Driver identification based on face data
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for identifying a driver, comprising:
- an image capturing device for capturing a first image during vehicle operation and of an expected driver location;
a processor configured to;
detect a face of a driver in the first image;
determine a quality score for the first image;
in the event the quality score of the first image is determined to exceed a pre-determined threshold, determine a set of face data from the first image;
determine a confidence index for the determined the set of face data, wherein the confidence index indicates a degree of confidence that the set of face data is likely to support correct driver identification;
in the event the confidence index meets a confidence threshold, identify the driver based at least in part on the set of face data; and
a memory coupled to the processor and configured to provide the processor with instructions.

Abstract
A system for identifying a driver comprises an image capturing device, a processor, and a memory. The image is captured during vehicle operation and of an expected driver location. The processor is configured to detect a face of a driver in the image, determine a set of face data from the image, and identify the driver based at least in part on the set of face data. The memory is coupled to the processor and configured to provide the processor with instructions.

19. A method for identifying a driver, comprising:
-
capturing a first image during vehicle operation of an expected driver location; detecting a face of a driver in the first image; determining a quality score for the first image; in the event the quality score of the first image is determined to exceed a pre-determined threshold, determining a set of face data from the first image; determining a confidence index for the determined the set of face data, wherein the confidence index indicates a degree of confidence that the set of face data is likely to support correct driver identification; and in the event the confidence index meets a confidence threshold, identifying the driver based at least in part on the set of face data.

20. A computer program product for identifying driver, the computer program product being embodied in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:
-
capturing a first image during vehicle operation of an expected driver location; detecting a face of a driver in the first image; determining a quality score for the first image; in the event the quality score of the first image is determined to exceed a pre-determined threshold, determining a set of face data from the first image; determining a confidence index for the determined the set of face data, wherein the confidence index indicates a degree of confidence that the set of face data is likely to support correct driver identification; and in the event the confidence index meets a confidence threshold, identifying the driver based at least in part on the set of face data.
