Authentication and facial recognition through analysis of optometric prescription data

A method comprising:

• obtaining, by processing circuitry, a first image depicting a face of a person wearing eyewear and a reflection pattern generated by projecting first light onto a lens of the eyewear;
• determining, by the processing circuitry, that the first image includes an oversaturation region;
• obtaining, by the processing circuitry, a subsequent image depicting the face of the person wearing eyewear and a subsequent reflection pattern generated by projecting second light onto the lens of the eyewear captured using a notch filter;
• determining, by the processing circuitry, an optical parameter of the lens based on the first image and the subsequent image;
• receiving, by the processing circuitry and from an electronic database, a personal characteristic data relating to a previously identified person;
• comparing, by the processing circuitry, the optical parameter of the lens to the personal characteristic data;
• and
• determining, by the processing circuitry and based on the comparison, a score indicative of a match between the person wearing eyewear and the previously identified person.

A computing system comprising:

• one or more processors implemented in circuitry and in communication with a storage device, the one or more processors configured to:
• receive, from an image capture device, a first image depicting a face of a person wearing eyewear and a first reflection pattern generated by projecting a first structured light pattern onto a lens of the eyewear with a predetermined intensity for predetermined amount of time configured to cause a photochromic response of the lens, wherein the first structured light pattern comprises a diffuse and broadband light pattern;
• receive, from the image capture device, a second image depicting the face of the person wearing the eyewear and a second reflection pattern generated by projecting a second structured light pattern onto the lens of the eyewear after the predetermined amount of time;
• determine one or more optical parameters of the lens based on the first image and the second image, wherein at least one of:
• the one or more optical parameters comprise a transmissivity of the lens and the one or more processors are configured to determine the transmissivity of the lens based on the first reflection pattern and the second reflection pattern, or
• the one or more optical parameters comprise a photochromism of the lens and the one or more processors are configured to determine the photochromism of the lens based on the transmissivity of the lens;
• receive, from an electronic database, a personal characteristic data relating to a previously identified person;
• compare the one or more optical parameters of the lens to the personal characteristic data;
• and
• determine, based on the comparison, a score indicative of a match between the person wearing eyewear and the previously identified person.
