Interactive based on said set steps of authentication methods for the recognition of a person. During authentication, a previously stored enrollment image is presented on a display to the person. A candidate person is instructed to present a reproduced image of the same scene and/or object to a camera while the person is holding the camera (mobile camera for example) unsupported in free space with respect to the scene or object. Alternatively the user can hold the object unsupported in free space with respect the camera using the camera, a candidate image of the viewed scene or object is captured and presented with the previously stored enrollment image. The candidate person aligns the candidate image with the previously stored enrollment image. On alignment, the candidate image is verified as an authentic image of the person and the candidate person is authenticated as the person previously enrolled. The motivation of the invention is that once a person authenticates and the data alignment is accurate as in the registration. The needed CPU resources decreases dramatically and the level of authentication is increased in few magnitudes.
