FACE AUTHENTICATION APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240338967 titled 'FACE AUTHENTICATION APPARATUS
The abstract describes a face authentication apparatus that includes a face image acquisition unit, a collation unit, a flow rate measurement unit, and a security level determination unit.
- The face image acquisition unit captures a user's face image as they move through a gate between two areas.
- The collation unit performs face authentication based on the acquired face image.
- The flow rate measurement unit measures the flow rates of users moving through the gate in both directions.
- The security level determination unit uses the flow rates to determine the security levels of the two areas.
Potential Applications: - Access control systems in secure facilities - Border control and immigration checkpoints - Secure entry points in public transportation hubs
Problems Solved: - Enhancing security by using face authentication - Monitoring and controlling the flow of users between areas - Improving access control measures in high-security environments
Benefits: - Increased security and accuracy in authentication processes - Efficient monitoring of user movement between areas - Enhanced control over access to restricted areas
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Face Authentication System for Secure Access Control" This technology can be used in airports, government buildings, corporate offices, and other high-security facilities to improve access control and enhance overall security measures.
Questions about Face Authentication Technology: 1. How does the flow rate measurement unit contribute to the security level determination process? The flow rate measurement unit helps in analyzing the movement patterns of users between areas, which in turn assists in determining the security levels of those areas.
2. What are the key advantages of using face authentication in access control systems? Face authentication provides a high level of security as it is difficult to forge or replicate, ensuring only authorized individuals are granted access to restricted areas.
Original Abstract Submitted
a face authentication apparatus includes a face image acquisition unit that acquires, as a first face image, a face image of a user who moves from a first area to a second area via a gate provided between the first area and the second area, a collation unit that performs face authentication, a flow rate measurement unit that measures a flow rate of users who move from the first area to the second area via the gate and a flow rate of users who move from the second area to the first area via the gate, and a security level determination unit that determines the security level of the first area and the security level of the second area on the basis of the flow rates measured.
