How do cameras identify faces?

How do cameras identify faces?

In most cases, the face detection system will confirm detection by overlaying a rectangle on each face in the scene displayed on the camera’s LCD. Some systems use a different colour to identify the face that will be used as a focusing target. Tracking facilities are also provided by some recent systems.

How do I find pixels?

To check the pixel count of an image:

1. Right-click on the image (or, on a Mac, control-click).
2. Choose Properties or Get info.
3. Click the General or More info tab.
4. Use the Image section to see the image dimensions in pixels, or the File section to see the image file size.

What kind of camera resolution do you need?

For example, if we need to see a person’s face in a field of view that’s 20 ft. wide, the camera resolution needs to be 80 pixels/ft. x 20 ft. = 1600 pixels. A 2-megapixel camera with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 meets this requirement and is a good choice for this application.

How many pixels do you need to recognize a person?

As you can see in the pictures above, 40 pixels across the face is probably the minimum number of pixels necessary to recognize a person that you know. If a face is 6.0 inches wide, then we need 80 pixels per foot.

Can a low resolution camera be used to identify a person?

The one thing that conerns me is that the low capture resolution, coupled with what are likely to be poor quality optics won’t be enough to be able to identify the subject from much more than a few metres.

How many cameras do you need for 7 m wide?

For example, if a scene 7 m wide requires five cameras at 4CIF resolution, these could be replaced by two cameras at 1080p HDTV resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels). Also, a camera with higher resolution can be used to give a better overview, by covering a larger scene while maintaining the required horizontal resolution.
