Spoof detection using multiple image acquisition devices

Abstract:

The technology described in this document can be embodied in a method that includes receiving from a sensor, information indicative of an environmental condition. The method also includes receiving first information indicative of whether or not a first image captured by a first image acquisition device corresponds to an alternative representation of a live person, and receiving second information indicative of whether or not a second image captured by a second image acquisition device corresponds to the alternative representation. The first information and the second information are combined in a weighted combination, the corresponding weights being assigned in accordance with the environmental condition. A determination is made, based on the weighted combination, that a subject in the first and second images is an alternative representation of a live person, and in response, access to the secure system is prevented.
