System and method for face capture and matching
First Claim
1. A face capture and matching system comprising:
- a non-transitory machine readable storage medium storing machine readable instructions to;
receive captured images of an area monitored by an image capture device;
detect at least one face in the captured images;
track movement of the at least one detected face in the area monitored by the image capture device;
based on the at least one tracked detected face, select at least one image from the captured images to be used for identifying the at least one tracked detected face; and
select at least one fusion technique to identify the at least one tracked detected face using the at least one selected image;
selectively queue selected ones of the captured images to process the selected ones of the captured images based on a determination of whether a predetermined number of the at least one detected face for movement tracking exceeds a specified threshold; and
a processor to implement the machine readable instructions.

Abstract
According to an example, a face capture and matching system may include a memory storing machine readable instructions to receive captured images of an area monitored by an image capture device, and detect one or more faces in the captured images. The memory may further store machine readable instructions to track movement of the one or more detected faces in the area monitored by the image capture device, and based on the one or more tracked detected faces, select one or more images from the captured images to be used for identifying the one or more tracked detected faces. The memory may further store machine readable instructions to select one or more fusion techniques to identify the one or more tracked detected faces using the one or more selected images. The face capture and matching system may further include a processor to implement the machine readable instructions.

15. A method for face capture and matching, the method comprising:
-
receiving captured images of an area monitored by an image capture device; detecting at least one face in the captured images; tracking movement of the at least one detected face in the area monitored by the image capture device by determining that the at least one tracked detected face is of a same person if the at least one tracked detected face is located within a predetermined distance in consecutive captured images, and increase or decrease the predetermined distance based on an image capture rate of the image capture device, determining that the at least one tracked detected face is of the same person if the at least one tracked detected face is located along a calculated direction of movement in the consecutive captured images, or determining that the at least one tracked detected face is of the same person based on a size of the at least one tracked detected face in the consecutive captured images; based on the at least one tracked detected face, selecting at least one image from the captured images to be used for identifying the at least one tracked detected face; and selecting, by a processor, at least one fusion technique to identify the at least one tracked detected face using the at least one selected image. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)

19. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a computer executable program to provide face capture and matching, the computer executable program when executed causes a computer system to:
-
receive captured images of an area monitored by an image capture device; detect at least one face in the captured images; track movement of the at least one detected face in the area monitored by the image capture device; based on the at least one tracked detected face, select at least one image from the captured images to be used for identifying the at least one tracked detected face; and select, by a processor, at least one fusion technique to identify the at least one tracked detected face using the at least one selected image by using a matching template fusion technique based on a combination of a plurality of frontal faces to generate a fused matching template to identify the at least one tracked detected face. - View Dependent Claims (20)
