摘要:
A device and method for processing an image to create appearance and shape labeled images of a person or object captured within the image. The appearance and shape labeled images are unique properties of the person or object and can be used to re-identify the person or object in subsequent images. The appearance labeled image is an aggregate of pre-stored appearance labels that are assigned to image segments of the image based on calculated appearance attributes of each image segment. The shape labeled image is an aggregate of pre-stored shape labels that are assigned to image segments of the image based on calculated shape attributes of each image segment. An identifying descriptor of the person or object can be computed based on both the appearance labeled image and the shape labeled image. The descriptor can be compared with other descriptors of later captured images to re-identify a person or object.
摘要:
A biometric sample training device, a biometric sample quality assessment device, a biometric fusion recognition device, an integrated biometric fusion recognition system and example processes in which each may be used are described. Wavelets and a boosted classifier are used to assess the quality of biometric samples, such as facial images. The described biometric sample quality assessment approach provides accurate and reliable quality assessment values that are robust to various degradation factors, e.g., such as pose, illumination, and lighting in facial image biometric samples. The quality assessment values allow biometric samples of different sample types to be combined to support complex recognition techniques used by, for example, biometric fusion devices, resulting in improved accuracy and robustness in both biometric authentication and biometric recognition.

摘要:
A device and method for detecting targets of interest in an image, such as people or objects of a certain type. Targets are detected based on an optimized strong classifier descriptor that can be based on a combination of weak classifier descriptors. The weak classifier descriptors can include a user-defined weak classifier descriptor that is defined by a user to represent a shape or appearance attribute that is characteristic of parts of the target of interest. The strong classifier descriptor can be optimized by selecting a subset of weak classifier descriptors that exhibit improved performance in detecting targets in training images.

摘要:
A device and method for efficient computation of statistical information, such as a mean, co-variance, or histogram of the image pixels, over discrete image regions. The computation employs integral computations to determine the statistical information over image regions of arbitrary shape, including irregular polygonal shaped regions. The integral computations are simplified by categorizing corner points of boundaries of image regions. The computation can be applied to calculate descriptors or signatures of persons or objects within an image. The computation also has a low computational cost enabling fast calculation of image statistics.
