METHOD FOR VERIFYING THE IDENTITY OF A USER BY IDENTIFYING AN OBJECT WITHIN AN IMAGE THAT HAS A BIOMETRIC CHARACTERISTIC OF THE USER AND SEPARATING A PORTION OF THE IMAGE COMPRISING THE BIOMETRIC CHARACTERISTIC FROM OTHER PORTIONS OF THE IMAGE

摘要

A method for identifying a user using an image of an object of the user that has a biometric characteristic of the user, like a fingerprint or a set of fingerprints of fingertips, the method comprising: obtaining, by an optical sensor of a mobile device, the image of the object; providing the image or a part of the image to a neural network; processing the image or the part of the image by the neural network, comprising distinguishing, by the neural network, a portion of the image or the part of the image comprising the region of interest, ROI, from another portion of the image; extracting, from the image or the part of the image, the ROI; storing the portion comprising the ROI in a storage device and/or providing the portion comprising the ROI as input to an identification means, comprising extracting the biometric characteristic of the ROI and processing the extracted biometric characteristic in order to determine whether the extracted biometric characteristic identifies the user.
