  • Face recognition in digital images by applying a selected set of coefficients from a decorrelated local binary pattern matrix
    Patent number: 8582836
    Abstract: A solution for face recognition. The solution includes detecting a face from a digital image constructed of multiple pixels, selecting a neighbor-hood for a pixel under observation, obtaining a combination of pixel values weighted with at least one set of coefficients, and determining information on face similarity between the observed face and at least one face.
    Type: Grant

  • Detecting and tracking objects in digital images
    Patent number: 8103058
    Abstract: There is provided an improved solution for detecting and tracking objects in digital images. The solution comprises selecting a neighborhood for each pixel under observation, the neighborhood being of known size and form, and reading pixel values of the neighborhood. Further the solution comprises selecting at least one set of coefficients for weighting each neighborhood such that each pixel value of each neighborhood is weighted with at least one coefficient; searching for an existence of at least one object feature at each pixel under observation on the basis of a combination of weighted pixel values at each neighborhood; and verifying the existence of the object in the digital image on the basis of the searches of existence of at least one object feature at a predetermined number of pixels.
