GESICHTSBILDERZEUGUNGSSYSTEM ZUR BILDAUFNAHME UND AUTOMATISIERTE BESTÄTIGUNG DER IDENTITÄT

摘要

A face imaging system (10) for recordal and/or automated identity confirmation of a target using a face recognition system includes a camera unit (20) having a camera unit controller (40) and a video camera (21) for capturing images of the target and sending said target images to the camera unit controller. The camera unit controller (40) has a face detection system (46) configured to detect a face image within said target images and a face image capture system (48) which assess the quality of the face image and captures the face image when its quality is sufficient for face recognition as required by the face recognition system. In preferred embodiments, the camera unit includes a rotatable mirror system (25) for directing images of a security area into the video camera and the system has a ranging unit (30) for detecting the presence of a target and for providing target range data, comprising distance, angle and width information, to the camera unit controller.
