Abstract
The paper presents a brand new technique of performing human identification which is based on eye movements characteristic. Using this method, the system measures human’s eyes reaction for visual stimulation. The eyes of the person who is being identified follow the point on the computer screen and eye movement tracking system is used to collect information about eye movements during the experiment. The first experiments showed that it was possible to identify people by means of that method. The method scrutinized here has several significant advantages. It compiles behavioral and physiological aspects and therefore it is difficult to counterfeit and at the same time it is easy to perform. Moreover, it is possible to combine it with other camera-based techniques like iris or face recognition.
