The new face recognition system developed in Russia can recognize even in the face mask

Hello, friends! From today Faktrum and Innovation Center "Skolkovo" begin a joint project in which we will tell you about the news and achievements of Russian science and technology.

The technology was created in the framework of the project "Research and development of hardware and software for the identification of the individual characteristics of a person using stereovision».



The essence of the new technologies at first glance, is quite simple: a computer program detects ("Detective", as they say, developers) in the video image human face. Then, by circumstantial evidence it recognizes the emotions characteristic of the object. A separate module software and hardware layout, developed in the framework of the federal program, is an algorithm for the identification of human gait.

The main difference between the new development of the western counterparts in that object recognition is not required to put it in any certain area. Also, the system can recognize the man whose face is partially hidden (for example, a terrorist wearing a mask when only his eyes visible).



However in such cases, detection is triggered only by certain personnel.

Recognizes objects video on motley background uneasy. Even video and photo giants such as Sony and Fuji, can not boast of a high level of detection, which is determined by the balance between the number of correctly received images and false positives.

"At one time walked on the Internet a video in which the racy black joking that IP-cameras of well-known manufacturer did not recognize, they say:« These cameras are racists! ». So, this problem is addressed in the new development. The system recognizes and blacks, and Chinese, and Indians, and many other people with different types of looks.





First comes face detection, and then on the shape of the face determines the type of program it's emotional state, which is displayed on the computer screen.

Under the inscription with the name of "emotion" is an image of a cute old man. This is a prototype, which takes over the emotions of people falling under surveillance. Frown - he, too, do not like something, smile - and the old man breaks into a wide smile.

This development would be very useful in systems of human security, such as the subway or airports. It can be used in medicine for the treatment of people with mental disorders or in the field of education to assess the level of attention of students in the classroom. The project, supported by the federal program, additionally developed an algorithm for constructing a three-dimensional face cards.

This can be useful, for example, to simulate surgical operations or when restoring the image of man or forensic archaeologists. This algorithm does not require any specialized equipment, such as structured light or artificial light - just two calibrated stereo camera.

Now the project is at the stage of release of the final version of the program, ie. E. The working of the product, which can already serve the public.
