Abstract
A method and apparatus for facial recognition by a computing device using an adaptive search window and regional similarity distribution analysis are disclosed herein.
Claims20
A method of facial recognition by a computing device, the method comprising:
- identifying, via a processor of the computing device, one or more features of a target image;
- matching, via the processor, at least one of the one or more features of the target image with one or more features of a reference image;
- determining, via the processor, a weighting contribution for the at least one matched feature;
- and
- determining, via the processor, a credibility of a facial recognition match based at least in part on the weighting contribution of the at least one matched feature, wherein said determining a weighting contribution comprises providing a higher weighting for the at least one matched feature based at least in part on a number of other matched features relative to the at least one matched feature.

An article including a non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions thereon, the instructions executable to:
- identify one or more features of a target image;
- match, using an adaptive window, at least one of the one or more features of the target image with one or more features of a reference image;
- determine a weighting contribution for the at least one matched feature;
- and
- determine a credibility of a facial recognition match based at least in part on the weighting contribution of the at least one matched feature.
2 more elements
A method comprising:
- matching, via a processor of a computing device, at least one feature of a target image with at least one feature of a reference image using an adaptive window;
- determining, via the processor, a weighting contribution for the matched at least one feature;
- and
- determining, via the processor, a credibility of a facial recognition match based at least in part on the weighting contribution of the at least one matched feature.
