  • Identifying non-occluded faces by learning from partially occluded faces
    Patent number: 9704025
    Abstract: Systems and methods of facial recognition of non-occluded or non-obstructed faces is provided. The method includes generating a skin mask based on an occluded image of an individual and removing occluded areas for the occluded image using the skin mask so that skin areas remain. The method further includes generating a correlation filter based on the occluded image. The method further includes applying the skin mask and correlation filter to a non-occluded input image of an individual. The method further includes generating a correlation output based on applying the skin mask and correlation filter to the non-occluded input image. The correlation output may indicate a likelihood that the second individual in the non-occluded input image is of the first individual in the occluded image.
