IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM, METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18470459 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM, METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an image processing apparatus that determines whether a person's face is occluded in an image and performs face authentication based on this determination.
- Determination unit analyzes face and posture information of individuals in an image to check for occlusion.
- Authentication unit conducts face authentication if no occlusion is detected.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in security systems, access control, and surveillance systems.
Problems Solved
This technology helps in improving the accuracy and reliability of face authentication systems by considering occlusion factors.
Benefits
The system enhances security measures by ensuring accurate face authentication even in complex scenarios with occlusions.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Enhancing Security with Face Authentication Technology"
Possible Prior Art
Prior art may include traditional face recognition systems that do not consider occlusion factors in authentication processes.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system handle multiple occlusions in a single image?
The abstract does not specify how the system deals with scenarios where multiple occlusions are present in the same image.
What is the computational complexity of the determination unit's analysis process?
The abstract does not provide information on the computational resources required for the determination unit's analysis process.
Original Abstract Submitted
There is provided with an image processing apparatus. A determination unit determines, based on at least one of first face information and first posture information of a first person detected from an image, and second posture information of a second person different from the first person, whether a face of the first person is occluded by part of the first person or part of the second person. An authentication unit performs face authentication of the first person, in a case where the determination unit determines that the face of the first person is not occluded by part of the first person or part of the second person.
