Patent number: 9818023Abstract: A method for face detection includes capturing a depth map and an image of a scene and selecting one or more locations in the image to test for presence of human faces. At each selected location, a respective face detection window is defined, having a size that is scaled according to a depth coordinate of the location that is indicated by the depth map. Apart of the image that is contained within each face detection window is processed to determine whether the face detection window contains a human face. Similar methods may also be applied in identifying other object types.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2017Date of Patent: November 14, 2017Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Yael Shor, Tomer Yanir, Yaniv Shaked

Publication number: 20050111753Abstract: A method of generating a mosaic from a plurality of camera images of a scene acquired by a camera moving relative to the scene, the method comprising: associating with each camera image a value of at least one variable so that the variable is a substantially a linear function of a spatial coordinate that defines the locations of the camera at which it acquires the images by requiring that a coordinate of pixels in the camera images that image a same feature in the scene is substantially a linear function of the variable; and generating the mosaic responsive to the at least one variable.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2004Publication date: May 26, 2005Applicants: Yissum Research Development Company of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, HumanEyes Technologies Ltd.Inventors: Shmuel Peleg, Alexander Rav-Acha, Yael Shor
