PERSON CENTRIC TRAIT SPECIFIC PHOTO MATCH RANKING ENGINE

摘要

In a face recognition system, a face classifier is configured to receive an input image, and analyze the input image to determine at least one specific trait. A feature extractor is configured to receive a plurality of data sets based on the determined specific trait, and generate a plurality of feature sets corresponding to the plurality of data sets, wherein respective ones of the feature sets include corresponding features extracted from respective ones of the data sets. A feature comparator is configured to receive a plurality of images from an image database, compare the input image against the plurality of images from the image database by using the plurality of feature sets generated by the feature extractor, and output a ranking of potential matches indicating a likelihood of a match between the input image and the plurality of images in the image database.
