Publication number: 20230013117Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for determining whether to include a bodyprint in a cluster of bodyprints associated with a recognized person. For example, a device performs facial recognition to identify the identity of a first person. The device also identifies and stores physical characteristic information of the first person, the stored information associated with the identity of the first person based on the recognized face. Subsequently, the device receives a second video feed showing an image of a second person whose face is also determined to be recognized by the device. The device then generates a quality score for physical characteristics in the image of the user. The device can then add the image with the physical characteristics to a cluster of images associated with the person if the quality score is above a threshold, or discard the image if not.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 23, 2022Publication date: January 19, 2023Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Nitin Gupta, Jingwen Zhu, Jonghoon Jin, Andrew C. Edwards, Floris Chabert, Vinay Sharma, Hendrik Dahlkamp

Publication number: 20220366727Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for providing a notification indicating an identity of a first person based on face-associated body characteristics. For example, a device performs facial recognition to identify the identity of the first person shown in a first video feed. The device also identifies and stores physical characteristic information of the first person from the first video feed, the stored information associated with the identity of the first person based on the recognized face. Subsequently, the device receives a second video feed showing a second person whose face is determined to not be recognized by the device. The device compares the stored physical characteristic information of the first person with additional physical characteristic information of the second person shown in the second video feed. Based on the comparison, the device provides a notification indicating whether the identity of the second person corresponds to the identity of the first person.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2022Publication date: November 17, 2022Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Nitin Gupta, Jingwen Zhu, Jonghoon Jin, Andrew C.

Publication number: 20220100989Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for determining the presence of a particular person based on facial characteristics. For example, a device may include a first image in a reference set of images based on determining that a face shown in the first image is not covered by a face covering. A trained model of the device may determine a first set of characteristics from the first image, whereby the trained model is trained utilizing simulated face coverings to match a partially covered face of a particular person with a non-covered face of the particular person. The device may also determine a second set of characteristics associated with a face of a second person based on a second image. The trained model may then determine a score corresponding to a level of similarity between both sets of characteristics, and then determine whether the first person is the second person based on the score.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2021Publication date: March 31, 2022Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Jingwen Zhu, Vinay Sharma, Jonghoon Jin, Nitin Gupta, Floris Chabert, Hendrik Dahlkamp, Muriel Nahmani

Patent number: 10846566Abstract: An artificial neural network system for image classification, formed of multiple independent individual convolutional neural networks (CNNs), each CNN being configured to process an input image patch to calculate a classification for the center pixel of the patch. The multiple CNNs have different receptive field of views for processing image patches of different sizes centered at the same pixel. A final classification for the center pixel is calculated by combining the classification results from the multiple CNNs. An image patch generator is provided to generate the multiple input image patches of different sizes by cropping them from the original input image. The multiple CNNs have similar configurations, and when training the artificial neural network system, one CNN is trained first, and the learned parameters are transferred to another CNN as initial parameters and the other CNN is further trained. The classification includes three classes, namely background, foreground, and edge.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2017Date of Patent: November 24, 2020Assignee: KONICA MINOLTA LABORATORY U.S.A., INC.Inventors: Jingwen Zhu, Yongmian Zhang
