Verifying presence of a person during an electronic visitation
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving a request to initiate an electronic visitation session;
capturing an image, with an image capture device, of a user to provide a captured image in response to the request;
performing a feature detection process, with a processor, on the captured image to verify that images of features of a corporeal human face are present in the captured image to determine whether an image of a corporeal human face is present in the captured image; and
connecting the electronic visitation session in response to a determination that an image of a corporeal human face is present in the captured image.

Abstract
Images of residents of a controlled-environment facility may be captured at the time of intake into the facility. A feature detection process may be performed on each image to verify that corporeal facial features are present in each resident image and a copy of such an image of each resident may be saved. A request to initiate an electronic visitation session may be received and an image of a user is captured. A feature detection process is performed on the captured image to verify that images of features of a corporeal human face are present in the captured image, determining whether an image of a corporeal human face is present in the captured image. The electronic visitation session may then be connected in response to a determination that an image of a corporeal human face is present. Further, a facial recognition process may also be performed on the captured image.

10. A video visitation apparatus comprising:
-
an image capture device configured to capture an image of a user, to provide a captured image of the user, in response to a request to initiate an electronic visitation session; a processing device coupled to the image capture device and configured to; perform a feature detection process on the captured image to detect images of corporeal human face features present in the captured image to verify that an image of a corporeal human face is present in the captured image; and connect the electronic visitation session in response to verification that an image of a corporeal human face is present in the captured image. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A computer readable non-transitory medium having program instructions stored thereon that upon execution by one or more computer systems, cause the one or more computer systems to:
-
receive a request to initiate an electronic visitation session; capture an image of a user to provide a captured image in response to the request; perform a feature detection process on the captured image to verify that images of features of a corporeal human face are present in the captured image to determine whether an image of a corporeal human face is present in the captured image; and connect the electronic visitation session in response to a determination that an image of a corporeal human face is present in the captured image. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
