AI Technical Summary
Existing systems fail to effectively visualize and identify individuals hiding their faces with hoods, scarves, or fabrics, posing challenges in security and law enforcement.
A system utilizing UVB-UVC lighting, synchronized visible light projection, and synchronized cameras with UV and visible light detectors, along with remote recorders and processors, to capture and process images of masked faces.
Enables effective visualization and identification of masked faces, enhancing security by aiding in the recognition of individuals engaging in criminal activities.
Abstract
Description
Title of the invention: Ultraviolet lighting system for viewing faces masked by balaclavas, scarves or fabrics. Prior art
[0001] Searches carried out on patent databases did not find any inventions in this field; however, it is possible that some patents exist and are being concealed for reasons of national security and defence. Statement of the invention
[0002] The present invention relates to a system that, by means of ultraviolet light, allows the visualization of faces masked by balaclavas, scarves, or fabrics. It comprises the following equipment:
[0003] - an ultraviolet lighting device in the UVB-UVC range, covering the range wavelengths from 310 to 200 nm.
[0004] - a visible light projector.
[0005] These two devices are synchronized and can operate in continuous mode and in flash mode.
[0006] - a camera equipped with ultraviolet detectors.
[0007] - a camera for visible light, synchronized in time with the previous one.
[0008] - two remote recorders and means for transmitting and processing images.
[0009] Important note
[0010] It must be understood that the preceding descriptions are given by way of example and that they in no way limit the scope of the invention, which would not be exceeded by replacing the described equipment with other equivalents. Industrial applications
[0011] The present invention is intended for the visualization of masked faces and, subsequently, for the identification of individuals who take advantage of their impunity to attack, loot, degrade public buildings, and police, industrial sites and steal from shops and warehouses.
