Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to face detection window refinement using depth. Existing face detection systems may perform face detection by analyzing portions of visual data such as an image, video, etc. identified by sub-windows. These sub-windows are now determined only based on pixels, and thus may number in the millions. Consistent with the present disclosure, at least depth data may be utilized to refine the size and appropriateness of sub-windows that identify portions of the visual data to analyze during face detection, which may substantially reduce the number of sub-windows to be analyzed, the total data processing burden, etc. For example, at least one device may comprise user interface circuitry including capture circuitry to capture both visual data and depth data. Face detection circuitry in the at least one device may refine face detection by determining criteria for configuring the sub-windows that will be used in face detection.
