  • Low-light face detection
    Patent number: 8792679
    Abstract: A face is detected within a camera's field despite inadequate illumination. In various embodiments, multiple images of the inadequately illuminated field of view are obtained and summed into a composite image. The composite image is tone-mapped based on a facial lighting model, and a bounded group of pixels in the tone-mapped image having a lighting distribution indicative of a face is identified. Facial features are resolved within the bounded group of pixels.
