METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FACIAL RECOGNITION
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of facial recognition, comprising:
- receiving a plurality of images of an observed face for identification;
generating a template of the observed face based at least on two or more selected images of the plurality of images;
searching a database of identities and corresponding facial data of known persons, the searching being based at least on the template of the observed face and the facial data of the known persons; and
selecting one or more identities of the known persons based at least on the search.

Abstract
Apparatus and methods for facial detection are disclosed. A plurality of images of an observed face is received for identification. Based at least on two or more selected images of the plurality of images, a template of the observed face is generated. In some embodiments, the template is a subspace generated based on feature vectors of the plurality of received images. A database of identities and corresponding facial data of known persons is searched based at least on the template of the observed face and the facial data of the known persons. One or more identities of the known persons are selected based at least on the search.

16. A facial recognition apparatus, comprising:
-
an image receiver module including instructions that configure a processor to receive a plurality of images of an observed face for identification; a template module including instructions that configure the processor to generate a template of the observed face based at least on two or more selected images of the plurality of images; a search module including instructions that configure the processor to search a database of identities and corresponding facial data of known persons, the searching being based at least on the template of the observed face and the facial data of the known persons; and a recognition module including instructions that configure the processor to select one or more identities of the known persons based at least on the search. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)
