More Information
Summary:This disclosure pertains to iris recognition including liveness testing. A device may perform iris recognition with testing to check liveness. Sensing circuitry in the device may comprise an IR sensor and IR emitter to generate a uniform IR emission and a pulsed IR emission. Sensor data based on the uniform IR emission may be used for iris recognition, which may be confirmed by at least one test confirming that real eyes are being analyzed and not spoof data. For example, a determination may be made as to whether a light reflection is visible in images captured by the IR sensor, whether the light reflection is aligned and/or synchronized with an eye center and/or iris center, whether a portion of the iris visible in the captured images changes from image to image, whether the images show that a pupil of the eye is reactive to the pulsed IR emissions, etc.
