Patent number: 9405978Abstract: Prioritizing facial recognition matches includes obtaining identification information and a facial image for each visitor entering the monitored environment, the monitored environment having a plurality of cameras at known locations including entry and exit points; obtaining itineraries of the visitors. Itineraries of the visitors are obtained, and based on the entry points and the itineraries of the visitors, likely routes of the visitors are determined through the monitored environment. Responsive to receiving an image captured by a first camera at a first location at an image capture time, the database records are sorted for facial recognition matching with the image from the first camera based on the visitors whose routes are likely to place the visitors in proximity to the first camera at the time of image capture.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2013Date of Patent: August 2, 2016Assignee: GLOBALFOUNDRIES INC.Inventors: Paula Besterman, Adrian X.
