(Für diese Definition ist die deutsche Übersetzung noch nicht abgeschlossen)
Detection, localisation, representation and recognition of the face or of facial parts.
Detection of multiple faces in an image or video, e.g. for video-conferencing.
Feature extraction based on the facial image taken as a whole, e.g. holistic features such as colour of the face region, eigenfaces, Fisherfaces, etc., or based on facial parts, e.g. local features such facial components (eyes, nose, etc.), their geometric configuration.
Face occlusion detection.
Race, gender and age detection based on facial features (e.g. skin wrinkles).
Recognition of facial expressions, e.g. static or dynamic expressions.
Spoof-by-picture using an image of the face.
Detection of faces using different types of acquisition modalities, e.g. infrared (thermal) images, or their combination.
Facial skin detection based on skin properties, e.g. skin colour.
Faces detected in an image
Acquisition of a face in 3D by means of a smartphone
Recognising three-dimensional [3D] objects in scenes | G06V 20/64 |
Recognition of human or animal bodies in images or video, e.g. vehicle occupants or pedestrians; Body parts, e.g. hands | G06V 40/10 |
Recognition of fingerprints or palmprints within images or video | G06V 40/12 |
Recognition of eye characteristics within images or video, e.g. of the iris | G06V 40/18 |
Multimodal biometrics, e.g. combining information from different biometric modalities | G06V 40/70 |
Recognition using iris patterns of the eye are classified in group G06V 40/18. If the technical aspects of a document cover aspects relevant both for face recognition and iris recognition, both aspects are classified in groups G06V 40/16 and G06V 40/18.
Techniques for spoof detection of faces, e.g. spoof-by-picture, are classified in groups G06V 40/16 and G06V 40/40.
Techniques for face recognition using 3D models are also classified in group G06V 20/64.
