Application: Face detector using positional prior filtering (Patent ID: US20230360430A1)
The patent filed by Alarm.com Holdings Inc. describes a method, system, and apparatus for object detection using positional prior filtering. The method involves obtaining person bounding boxes and face bounding boxes from a set of images, training a face location predictor and an error model to determine the likelihood of an image depicting a face, and storing these models for face detection. The system further includes operations for receiving input images, detecting faces, and performing automated actions based on the detected faces, such as locking or unlocking a door.
The system also includes features for determining face prior values, training the face location predictor using person bounding box features, and skipping training based on likelihood thresholds. Additionally, the method involves detecting face candidates, determining the likelihood of an image depicting a face, and performing automated actions based on the results. The non-transitory computer storage media encoded with instructions for these operations further includes features for selecting input images, performing facial recognition, and determining face prior values for automated actions. Overall, the patent outlines a comprehensive system for efficient and accurate face detection using positional prior filtering.
