System and method for collecting and using filtered facial biometric data
Disclosed are a system and method for the application of filtering in the collection and application of facial biometrics to a number of problems common to the vending and gaming environments. A succession of video frames of a scene are analyzed to determine if one or more faces are present. If so, the face most relevant to the application based in its position in the scene is selected. The selected face in each of the succession of video frames is then quality rated according to certain criteria to select the best frame for computing a biometric value of the selected face. One the biometric value has been computed, the value may be compared against a database to determine if a biometric value for a matching face was previously stored. If so, the quality rating of the new image and a quality rating previously stored with the stored biometric are compared. If the new image has a higher quality rating than the stored quality rating, the new biometric replaces the stored biometric and its quality rating replaces the associated quality rating in storage. The biometric may then be applied to solving problems of patron analytics, patron loyalty, security and the like.
