Abstract:
1. A method for face image prioritization based on face image prioritization based on face quality analysis: detecting a facial image from a first track of facial images; filtering the facial image with a first number of quality analysis filters that include a first number of quality analysis factors; passing the facial image to a second number of quality analysis filters that includes a second number of quality analysis factors when the facial image passes the first number of quality analysis filters, wherein processing associated with the second number of quality analysis factors is more complex than processing associated with the first number of quality analysis factors; determining an overall image quality of the facial image based on the first number of quality analysis factors and the second number of quality analysis factors; determining a matching confidence between the facial image and a stored facial image with a facial recognition program based on the overall image quality; and assigning a priority to the first track of facial images based on the matching confidence and the overall image quality of the facial image; and determining whether to continue processing images from the first track of facial images by comparing the priority of the first track of facial images with a priority of a second track of facial images.
