Abstract
The technology described in this document can be embodied in a method that includes obtaining, by one or more image acquisition devices, a first image of a portion of a human body under illumination by electromagnetic radiation in a first wavelength range, and obtaining a second image of the portion of the human body under illumination by electromagnetic radiation in a second wavelength range. The method also includes generating, by one or more processing devices, a third image or template that combines information from the first image with information from the second image. The method also includes determining that one or more metrics representing a similarity between the third image and a template satisfy a threshold condition, and responsive to determining that the one or more metrics satisfy a threshold condition, providing access to the secure system.
