Patent ID: 8260008

Claim:
A method of biometric recognition, comprising the steps of: acquiring, by an image-capturing device, at least one image of a face and at least one image of an iris of an individual; determining at least one imaging parameter from the images; comparing the at least one imaging parameter determined from the images to at least one predetermined expected imaging parameter, wherein if the at least one imaging parameter determined from the images is significantly different from the at least one predetermined expected imaging parameter, then it is determined that the images do not form an expected sequence, said comparing step comprising determining if accumulated motion vectors of the images is consistent with an expected set of motion vectors, said comparing step performed at the same time as the acquiring step, wherein if said comparing step detects inconsistent accumulated motion vectors, the acquiring step is ceased and an error message is generated; and if the images are determined to form an expected sequence, associating the face and iris images together.
