  • Patent number: 11915515
    Abstract: A facial verification method and apparatus is disclosed. The facial verification method includes detecting a face region in an input image, determining whether the detected face region represents a partial face, in response to a determination that the detected face region represents the partial face, generating a synthesized image by combining image information of the detected face region and reference image information, performing a verification operation with respect to the synthesized image and predetermined first registration information, and indicating whether facial verification of the input image is successful based on a result of the performed verification operation.

  • Patent number: 11861937
    Abstract: The facial verification apparatus is a mobile computing apparatus, including a camera to capture an image, a display, and one or more processors. While in a lock state, the image is captured and facial verification performed using a face image, or using a detected face and in response to the face being detected. The facial verification includes a matching with respect to the detected face, or obtained face image, and a registered face information. If the verification is successful, the lock state of the apparatus may be canceled and the user allowed access to the apparatus. The lock state may be cancelled when the verification is successful and the user has been determined to have been attempting to gain access to the apparatus. Face image feedback to the user may not be displayed during the detecting for, or obtaining of, the face and/or performing of the facial verification.

  • Publication number: 20230334901
    Abstract: Disclosed is a face verification method and apparatus. The method including analyzing a current frame of a verification image, determining a current frame state score of the verification image indicating whether the current frame is in a state predetermined as being appropriate for verification, determining whether the current frame state score satisfies a predetermined validity condition, and selectively, based on a result of the determining of whether the current frame state score satisfies the predetermined validity condition, extracting a feature from the current frame and performing verification by comparing a determined similarity between the extracted feature and a registered feature to a set verification threshold.

  • Publication number: 20230326241
    Abstract: Disclosed is a face verification method and apparatus. A mobile device may include one or more processors configured to obtain one or more images for a user, ascertain whether any of the one or more images correspond to respective user distances, from the user to the mobile device, outside of a threshold range of distances, and selectively, based on a result of the ascertaining, perform verification using a first verification threshold for any of the one or more images ascertained to correspond to the respective user distances that are outside the threshold range of distances, and perform verification using a less strict second verification threshold for any of the one or more images that have been ascertained to not correspond to the respective user distances that are outside the threshold range of distances.
