DETECTING DEVICE, DETECTING METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18214930 Titled 'DETECTING DEVICE, DETECTING METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a device that can detect if a person is wearing a disguising mask. The device uses a light source to emit light onto the person's face and a camera to capture images of the reflected light in different wavelengths. A face detector then identifies the person's face region in the images. A determiner analyzes the luminance (brightness) of the face region and compares it to the expected luminance of skin. If the luminance values do not match the expected values for skin, the determiner concludes that the person is wearing a disguising mask.


Original Abstract Submitted

A light source () of a disguising mask detecting device () emits light at a person who is a subject. A camera () acquires images in multiple different wavelength ranges of reflected light of the light emitted at the person. A face detector () detects a face region of the person from the images acquired by the camera (). A determiner () determines that the person is wearing a disguising mask when luminances of the face region in the images satisfy specific relations different from relations exhibited by skin.
