Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for sharing a digital image depicting one or more faces. The method may include linking a plurality of computer terminals to a computer network, each computer terminal associated with an individual; receiving a digital image at at least one of the computer terminals; executing a face recognition routine on the digital image, the face recognition routine detecting at least one face in the digital image, each detected face corresponding to a person, the face recognition routine recognizing at least one of the persons as being one of the individuals; and for each individual recognized in the digital image by the face recognition routine, initiating dissemination of the digital image to the computer terminal associated with respective individual whose face is recognized in the digital image.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for recognizing one or more faces in a digital image, the method comprising:\n enabling a remote web browser, desktop application, or a mobile device to access a proxy server; at the proxy server,\n receiving a digital image; \n executing a face detection routine on the digital image involving: generating one or more face coordinates corresponding to one or more candidate regions for one or more faces; \n executing a face recognition routine involving, for each of the one or more candidate regions for the one or more faces, generating a face signature using one or more projection images defined by the face coordinates; and comparing the face signature with one or more known face signatures to determine a distance value for each comparison, computing an aggregation of the distance values, determining a best match between the face signature and the known face signatures using the aggregated distance values and comparing the best match to a similarity threshold, the best match determining an identity corresponding to at least one of the one or more faces; and \n making available results of the face recognition routine to the web browser, the desktop application or the mobile device; \n wherein the face signature is generated by: translating, rotating, and scaling the candidate region to a normalized image; masking the normalized image to define a masked image wherein the face is isolated to a region; applying a contrast adjustment to the masked image.
