Three-dimensional image authentication from multi-view images.

Abstract

Three-dimensional (3D) optical authentication is important for modern information security. Existing 3D optical authentication methods rely on integral imaging devices, necessitating meticulous calibration and incurring high transmission overhead. To streamline the acquisition of 3D information, this paper introduces a novel 3D optical authentication approach, to the best of our knowledge, based on the construction of 3D data from multi-view images. The proposed method simplifies 3D projection by generating fixed-viewpoint elemental images, eliminating the need for additional viewpoint information during transmission and authentication. Compressed sensing is used for compression during transmission, and a deep learning network is designed for 3D reconstruction, enhancing the recovery. Experimental outcomes confirm the efficiency of our proposed approach for 3D authentication across diverse datasets.
