Methods and systems are provided for performing a biometric measurement on
an individual. A purported skin site of the individual is illuminated
under a plurality of distinct optical conditions during a single
illumination session. Light scattered beneath a surface of the purported
skin site is received separately for each of the plurality of distinct
optical conditions. A multispectral image of the purported skin site is
derived from the received light. A biometric function is performed with
the derived multispectral image.
