Abstract

See full text

A facial image capture and recognition system in accordance with these teachings includes a portable, hand-held device (5) having a facial image capture sub-system (20) for generating digital data representing an image of a face of an individual from one or more desired vantage points, angles and/or distances. A data processor (20, 115) operates to process the digital data for comparing the digital data to at least one target facial image (18A). A wireless link (95) is provided for transmitting at least one of image digital data or a recognition result from the device to a remote data processor (115). The target facial image can be stored in the portable, hand-held device, and can be received through the wireless link from a data communications network, such as the Internet (105). These teachings also pertain to methods for using the portable, hand-held device and related systems.
