Image processing apparatus for facial recognition

摘要

An apparatus including an image capture device including a lens, a shutter, an image sensor, and an aperture is provided. The image capture device receives, via the lens, a plurality of images. The apparatus further includes a display, a memory, a receiver, a transmitter, and a processor. The receiver receives facial recognition data. The transmitter transmits an instruction to capture a series of images via the image capture device. The series of images may include a randomly generated pose. The apparatus further includes a processor to analyze the facial recognition data to determine an estimated age of a user.

主权项

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
an image capture device for capturing a plurality of images of a user; a memory storing at least one data array including pupil distance in correspondence with age information; a processor configured to generate a random facial pose; a transmitter configured to transmit instructions to the user, including an instruction to pose for the image capture device in a first facial configuration for capturing a first image and to pose in a second facial configuration for capturing a second image, wherein the first facial configuration is different than the second facial configuration, and one of the first and second facial configurations corresponds to the randomly generated facial pose; a receiver configured to receive facial image information based on the plurality of images captured by the image capture apparatus, said facial image information comprising: the first image of the user; the second image of the user; and one or more feature inputs corresponding to one or more facial features, wherein at least one of the one or more of the feature inputs corresponds to an age-indicator; wherein the processor determines, based on the facial image information: a positive detection of an image of the user's full face in the first and second images; whether the pose of the user in first image corresponds to the first facial configuration and the pose of the user in the second image corresponds to the second facial configuration; whether the pose corresponding to the first facial configuration was maintained for a first predetermined amount of time; and whether the pose corresponding to the second facial configuration was maintained for a second predetermined amount of time.
