Abstract
A method of preventing fraud and theft during automated teller machine (ATM) transactions includes recording a video stream using a camera mounted on or near the ATM, the camera being positioned to record the face of a user of the ATM and a background behind the user, providing a facial model database containing images of a large number of people taken from different angles, the facial model database containing images of unobscured faces as well as obscured faces, and receiving insertion of a bank card into the ATM. The method further includes comparing images captured from the recorded video stream with images contained in the facial model database, and producing a corresponding first face comparison result, and issuing a notice for the user to uncover the user's face when the first face comparison result indicates that the user's face is obscured.
