Filed:

Sep 7, 2012

Appl. No.:

13/606820

Inventors:

Kuntal Sengupta - Winchester MA, US
Robert Calder - Burlington MA, US

International Classification:

G06K 9/00

US Classification:

382103

Abstract:

A face is detected within a camera's field despite inadequate illumination. In various embodiments, multiple images of the inadequately illuminated field of view are obtained and summed into a composite image. The composite image is tone-mapped based on a facial lighting model, and a bounded group of pixels in the tone-mapped image having a lighting distribution indicative of a face is identified. Facial features are resolved within the bounded group of pixels.
