Biometric identification

This invention describes a security system that identifies you by analyzing images. It captures an image of a unique physical trait, like your face or fingerprint, and also obtains an image containing identifying information, such as your name or an ID number. These two pieces of information might come from the same picture or separate ones. The system then extracts both the physical trait and the identifier from these images, uses the identifier to find your stored biometric data, and compares it to the physical trait it just saw to confirm your identity.

Why it matters: Filed before modern AI significantly advanced image recognition and feature extraction. The reliability and speed of extracting both biometric features and identifiers from diverse image data, as claimed, are now far more achievable and robust.
