INDIVIDUAL IDENTIFICATION APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17639433 titled 'INDIVIDUAL IDENTIFICATION APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an individual identification apparatus that uses a camera to capture images of a matching area on an object. The apparatus includes a setting means to adjust the imaging conditions, an acquisition means to obtain the matching image, a matching means to compare the matching image with a pre-registered image, and a control means to repeat the process while changing the imaging conditions until a matching degree reaches a predetermined threshold. The matching means then identifies the individual based on the matching image captured under the determined imaging condition.

  • Individual identification apparatus using a camera for capturing images
  • Setting means adjusts the imaging conditions for the camera
  • Acquisition means obtains a matching image of a specific area on an object
  • Matching means compares the matching image with a pre-registered image
  • Control means repeats the process while changing imaging conditions until a matching degree reaches a preset threshold
  • Identified individual based on the matching image captured under the determined imaging condition


Original Abstract Submitted

An individual identification apparatus includes a setting means for setting an imaging condition for imaging a matching area of an object by a camera, an acquisition means for acquiring a matching image that is an image obtained by imaging the matching area of the object by the camera, a matching means for performing matching between the matching image and a registration image registered in advance, and a control means. The control means repeats processing of acquiring the matching image by the acquisition means and matching between the matching image and the registration image by the matching means, while changing the imaging condition set by the setting means, and determines an imaging condition in which a matching degree between the matching image and the registration image becomes a preset threshold or larger. The matching means identifies an individual based on the matching image captured under the determined imaging condition.
