Abstract:
1. A portable modular system for facial recognition, comprising: a portable sensor container comprising: a visual sensor configured to acquire image data including a face; and a first electronic board including a first processor to control the sensor; a portable storage housing, operatively and removably connected to the portable sensor container by a cable or wirelessly, comprising a storage subsystem including a database of metadata relating to faces; a face recognition electronic board including a second processor used to extract and associate metadata in substantially real-time, wherein information about faces is extracted from the acquired image data and associated with the acquired image data as metadata about faces, the face recognition electronic board is in communication with the first electronic board and the storage subsystem; a portable display device directly connected to at least one of the portable sensor container and the portable storage housing, the portable display device receiving data and displaying data in substantially real-time from at least one of the first electronic board and the face recognition electronic board, wherein the acquired image and results of the metadata extraction and association including face recognition are simultaneously shown in substantially real-time on the portable display device; and an audio sensor to acquire audio data, wherein the first processor receives the audio data from the audio sensor, the second processor enriches the audio data in substantially real-time, wherein the portable sensor container, the portable storage housing and the portable display device are modular components with connectors and may be disconnected by a user without tools for flexible arrangement and use by a user including flexibility in the location of the modular components.
