Image Processor Comprising Face Recognition System with Face Recognition Based on Two-Dimensional Grid Transform

Abstract

An image processing system comprises an image processor having image processing circuitry and an associated memory. The image processor is configured to implement a face recognition system utilizing the image processing circuitry and the memory, the face recognition system comprising a face recognition module. The face recognition module is configured to identify a region of interest in each of two or more images, to extract a three-dimensional representation of a head from each of the identified regions of interest, to transform the three-dimensional representations of the head into respective two-dimensional grids, to apply temporal smoothing to the two-dimensional grids to obtain a smoothed two-dimensional grid, and to recognize a face based on a comparison of the smoothed two-dimensional grid and one or more face patterns.
