Abstract
An embodiment vehicle includes a camera and a controller configured to determine a distance between the camera and a face of an object based on a face image acquired by the camera, perform an iris authentication based on the distance being shorter than a preset distance, and perform a face authentication based on the distance being greater than the preset distance.
Claims18
A vehicle comprising:
- a camera;
- a user interface;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- determine a distance between the camera and a face of an object based on a face image acquired by the camera;
- perform an iris authentication based on the distance being shorter than a preset distance;
- perform a face authentication based on the distance being greater than the preset distance;
- wherein the controller is configured to identify positions of eyes of the object in the face image and control the camera to zoom in on the positions of the eyes of the object to perform the iris authentication;
- and
- wherein, in response to a failure of the face authentication, the controller is configured to control the user interface to provide a visual feedback or an audible feedback for guiding the face of the object to approach the camera and perform the iris authentication after providing the visual feedback or the audible feedback.

A control method of a vehicle, the control method comprising:
- acquiring a face image of an object through a camera;
- and
- performing a face authentication or an iris authentication based on the face image, wherein performing the face authentication or the iris authentication comprises:
- determining a distance between the camera and a face of the object based on the face image;
- performing the iris authentication based on the distance being shorter than a preset distance;
- performing the face authentication based on the distance being greater than the preset distance;
- providing a visual feedback or an audible feedback for guiding the face of the object to approach the camera based on a failure of the face authentication;
- and
- performing the iris authentication after providing the visual feedback or the audible feedback, wherein performing the iris authentication comprises identifying positions of eyes of the object in the face image and performing the iris authentication after controlling the camera to zoom in on the positions of the eyes of the object.
6 more elements
A vehicle comprising:
- a camera;
- a user interface;
- a distance sensor having a detection direction corresponding to a field of view of the camera;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- determine a distance between the camera and a face of an object based on a face image acquired by the camera, the distance being determined from the distance sensor;
- detect eyes, a nose, and a mouth of the object based on the face image;
- perform an iris authentication based on the distance being shorter than a preset distance, the iris authentication being performed based on the eyes of the object being detected from the face image and the nose or the mouth of the object not being detected from the face image;
- and
- perform a face authentication based on the distance being greater than the preset distance;
- wherein the controller is configured to identify positions of eyes of the object in the face image and control the camera to zoom in on the positions of the eyes of the object to perform the iris authentication;
- and
- in response to a failure of the face authentication, the controller is configured to control the user interface to provide a visual feedback or an audible feedback for guiding the face of the object to approach the camera and perform the iris authentication after providing the visual feedback or the audible feedback.
