Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium for red eye detection are provided. In one aspect, a system includes an image acquisition device, first and second illuminators, and at least one processor. The first illuminator is arranged closer to the image acquisition device than the second illuminator. The image acquisition device is configured to capture a first facial image of a face of a subject with the first illuminator being on and the second illuminator being off and a second facial image of the face of the subject with the second illuminator being on and the first illuminator being off. The processor can process the first facial image based on the second facial image to determine whether at least one eye of the subject is live by determining that the first facial image includes a red eye reflection from the at least one eye.
