Gimbal Camera Face Tracking With Registered Target Priority

The processor in the gimbal camera system performs multiple functions including face recognition, face tracking, and general image processing. By making the processor universal and capable of handling various tasks, the system achieves improved target tracking accuracy without adding separate dedicated hardware modules, thus managing device complexity.

The patent introduces an intermediate processing layer where the processor analyzes facial features and generates tracking data that guides gimbal movement. This intermediary processing step bridges the gap between simple image capture and complex tracking control, enabling accurate tracking while organizing system complexity into manageable stages.

The system performs preliminary face recognition and registration before tracking begins. Faces are pre-identified and assigned priorities in advance, allowing the tracking system to efficiently manage multiple targets without real-time decision complexity. This preliminary classification simplifies the ongoing tracking control.

The patent changes the parameter of face priority levels to manage multiple tracking targets. By assigning different priority parameters to different faces, the system can adaptively adjust which faces are tracked and with what intensity, providing versatility while using a simple parameter-based control mechanism rather than complex multi-variable control.
