IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE AND FACE DETECTION METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18332579 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE AND FACE DETECTION METHOD
Simplified Explanation
An image processing device with an improved face detection method uses background and foreground regions to identify target objects and reference positions for accurate detection.
Key Features and Innovation
- Background manager determines foreground and background regions based on image and depth map data.
- Target object manager calculates reference position by counting foreground pixels in a preset direction.
- Target object is detected within a region of interest based on the reference position and preset shape.
Potential Applications
This technology can be used in security systems, photography, video editing, and augmented reality applications.
Problems Solved
This technology addresses the challenge of accurately detecting and tracking faces or objects in images or videos.
Benefits
- Improved accuracy in face detection.
- Enhanced object tracking capabilities.
- Efficient processing of image data.
Commercial Applications
- Security systems for surveillance.
- Photography and video editing software.
- Augmented reality applications for interactive experiences.
Prior Art
There are existing methods for face detection and object tracking in image processing, but this technology offers improvements in accuracy and efficiency.
Frequently Updated Research
Ongoing research may focus on optimizing the algorithms used for face detection and object tracking in image processing.
Questions about Image Processing Device
Question 1
How does the background manager determine the foreground and background regions in the image processing device?
The background manager determines the foreground and background regions based on image data that includes pixel values of pixels in the image and depth map data that includes disparity values of the image pixels.
Question 2
What are some potential commercial applications of the image processing device with the improved face detection method?
Potential commercial applications include security systems for surveillance, photography and video editing software, and augmented reality applications for interactive experiences.
Original Abstract Submitted
An image processing device is provided, which has an improved face detection method. The image processing device may include a background manager, which determines a foreground region having a target object and a background region which excludes the target object based on image data that includes pixel values of pixels included in the image and depth map data that includes disparity values of the image pixels. A target object manager determines a reference position of the target object by counting foreground pixels included in the foreground region in a preset direction at a plurality of positions, and detecting the target object corresponding to a preset shape within a region of interest that is set based on the reference position.
