Patent number: 10769435Abstract: A method of image processing within an image acquisition device. In one embodiment an image including one or more face regions is acquired and one or more iris regions are identified within the one or more face regions. The one or more iris regions are analyzed to identify any iris region containing an iris pattern that poses a risk of biometrically identifying a subject within the image. Responsive to identifying any such iris region, a respective substitute iris region, containing an iris pattern distinct from the identified iris pattern to avoid identifying the subject within the image, is determined and the identified iris region is replaced with the substitute iris region in the original image.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2019Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Assignee: FotoNation LimitedInventors: Ilariu Raducan, Ruxandra Vranceanu, Razvan Condorovici, Cosmin Stan, Peter Corcoran

Publication number: 20170186138Abstract: A method of image processing within an image acquisition device comprises acquiring an image including one or more face regions and identifying one or more iris regions within the one or more face regions. The one or more iris regions are analyzed to identify any iris region comprising an iris pattern of sufficient quality to pose a risk of biometrically identifying a subject within the image. Responsive to identifying any such iris region, a respective substitute iris region comprising an iris pattern sufficiently distinct from the identified iris pattern to avoid identifying the subject within the image is determined and the identified iris region is replaced with the substitute iris region in the original image.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2015Publication date: June 29, 2017Inventors: Ilariu RADUCAN, Ruxandra VRANCEANU, Razvan CONDOROVICI, Cosmin STAN, Peter CORCORAN

Patent number: 6904168Abstract: An enterprise based workflow server based system to detect and classify images as potentially of pornographic nature. The system is based on two independent stages. The first stage is an automatic stage which eliminates most images that are positively non pornographic, including an image analysis engine with a plurality of sub engines, each dedicated to different attributes of an image. The second stage describes an additional embodiment of a manual review stage. An alternative embodiment describes a similar server solution to detect images suspected as copyrighted material. The images can be individually classified, or analyzed as a cluster or a collection of images such as an album or motion-picture segment, sampled into key still frames. The system optimizes time saving by elimination of images, and assures accuracy by generating a workflow reviewing solution which can involve a human decision-making stage.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2001Date of Patent: June 7, 2005Assignee: Fotonation Holdings, LLCInventors: Eran Steinberg, Petronel Bigioi, Ilariu Raducan
