Patent Searching and Data


Title:
PATTERN RECOGNIZING/COLLATING DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3729581
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To accurately perform a collation to a person even about any face photograph by previously obtaining a conversion to make a model and a fluctuation amount be orthogonal to each other from many face pictures and face photographs, extracting a characteristic using this conversion and collating a face not attaching to any group of models to a photograph.
SOLUTION: A covariance calculating unit 3 fetches picture data from an input pattern input means 1 and a model pattern input means 1, and calculates a covariance matrix as regarding one picture data as a vector. A characteristic extracting unit 4 calculates a conversion matrix from the covariance matrix, and at the same time, performs a vector conversion as regarding one picture data as a vector and calculates a characteristic vector. Then, the selection of a characteristic space in that the space of the model pattern and the space of model-input varied vector are orthogonal is performed, and the collating processing of the face picture and the face photograph by the input pattern input means 1, the model pattern input means 2, the covariance calculating unit 3 and the determination unit 5.
