Abstract
The present invention comprises capturing an image of a subject to be authenticated; a step of face verification; followed by the process steps of a scan line detection test, a specular reflection detection test, and a chromatic moment and color diversity feature analysis test in no particular order. The method requires a subject to present her face before a camera, which can be the built-in or peripheral camera of e.g. a mobile communication device or a mobile computing device. The method also requires displaying to the subject certain instructions and the real-time video feedback of the subject face on a display screen, which can be the built-in or peripheral display screen of the mobile communication device or mobile computing device.
