Title: Masahiro Maeda: Innovator in Image Recognition Technology

Introduction

Masahiro Maeda is a prominent inventor based in Kanagawa, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of image recognition technology, holding a total of 11 patents. His work focuses on developing advanced systems that enhance the accuracy and efficiency of facial recognition and posture discernment.

Latest Patents

One of Maeda's latest patents is an image recognition apparatus that includes an objective image data acquisition unit. This unit acquires objective image data containing a face image portion. The apparatus features a feature area detection unit that detects the eye area corresponding to the left and right eyes in the objective image data. Additionally, it has an inclination estimation unit that estimates the inclination of the face image portion in a depth direction based on the relative position of the detected eye area. The area-to-be-extracted determination unit determines the shape of an area to be extracted in response to the estimated inclination. Finally, the area-to-be-extracted extraction unit extracts the determined area from the objective image data, which can then be subjected to predetermined processing.

Another notable patent is the operation-discerning apparatus and apparatus for discerning the posture of a subject. This recognition apparatus captures images of at least a portion of a subject, including a human face, and obtains a sequence of image data. The facial portion is recognized from the image data, and each image in the sequence is processed successively. The apparatus identifies an image region that includes the facial portion, using either the color of the subject within a defined region or the result of detecting moving regions for processing.
