METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INFERRING FACIAL COMPOSITE

摘要

Provided is a method and apparatus for inferring a facial composite, whereby user's designation regarding at least one point of a facial image is received, facial feature information are extracted based on the received user's designation, a facial type that coincides with the extracted facial feature information is searched from a facial composite database to generate a face shape model based on the searched facial type and an initial facial composite model having a facial type similar to a face of the facial image from a low-resolution facial image through which face recognition or identification cannot be accurately performed is provided, so that the face shape model contributes to criminal arrest and a low-resolution facial image captured by a surveillance camera can be more efficiently used.

1. A method of inferring a facial composite comprising:
receiving user's designation regarding at least one point of a facial image; extracting facial feature information regarding a predetermined item so as to identify the facial image based on the received users designation; searching a facial type that coincides with the extracted facial feature information using a support vector machine (SVM) from a facial composite database in which feature information according to facial type have been already learned through the SVM and are classified in a hierarchical structure having a plurality of levels and are stored; and generating a facial composite for generating a face shape model based on the searched facial type.
