Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Some implementations provide techniques and arrangements to address intrapersonal variations encountered during facial recognition. For example, some implementations transform at least a portion of an image from a first intrapersonal condition to a second intrapersonal condition to enable more accurate comparison with another image. Some implementations may determine a pose category of an input image and may modify at least a portion of the input image to a different pose category of another image for comparing the input image with the other image. Further, some implementations provide for compression of data representing at least a portion of the input image to decrease the dimensionality of the data.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method comprising: under control of one or more processors configured with executable instructions, determining a first pose category of at least a portion of a first image from among a plurality of pose categories; transforming at least the portion of the first image to a second pose category corresponding to a second image to obtain a transformed image, wherein at least a portion of the transformed image is divided into a plurality of cells;…
