting fraud during automatic face recognition, the method comprising the following steps: acquiring a first image of the face by means of a first sensor having a first field angle, and a second image of the face by means of a second sensor having a second field angle that is narrower than the first field angle; analyzing the first image to verify that there is no frame around the face; and analyzing the second image to verify that there is no moiré effect.

Disclosed herein are a method and apparatus for active identification based on gaze path analysis. The method may include extracting the face image of a user, extracting the gaze path of the user based on the face image, verifying the identity of the user based on the gaze path, and determining whether the face image is authentic.

Methods, systems, and computer-readable storage media for determining that a subject is a live person include capturing a set of images of a subject instructed to perform a facial expression. A region of interest for the facial expression is determined in a first image of the set, the first image representing a first facial state that includes the facial expression. A set of facial features is identified in the region of interest, the facial features being indicative of interaction between facial muscles and skin of the subject due to the subject performing the facial expression. A determination is made, based on the facial features, that the first image substantially matches a template image of the facial expression of the subject. Responsive to determining that the first image substantially matches the template image, identifying the subject as a live person.

A device includes memory and a processor. The device receives biometric information. The device receives location information. The device analyzes the received biometric information with stored biometric information. The device analyzes the received location information with stored location information. The device determines whether the received biometric information matches the stored biometric information. The device determines whether the received location information matches the stored location information. The device sends an electronic communication that indicates whether the received biometric information matches the stored biometric information and whether the received local information matches the stored location information.
