Abstract
A face recognition and/or verification system including the step of registering a persons actual face wherein an image of the actual face is captured and synthesized to create a plurality of face prototypes, and wherein the face prototypes are stored for later analysis and comparison with a captured image to be recognised or verified.
Claims37
A face recognition and/or verification system including the step of registering a persons actual face wherein an image of said actual face is captured and synthesized to create a plurality of face prototypes, wherein said face prototypes are stored for later analysis and comparison with a captured image to be recognised or verified, and wherein at least one of translational, rotational and scalar transformations is applied to the captured actual face image for normalization thereof.
A facial prototype synthesis system wherein an image of a persons actual face is initially normalized by applying at least one of translational, rotational and scalar transformations thereto for subsequently creating a plurality of face prototypes, said face prototypes representing possible appearances of said actual face under various lighting conditions, varying facial expressions, varying facial orientations, and/or modeling errors, and wherein said face prototypes are stored for later use
A facial prototype synthesis system wherein an image of a persons actual face is normalised by applying at least one of translational, rotational and scalar transformations to the captured actual face image, and synthesized by determining possible alternative eye positions and applying at least one mask to said image to create a plurality of face prototypes, and wherein said face prototypes represent possible appearances of said actual face under various lighting conditions, varying facial expressions, varying facial orientations, and/or modeling errors.
