Multi-Camera Object Authentication with Joint Verification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional access control methods in places like government buildings and office complexes face challenges in accurately identifying individuals due to issues with card replacement and high false alarm rates from face recognition systems, especially with occlusions and varying angles.
Innovation Solution
An image processing method and apparatus that captures images from multiple camera modules, compares them to a target library, and performs joint authentication when initial authentication fails, improving accuracy and reducing false alarms.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If conventional face recognition is used for access control, then authentication speed is improved, but measurement precision deteriorates due to face occlusion, side face, and bowed head causing high false alarm rates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from single-camera 2D face recognition to multi-camera 3D spatial positioning. By capturing images from multiple camera modules at different positions and performing three-dimensional positioning of the object based on these images, the system resolves the contradiction by adding a spatial dimension that enables accurate identification regardless of face orientation or occlusion in any single view
2Device complexity
If single camera module is used for authentication, then device complexity is reduced, but measurement precision deteriorates due to inability to capture multiple angles and reduce false alarms
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple camera modules into a coordinated authentication system. The first camera module performs initial authentication, and upon failure, the system activates additional second camera modules for joint authentication. This combining approach improves measurement precision by capturing the object from multiple angles while maintaining manageable device complexity through selective activation

AI summary
An image processing method and apparatus, and a storage medium are provided. The method includes: obtaining a first image and a second image of a to-be-authenticated object, where the first image is captured by a first camera module, and the second image is captured by at least one second camera module; comparing the first image with image data in a target library for identity authentication, to obtain a first authentication result; and in response to that the first authentication result is authentication failure, performing joint authentication on the first image and the second image, and determining the identity of the to-be-authenticated object according to a second authentication result of the joint authentication.
