Abstract
Example apparatus disclosed herein includes a grouper to generate a first presence indication based on a threshold number of segments of image data including patterns of light values corresponding to a first human pulse. Disclosed example apparatus also include a face identifier to identify a first location associated with a human face in an environment associated with the image data based on thermal imaging data from a thermal imaging device, and output the first location associated with the human face in the environment associated with the image data.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a grouper to generate a first presence indication based on a threshold number of segments of image data including patterns of light values corresponding to a first human pulse;
- and
- a face identifier to:
- identify a first location associated with a human face in an environment associated with the image data based on thermal imaging data from a thermal imaging device;
- and
- output the first location associated with the human face in the environment associated with the image data.
A non-transitory computer readable processor medium comprising instructions which, when executed, cause a processor to at least:
- generate a first presence indication based on a threshold number of segments of image data including patterns of light values corresponding to a first human pulse;
- identify a first location associated with a human face in an environment associated with the image data based on thermal imaging data from a thermal imaging device;
- and
- output the first location associated with the human face in the environment associated with the image data.
A method comprising:
- generating, by executing an instruction with a processor, a first presence indication based on a threshold number of segments of image data including patterns of light values corresponding to a first human pulse;
- identifying, by executing an instruction with the processor, a first location associated with a human face in an environment associated with the image data based on thermal imaging data from a thermal imaging device;
- and
- outputting, by executing an instruction with the processor, the first location associated with the human face in the environment associated with the image data.
