Abstract

An optical identification method, includes: projecting light on a finger to generate reflected light from the finger; receiving the reflected light by a pixel sensing array to obtain a plurality of finger images; and determining whether the finger images present a liveness characteristic, according to a required exposure time or average brightness of the finger images obtained by the pixel sensing array. When the finger images present the liveness characteristic, the optical identification method further includes: determining identification information according to the finger images; or when the finger images do not present the liveness characteristic, the optical identification method further includes: not determining identification information according to the finger images, and optionally, stopping the pixel sensing array from obtaining a subsequent finger image.
