Abstract: A system and method for processing images includes a plurality of image providers configured to transmit images. A plurality of destination processors receives the transmitted images and transforms the transmitted images to internally useable image data. A plurality of feature object engines find and identify in the internally useable image data a plurality of objects. A plurality of object classifier engines index and classify the plurality of objects found by the feature object engines.

Abstract: A face imaging system for recordal and/or automated identity confirmation, including a camera unit and a camera unit controller. The camera unit includes a video camera, a rotatable mirror system for directing images of the security area into the video camera, and a ranging unit for detecting the presence of a target and for providing target range data, comprising distance, angle and width information, to the camera unit controller. The camera unit controller includes software for detecting face images of the target, tracking of detected face images, and capture of high quality face images. A communication system is provided for sending the captured face images to an external controller for face verification, face recognition and database searching. Face detection and face tracking is performed using the combination of video images and range data and the captured face images are recorded and/or made available for face recognition and searching.
