  • Patent number: 11516382
    Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling camera settings of a camera to improve detection of faces in an uncontrolled environment are described. A first image is received from the camera, where the first image is captured by the camera at a first set of camera settings. A face is detected in the first image. The camera is adjusted to a second set of camera settings based on the detected face, where the second set of camera settings different from the first set of camera settings. A second image is received from the camera, where the second image is captured by the camera at the second set of camera settings. The face is detected in the second image. A quality metric of the face in the second image is determined where the quality metric is indicative of an image quality of the face in the second image.

  • Patent number: 10140505
    Abstract: Various implementations of the invention perform facial recognition on a target image compared against a color image from an image gallery, where the target image was acquired by an infrared-sensitive camera of a target that was illuminated with infrared light. According to various implementations of the invention, a blue component and a green component of the pixels in the color image are suppressed or eliminated, and facial recognition is performed between the target image and the color-suppressed image.
