Patent Images

1. An imaging device for producing optimal face images that combines the functionality of:

  • a. an imager consisting of sensing elements that can be individually addressed and controlled in real time b. a processor to effect such control c. an imager whose individually addressable sensing elements can be individually programmed for integration time, spectral sensitivity, dynamic range, frame rate, pixel binning, anti-bloom, amplifier gain and offset, and any other image quality or image generation parameter. d. An imager that provides for dynamic grouping of sensing elements for sub-window regions of interest and fast focus. e. software algorithms to find heads and faces, define and keep track of regions of interest containing faces, and dynamically and automatically optimize the critical imaging parameters for said regions containing faces.
