METHODS, APPARATUSES AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR EFFICIENTLY RECOGNIZING FACES OF IMAGES ASSOCIATED WITH VARIOUS ILLUMINATION CONDITIONS

摘要

An apparatus for recognizing faces with different illuminations may include a processor and memory storing executable computer program code causing the apparatus to at least perform operations including detecting and extracting face data of a first candidate face of a first image and a second candidate face of a second image. The first image is associated with a first light intensity and the second image associated with a second light intensity different from the first light intensity. The computer program code may further cause the apparatus to analyze face data to determine whether the first candidate face corresponds to an area in the first image that is substantially the same as an area of the second candidate face and evaluate data of the first and second areas to determine whether the first and second candidate faces are valid or invalid faces. Corresponding methods and computer program products are also provided.

1. A method comprising:
detecting and extracting face data corresponding to at least a first candidate face of a first image and a second candidate face of a second image, the first image is associated with a first light intensity and the second image is associated with a second light intensity that is different from the first light intensity; analyzing the face data to determine whether the first candidate face corresponds to a first area in the first image that is substantially the same as a second area of the second candidate face in the second image; and evaluating, via a processor, data associated with the first and second areas to determine whether the first and second candidate faces are valid faces or invalid faces of at least one individual.
