Abstract
A face imaging device incudes a casing defining an interior space and an opening, at least one light source, at least one sensor configured to detect real-time face orientation, at least one camera, at least one display configured to display symbology associated with face orientation, and a controller configured to display fixed symbology indicating a desired face orientation, display movable symbology indicating a real-time orientation of the face to be imaged, and image the face when the movable symbology aligns with the fixed symbology.
Claims20
A face imaging device, comprising:
- a casing defining an interior space and an opening for positioning a face to be imaged;
- at least one light source disposed in the interior space and configured to illuminate the face to be imaged;
- at least one sensor disposed in the interior space and configured to detect an orientation of the face to be imaged;
- at least one camera disposed in the interior space and configured to capture at least one image of the face;
- at least one display disposed in the interior space and configured to display symbology associated with the orientation of the face to be imaged;
- and
- a controller operably coupled to the at least one sensor, the at least one camera, and the at least one display, the controller including at least one processor configured to:
- display, by the at least one display, fixed symbology indicating a desired face orientation;
- display, by the at least one display, movable symbology indicating a real-time orientation of the face to be imaged;
- and
- image, by the at least one camera, the face when the movable symbology aligns with the fixed symbology.

A face imaging device, comprising:
- a casing defining an opening for positioning a face to be imaged;
- a chin support extending from the casing and configured to constrain movement of the face to be imaged in at least three degrees of freedom;
- at least one light source mounted to the casing and configured to illuminate the face to be imaged;
- at least one camera mounted to the casing and configured to detect an orientation of the face to be imaged and capture at least one image of the face;
- at least one display mounted to the casing and configured to display symbology associated with the orientation of the face to be imaged;
- and
- a controller operably coupled to the at least one camera and the at least one display, the controller including at least one processor configured to:
- display, by the at least one display, fixed symbology indicating a desired face orientation;
- display, by the at least one display, movable symbology indicating a real-time orientation of the face to be imaged;
- and
- image, by the at least one camera, the face when the movable symbology corresponds to the fixed symbology.

A method for imaging a face, the method comprising:
- providing a face imaging device comprising:
- a casing defining an interior space and an opening for positioning a face to be imaged;
- at least one light source disposed in the interior space and configured to illuminate the face to be imaged;
- at least one sensor disposed in the interior space and configured to detect an orientation of the face to be imaged;
- at least one camera disposed in the interior space and configured to capture at least one image of the face;
- at least one display disposed in the interior space and configured to display symbology associated with the orientation of the face to be imaged;
- and
- a controller operably coupled to the at least one sensor, the at least one camera, and the at least one display, the controller including at least one processor;
- positioning a face at the opening of the casing;
- illuminating, by the at least one light source, the face;
- detecting, by the at least one sensor, the real-time orientation of the face;
- displaying, by the at least one display, fixed symbology indicating a desired face orientation;
- displaying, by the at least one display, movable symbology indicating the detected real-time orientation of the face;
- and
- imaging, by the at least one camera, the face when the movable symbology aligns with the fixed symbology.
