Abstract
Disclosed techniques relate to identifying subjects in digital images. In some embodiments, intake digital images () are acquired () that capture a first subject. A subset of the intake digital images is selected () that depict multiple different views of the first subject's face. Based on the selected subset of intake digital images, first subject reference templates are generated and stored in a subject database (). Later, a second subject is selected () for identification within an area. Associated second subject reference templates are retrieved () from the subject reference database. Digital image(s) () that depict the area are acquired (). Portion(s) of the digital image(s) that depict faces of subject(s) in the area are detected () as detected face image(s). A given detected face image is compared () to the second subject reference templates to identify the second subject () in the digital image(s) that capture the area.
