A security check system using face ID sensing for secure access to an electronic platform, the security check system comprising: a light source configured to provide a light beam to be incident on an object; a camera disposed adjacent the light source and configured to form an image of the object while the light beam is incident on the object; a computer memory configured to store face ID data of an authorized person, the face ID data being generated from one or more images of a face of the authorized person acquired by the camera during a registration process; and a processing module coupled to the camera and the computer memory, the processing module configured to: analyze the image of the object to extract facial signatures and to determine whether there exists an indication of a retro-reflection of the light beam incident on the object; compare the facial signatures to the face ID data to determine whether a match exists between the facial signatures and the face ID data; in response to determining that the match exists between the facial signatures and the face ID data and the indication of the retro-reflection exists, grant access to the electronic platform; and in response to determining that the match does not exist between the facial signatures and the face ID data or the indication of the retro-reflection does not exist, deny access to the electronic platform; wherein the camera and the light source are mounted on a frame of the electronic platform, the camera comprises an imaging lens configured such that the image of the object include modulations, the modulations comprise relatively large image aberrations and the image aberrations comprise one of the following: distortions, spherical aberration, coma, astigmatism, and field curvature. a light source configured to provide a light beam to be incident on an object; a camera disposed adjacent the light source and configured to form an image of the object while the light beam is incident on the object; a computer memory configured to store face ID data of an authorized person, the face ID data being generated from one or more images of a face of the authorized person acquired by the camera during a registration process; and a processing module coupled to the camera and the computer memory, the processing module configured to: analyze the image of the object to extract facial signatures and to determine whether there exists an indication of a retro-reflection of the light beam incident on the object; compare the facial signatures to the face ID data to determine whether a match exists between the facial signatures and the face ID data; in response to determining that the match exists between the facial signatures and the face ID data and the indication of the retro-reflection exists, grant access to the electronic platform; and in response to determining that the match does not exist between the facial signatures and the face ID data or the indication of the retro-reflection does not exist, deny access to the electronic platform; wherein the camera and the light source are mounted on a frame of the electronic platform, the camera comprises an imaging lens configured such that the image of the object include modulations, the modulations comprise relatively large image aberrations and the image aberrations comprise one of the following: distortions, spherical aberration, coma, astigmatism, and field curvature. analyze the image of the object to extract facial signatures and to determine whether there exists an indication of a retro-reflection of the light beam incident on the object; compare the facial signatures to the face ID data to determine whether a match exists between the facial signatures and the face ID data; in response to determining that the match exists between the facial signatures and the face ID data and the indication of the retro-reflection exists, grant access to the electronic platform; and in response to determining that the match does not exist between the facial signatures and the face ID data or the indication of the retro-reflection does not exist, deny access to the electronic platform; wherein the camera and the light source are mounted on a frame of the electronic platform, the camera comprises an imaging lens configured such that the image of the object include modulations, the modulations comprise relatively large image aberrations and the image aberrations comprise one of the following: distortions, spherical aberration, coma, astigmatism, and field curvature.
