  • Patent number: 11837018
    Abstract: Aspects of the invention provide a method of face recognition that includes receiving plural frames of a video stream imaging a candidate individual, e.g., in the field of view of a camera, and generating for each of those frames a score of the image and/or of the candidate therein. This can include a score (or count) indicative of the number of individuals present in the frame, a pose of the candidate individual (e.g., face-on or otherwise), blur in the image, and so forth. The method further includes selecting, based on the respective scores of the frames, a subset of the frames for matching by a face recognizer against a set of one or more images of designated individuals. That set may be of individuals approved for access, individuals to be prevented for access, or otherwise. An output can be generated based on such matching by the face recognizer.

  • Patent number: 11495052
    Abstract: A system uses facial recognition to exclude persons of interest (e.g., “undesirables”) from events and/or venues. Such a system can include a combination of cameras, edge processing devices, and servers that are in communications coupling (e.g., via a network) and that are on premise and/or in the cloud to recognize such persons of interest (POI) and interdict and prevent such POI from entering, traversing, and/or attending (collectively, “entering”) such venues or events.
