Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of verifying that (or determining whether) a biometric feature of a live human is present. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method of verifying that (or determining whether) a biometric feature of a live human is present for use as part of a biometric recognition system and/or method. In particular, the invention relates to a method 100 of determining whether a biometric feature of a live human is present, comprising: using a camera 106, capturing 202 visual data of a presented biometric feature; transmitting 204 a signal towards the biometric feature; using a sensor 108, capturing 206 data related to a reflected signal from the presented biometric feature; and determining 208 whether the visual data and the reflected signal data relate to a biometric feature having realistic dimensions thereby to determine 210 that a live biometric feature is present.
