System that never forgets a face

摘要

System designers can include the same facial recognition systems that appear in many cameras and smartphones using Omron's Human Vision Component (HVC) module. Capabilities range from simply recognising that a human being is present to gesture control and full facial recognition and identification. The Omron HVC integrates 10 image sensing functions with a camera in a module sized just 60 × 40mm. Developers can detect a human face, hand or body, and implement face recognition, gender detection as well as age, mood, facial pose, gaze and blink estimations. In each case the module returns a value together with a degree of certainty, allowing the programmer to configure the response appropriately for each individual application. HVC is a compact configuration and can be easily integrated into an established system or as part of a new design.
