Apple的人臉辨識專利

根據USPTO公開的專利顯示,Apple又申請了一個人臉辨識的專利,它用最低的系統效能,即可在室內或室外的場合中,成功做到臉部辨識的功能。這個專利技術,如果未來用到iPhone上,不知道會對HTC、Samsung...等手機業者造成什麼效應?值得後續持續關注。

Title : Low Threshold Face Recognition
Filing Date : 2010.6.29.
Application Date : 2011.12.29.
Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, are disclosed for reducing the impact of lighting conditions and biometric distortions, while providing a low-computation solution for reasonably effective (low threshold) face recognition. In one aspect, the methods include processing a captured image of a face of a user seeking to access a resource by conforming a subset of the captured face image to a reference model. The reference model corresponds to a high information portion of human faces. The methods further include comparing the processed captured image to at least one target profile corresponding to a user associated with the resource, and selectively recognizing the user seeking access to the resource based on a result of said comparing.
