    摘要: A technique is provided for recognizing faces in an image stream using a digital image acquisition device. A first acquired image is received from an image stream. A first face region is detected within the first acquired image having a given size and a respective location within the first acquired image. First faceprint data uniquely identifying the first face region are extracted along with first peripheral region data around the first face region. The first faceprint and peripheral region data are stored, and the first peripheral region data are associated with the first face region. The first face region is tracked until a face lock is lost. A second face region is detected within a second acquired image from the image stream. Second peripheral region data around the second face region are extracted. The second face region is identified upon matching the first and second peripheral region data.

    摘要: A method for correcting a distorted input image includes determining a local region of an image to be displayed and dividing the region into an array of rectangular tiles, each tile corresponding to a distorted tile with a non-rectangular boundary within the input image. For each tile of the local region, maximum and minimum memory address locations of successive rows of the input image sufficient to span the boundary of the distorted tile are determined. Successive rows of the distorted input from between the maximum and minimum addresses are read. Distortion of the non-rectangular portion of the distorted input image is corrected to provide a tile of a corrected output image which is stored.

    摘要: A method of automatically determining a need to service a digital image acquisition system including a digital camera with a lens assembly includes analyzing pixels within one or more acquired digital images according to probability determinations that such pixels correspond to blemish artifacts. It is automatically determined whether a threshold distribution of blemish artifacts is present within one or more of the digital images. A need for service is indicated when at least the threshold distribution is determined to be present.

    摘要: A method of detecting and applying a vertical gaze direction of a face within a digital image includes analyzing one or both eyes of a face within an acquired image, including determining a degree of coverage of an eye ball by an eye lid within the digital image. Based on the determined degree of coverage of the eye ball by the eye lid, an approximate direction of vertical eye gaze is determined. A further action is selected based on the determined approximate direction of vertical eye gaze.

    摘要: A system and method for reducing noise in images is disclosed. The present invention reduces noise and preserves contrast of an image to be displayed, the image having pixels, by (1) comparing a value of a first pixel to values of a set of other pixels; (2) comparing values of pixels neighboring the first pixel to values of further pixels neighboring the set of other pixels; (3) determining, for each pixel in the set of other pixels, a weight based on results of steps (1) and (2); (4) calculating a de-noised pixel value based on the weights of each pixel in the set of other pixels; and (5) replacing the value of the first pixel with the de-noised pixel value.

    摘要: In an embodiment, a device comprises a plurality of elements configured to apply a filter to multiple groups of pixels in a neighborhood of pixels surrounding a particular pixel to generate a matrix of filtered values; compute, from the matrix of filtered values, a first set of gradients along a first direction and a second set of gradients along a second and different direction; determine how many directional changes are experienced by the gradients in the first set of gradients and the gradients in the second set of gradients; compute a first weighted value for a first direction and a second weighted value for a second direction; and based, at least in part, upon the first and second weighted values, compute an overall texture characterization value for the particular pixel, wherein the overall texture characterization value indicates a type of image environment in which the particular pixel is located.
