Abstract: The invention discloses a face recognition method that reconstructs a 3D face model from a single face image, synthesizes a set of face images under different conditions (such as pose, light . . . ) via the 3D face model, feeds the set of face images under different conditions to the face recognition classifier for training, and making intermediate decisions whether to-be identified individual from a series of video frames is a legal system user by the face recognition classifier. Moreover, the method not only recognizes legal system users, but also rejects imposters, a function inspired by the idea of LLE. Finally, better reliability can be achieved by fusing temporal intermediate decisions.

Abstract: An intelligent monitoring system aims to perform object surveillance and tracking, and can quickly build accurate and reliable background data in a complex image condition to achieve desired monitoring result. Based on a dynamic background and a temporary static object and user's requirements, monitoring objects in a background module can be added or deleted to match the actual background information. The whole background data can be tracked according to characteristics of a targeted object set by users, and post-processing can be done for the tracked object, such as zooming, identifying, capturing, surveillance of behaviors, and the like. Thus whether a special attention is needed for a dynamic or static object can be notified. And an alert can be issued to relevant people for timely handling.
