System and method of face recognition using proportions of learned model
First Claim
1. A method for classifying facial image data, the method comprising the steps of:
- a) training a classifier device for recognizing one or more facial images and obtaining corresponding learned models the facial images used for training;
b) inputting a vector including data representing a portion of an unknown facial image to be recognized into said classifier;
c) classifying said portion of said unknown facial image according to a classification method;
d) repeating step b) and c) using a different portion of said unknown facial image at each iteration; and
, e) identifying a single class result from said different portions input to said classifier.

Abstract
A system and method for classifying facial image data, the method comprising the steps of: training a classifier device for recognizing one or more facial images and obtaining corresponding learned models the facial images used for training; inputting a vector including data representing a portion of an unknown facial image to be recognized into the classifier; classifying the portion of the unknown facial image according to a classification method; repeating inputting and classifying steps using a different portion of the unknown facial image at each iteration; and, identifying a single class result from the different portions input to the classifier.

11. An apparatus for classifying facial image data comprising:
-
a classifier device trained for recognizing one or more facial images and generating corresponding learned models associated with the facial images used for training;
means for iteratively inputting a vector each including data representing a portion of an unknown facial image to be recognized into said classifier, a different image portion being input to said classifier at each iteration, said classifier device classifying each said portion of said unknown facial image according to a classification method;
means for identifying a single class result from said different portions input to said classifier. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
