A system using face and iris image capture for recognition of people. The system may have wide field-of-view, medium field-of-view and narrow field-of-view cameras to capture images of a scene of people, faces and irises for processing and recognition. Matching of the face and iris images with images of a database may be a basis for recognition and identification of a subject person.

Combined face and iris recognition system

A system for finding and providing images of eyes acceptable for review, recordation, analysis, segmentation, mapping, normalization, feature extraction, encoding, storage, enrollment, indexing, matching, and/or the like. The system may acquire images of the candidates run them through a contrast filter. The images may be ranked and a number of candidates may be extracted for a list from where a candidate may be selected. Metrics of the eyes may be measured and their profiles evaluated. Also, the spacing between a pair of eyes may be evaluated to confirm the pair's validity. Eye images that do not measure up to certain standards may be discarded and new ones may be selected.

Approaches and apparatus for eye detection in a digital image

A method and apparatus for automatically focusing a camera that may rely upon ambient light for auto focusing and flash illumination for image capture. A correction factor may be determined that is based at least in part on a range between the camera and a desired subject. The camera focus may be adjusted in accordance with the correction factor prior to capturing a capture image using flash illumination.
