Face authenticating apparatus and entrance and exit management apparatus
First Claim
1. A face identification apparatus for, by the time a moving person reaches a specific position, identifying the face of the person, the apparatus comprising:
- a camera which captures images including at least a face of the moving person;
a face detector module which detects face regions of the person from the images captured by the camera;
a face identification module which compares images of the face regions detected by the face detector module with dictionary entries which have been registered in advance, thereby determining whether or not the person has been registered in advance; and
a face identification display module installed in the vicinity of the camera, the display module displaying the current state of the face identification with respect to the moving person, wherein the camera captures the frontal face images of the person moving to the specific position while the person is viewing the face identification display module.

Abstract
A pedestrian moves in a direction indicated by the arrow “a”, and the face of the pedestrian M facing a door provided in an entrance and exit target area is captured by cameras. Specifically, while the pedestrian M exists between a position C and a position A in the walking area, an image including at least a face of the pedestrian M is captured as an image by the cameras. While the pedestrian M reaches the door from the position A, it is determined whether or not the pedestrian M is a person who has been registered in advance, based on the captured image. In the case where the determination result is affirmative, the door is opened.

14. A face identification apparatus for, by the time a moving person reaches a specific position, identifying the face of the person, the apparatus comprising:
-
a camera which captures images including at least a face of the moving person;
a face detector module which detects face regions of the person from the images captured by the camera;
a face identification module which compares the images of the face regions detected by the face detector module with dictionary entries which have been registered in advance, thereby determining whether or not the person has been registered in advance;
a face identification display module installed in the vicinity of the camera, the display module displaying the current state of the face identification with respect to the moving person; and
a face distance measuring module which calculates a distance of the moving person from the specific position, wherein the camera is installed at a position at which the face of the person moving to the specific position is captured as images from a frontal face while the person is viewing the face identification display module, and wherein the face identification display module changes display images based on the result of the face distance measuring module. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. An entrance and exit management apparatus for, by the time a moving person reaches an entrance and exit gate provided in an entrance and exit target area, identifying the face of the person, and controlling the entrance and exit gate to be opened or closed based on a result of the face identification module, the management apparatus comprising:
-
a camera which captures images including at least a face of the moving person;
a face detector module which detects face regions of the person from the images captured by the camera;
a face identification module which compares the image regions of the face detected by the face detector module with dictionary entries which have been registered in advance, thereby determining whether or not the person has been registered in advance;
a face identification display module provided in the vicinity of the camera, the display module displaying the current state of face identification with respect to the moving person; and
gate control means for controlling the entrance and exit gate to be opened or closed based on a result of the face identification module, wherein the camera is installed at so that the face of the person moving to the entrance and exit gate is captured as images from a frontal face while the person is viewing the face identification display module. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)
