20140254891 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REGISTERING FACE IMAGES, AND APPARATUS FOR INDUCING POSE CHANGE, AND APPARATUS FOR RECOGNIZING FACES - A face image registration apparatus comprising: a face video image acquiring unit configured to acquire a front face image and at least one or more moving video images corresponding to predefined face pose changes; a similarity measurement unit configured to measure a similarity of the acquired front face image and each of the acquired at least one or more moving video images; an image selection unit configured to select at least images from the at least one or more moving video images based on the measured similarities; | 09-11-2014 |
20140254892 | FACE RECOGNITION APPARATUS, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING USERS BASED ON USER GROUPING - A face recognition apparatus comprising: a database that stores face information mapped to each corresponding user; a face recognition unit configured to recognize the face information of a user; a user management unit configured to classify the face information into groups of the users of which the face information is not similar one another so that the users having the similar face information does not fall within the same groups to store the classified face information in the database. | 09-11-2014 |
20140286548 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IDENTIFYING FAKE FINGERPRINT - An apparatus for identifying a fake fingerprint, the apparatus comprising: a prism having a fingerprint contact surface with which a fingerprint comes in contacted; an internal light source configured to irradiate light from the inside of the prism; an external light source configured to irradiate light from the outside of the prism; an image sensor configured to acquire diffused light image by the internal light source and transmitted light image by the external light source; and a controller configured to compare the diffused light image and the transmitted light image acquired by the image sensor to determine whether the fingerprint is a fake fingerprint or not. | 09-25-2014 |
20140301599 | METHOD FOR FACE RECOGNITION - A method for a face recognition by a face recognition service server, includes receiving a face image that is photographed from a face registration terminal or a face recognition terminal; detecting a face area of the received face image; and quantifying at least one quality factor for the detected face area in order to determine whether the received face image is suitable as sample image required for face recognition. Further, the method includes selecting the received face image as the sample image required for the face recognition when the quality factor satisfies a predetermined quality criterion. | 10-09-2014 |
20140325641 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FACE RECOGNITION - An apparatus for a face recognition, includes an ID assigning unit configured to assign one ID to a user when registering the user so that the ID is mapped to the user; and a sub-ID assigning unit configured to respectively assign sub-IDs to face images of the user which are different from each other so that the sub-IDS are respectively mapped to the face images when the face images are registered. Further, the apparatus includes a mapping table creation unit configured to create a mapping table in which pairs of the ID and the respective sub-IDs are mapped; and an authentication unit configured to search the mapping table to authenticate the user to provide an authentication result, upon receipt of a request of a user authentication. | 10-30-2014 |
