Abstract
A person identifying apparatus calculates suitability as a reference for improving a face identification rate of an identical person appeared in frames of a moving image on the frame-to-frame basis, selects a frame from the moving image using the suitability, calculates a feature value from the selected frame, and identifies the face of the person on the basis of a similarity between the feature value and a feature value of a reference frame selected in advance using the suitability.
Claims8
A person identifying apparatus comprising:
- a selecting unit configured to calculate a suitability as a reference for improving a face identification rate of an identical person appeared in frames of a moving image on the frame-to-frame basis and select a frame from the moving image using the suitability;
- and
- an identifying unit configured to calculate a feature value from the selected frame and identify the face of the person on the basis of a similarity between the feature value and a feature value of a reference frame selected in advance using the suitability.
A person identifying program stored in a computer readable media, the program causing a computer to realize the instructions of:
- calculating suitability as a reference for improving a face identification rate of an identical person appeared in frames of a moving image on the frame-to-frame basis and selecting a frame from the moving image using the suitability;
- and
- calculating a feature value from the selected frame and identifying the face of the person on the basis of a similarity between the feature value and a feature value of a reference frame selected in advance using the suitability.
A person identifying method comprising:
- calculating suitability as a reference for improving a face identification rate of an identical person appeared in frames of a moving image on the frame-to-frame basis and selecting a frame from the moving image using the suitability;
- and
- calculating a feature value from the selected frame and identifying the face of the person on the basis of a similarity between the feature value and a feature value of a reference frame selected in advance using the suitability.
