Estimating the term…
A technique is provided for recognizing faces in an image stream using a digital image acquisition device. A first acquired image is received from an image stream. A first face region is detected within the first acquired image having a given size and a respective location within the first acquired image. First faceprint data uniquely identifying the first face region are extracted along with first peripheral region data around the first face region. The first faceprint and peripheral region data are stored, and the first peripheral region data are associated with the first face region. The first face region is tracked until a face lock is lost. A second face region is detected within a second acquired image from the image stream. Second peripheral region data around the second face region are extracted. The second face region is identified upon matching the first and second peripheral region data.
A method of recognizing a face in an acquired digital image, comprising:
One or more non-transitory processor-readable storage media having code embedded therein for programming a processor to perform a method of recognizing a face in an acquired digital image, wherein the method comprises:
A portable, digital image acquisition device, comprising a lens and image sensor for acquiring digital images, a processor, and a non-transitory processor-readable medium having code embedded therein for programming the processor to perform a method of recognizing a face in an acquired digital image, wherein the method comprises:
