System And Method For Biometric Retinal Identification
US Patent:
2007028, Dec 13, 2007
Filed:
Apr 20, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/785924
Inventors:
David Usher - Waltham MA, US

International Classification:
G06K 9/00
US Classification:
382115000
Abstract:
Retinal blood vessels are detected for biometric identification by: receiving at least one image with retinal data; detecting an area in the image corresponding to a spatial variation in the image; and determining a blood vessel pattern relative in the area. The spatial variation may be determined according to a spatial intensity gradient. The area corresponding to the spatial variation may be defined by a fitted shape. A specific embodiment determines a structural measurement, such as a structural center of mass, in the area, and the blood vessel pattern is determined relative to the structural measurement. The blood vessel pattern may be determined by identifying blood vessel cross sections within the area and linking the blood vessel cross sections to determine blood vessels. Furthermore, each of the blood vessel cross sections may be represented by an N-vector determined by a N-parameter non-linear fitting function or a linear function combination.

International Classification:
G06K 9/00, H04N 7/18
US Classification:
382115, 382103, 348143
Abstract:
A system for multimodal biometric identification has a first imaging system that detects one or more subjects in a first field of view, including a targeted subject having a first biometric characteristic and a second biometric characteristic; a second imaging system that captures a first image of the first biometric characteristic according to first photons, where the first biometric characteristic is positioned in a second field of view smaller than the first field of view, and the first image includes first data for biometric identification; a third imaging system that captures a second image of the second biometric characteristic according to second photons, where the second biometric characteristic is positioned in a third field of view which is smaller than the first and second fields of view, and the second image includes second data for biometric identification. At least one active illumination source emits the second photons.

Retica Systems, Inc. - West Waltham MA
International Classification:
G06K 9/80
US Classification:
382117
Abstract:
Biometric systems capture and combine biometric information from more than one modality, employing digital processing algorithms to process and evaluate captured images having data for a biometric characteristic. Such digital algorithms may include a pupil segmentation algorithm for determining a pupil image in the captured image, an iris segmentation algorithm for determining an iris image in the captured image, an eyelid/eyelash segmentation algorithm for determining an eyelid/eyelash image in the captured image, and an algorithm for measuring the focus on the iris. Some embodiments employ an auto-capture process which employs such algorithms, in part, to evaluate captured images and obtain the best possible images for biometric identification.

International Classification:
G06K 9/62, A61B 3/14, A61B 3/15
US Classification:
382117000, 351206000, 351208000
Abstract:
A multimodal biometric identification system captures and processes images of both the iris and the retina for biometric identification. Another multimodal ocular system captures and processes images of the iris and/or the from both eyes of a subject. Biometrics based on data provided by these systems are more accurate and robust than using biometrics that include data from only the iris or only the retina from a single eye. An exemplary embodiment emits photons to the iris and the retina of both eyes, an iris image sensor that captures an image of the iris when the iris reflects the emitted light, a retina image sensor that captures an image of the retina when the retina reflects the emitted light, and a controller that controls the iris and the retina illumination sources, where the captured image of the iris and the captured image of the retina contain biometric data.
