Detailed Description
Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be embodied in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.
First embodiment
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a method for classifying a human face according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The method specifically comprises the following steps:
step S10: and extracting target characteristics corresponding to the face picture from the face picture.
Step S20: and according to the target features and the stored face features in each face group, obtaining the similarity between the target features and each face group, wherein one face group correspondingly stores the corresponding face features of the same person.
Step S30: and determining a target face group to which the target features belong according to the similarity corresponding to each face group.
Step S40: and storing the target features to the target face group, and returning identification information corresponding to the target face group.
Before step S10, a step of obtaining a face picture may also be included, and specifically, the face picture may be obtained in a manner of taking a picture, recording a video, and decoding by using a camera installed on the smart device.
In step S10, the picture of the human face is a picture or video (a video frame containing the human face) taken by the smart device. Smart devices such as smart doorbells, smart phones, etc. The target features corresponding to the face image represent features that can identify and represent the face in the face image, for example, the face features are extracted by the existing lbp (local Binary patterns) face feature extraction method, Eigenface method (Eigenface), face feature point position detection and other manners, and the representation form of the face features may be a vector group representing face texture, Eigenface, face feature points and the like, and is not limited.
It should be noted that the above feature extraction methods are all existing methods, and detailed implementation processes thereof are not described again.
In step S20, the face groups are used to store face features, and the face features stored in the same face group are all face features of the same person. A storage threshold value can be set in one face group to limit the number of the corresponding face features to be stored to an upper limit, so that storage resources and similarity calculation resources can be saved.
For example: the face group a is used to store the face features of the user a, and the upper limit of the storage of the face features is 10 face features, so that the number of the face features stored in the face group a is less than or equal to 10.
In addition, the storage occupation size of the face group may also be limited, that is, the storage threshold may be the number or the content size. For example, the memory occupation size of each face group does not exceed 1024K.
Specifically, referring to fig. 2, step S20 includes:
step S21: and calculating the similarity between the target feature and each face feature in each stored face group.
Step S22: and acquiring an average value between each similarity corresponding to each face feature in the same face group, and taking the average value as the similarity between the target feature and the current face group.
For example: in the intelligent doorbell or a server of the intelligent doorbell, two face groups of a face group A and a face group B are stored, the upper limit of the face feature storage of the two face groups is 10, 10 face features are stored in the face group A, and 7 face features are stored in the face group B. Calculating the similarity of the face group, calculating the similarity of the target feature and 10 personal face features in the face group A to obtain 10 similarities, then averaging the 10 similarities corresponding to the face group A, and taking the obtained average as the similarity between the target feature and the face group A; similarly, for the face group B, the similarity between the target feature and 7 personal face features in the face group B is calculated, so that 7 similarities can be obtained, then the 7 similarities corresponding to the face group B are averaged, and the obtained average value can be used as the similarity between the target feature and the face group B.
The similarity calculation can be carried out in local intelligent equipment or a cloud server. For example, for a smart device with weak data processing capability (weak processor performance), data may be uploaded to the cloud for similarity calculation, for example: intelligent doorbell, intelligent bracelet etc.. For an intelligent device with stronger data processing capability (stronger processor performance), the calculation of the similarity can be performed in the local intelligent device, for example: smart phones, smart robots, and the like.
In addition, the specific measure of similarity is not limited, for example: and (4) measuring the similarity between the target features and the human face features by cosine distance, Euclidean distance, Hamming distance and the like.
In step S30, specifically, after obtaining the similarity between each face group and the target feature, the face group corresponding to the largest similarity may be used as the target face group storing the target feature.
However, in order to further improve the accuracy of target feature storage, two human face features which are not the same person but are similar are prevented from being stored in the same human face group by mistake. A decision threshold may be set, and when the maximum similarity is greater than or equal to the decision threshold, the target features may be stored in the face group. Otherwise, judging that all the face groups cannot be used for storing the target features at present, and needing to newly establish a face group as the target face group for storing the target features.
In order to facilitate the determination of the person corresponding to each face group, corresponding identification information can be added when each face group is newly created, so as to distinguish different face groups. For example, each face group is identified by a corresponding serial number, or a newly-created face group is set by a user in a self-defined manner, for example, after a newly-created face group is used as a target face group, if the person corresponding to the target feature is Zhang III, the target face group is marked with Zhang III or the identity card number corresponding to the Zhang III as identification information.
In step S40, when the target features are stored in the target face group, it should be further determined whether the face features stored in the target face group exceed a preset storage threshold, where the storage thresholds of different face groups may be the same or different, for example, in an intelligent doorbell, a larger storage upper limit may be set for the face group storing the face features of an owner, so as to improve the accuracy of similarity calculation and ensure the accuracy of identification for the owner of the intelligent doorbell.
Further, if the face features stored in the target face group exceed a preset storage threshold, deleting the face feature with the earliest storage time and then storing the target feature into the target face group; and if the face features stored in the target face group do not exceed the preset storage threshold, directly storing the target features into the target face group. For example, if the similarity between the face group a and the target feature is greater than the similarity between the face group B and the target feature and greater than the judgment threshold, at least one face feature with the earliest storage time in the face group a needs to be deleted, and then the face feature is stored. If the similarity between the face group B and the target feature is greater than the similarity between the face group A and the target feature and is greater than the judgment threshold, 7 face features are stored in the face group B and do not reach the storage upper limit, and at the moment, the target feature can be stored in the face group B without deleting the face feature.
In step S40, the returned identification information may be, without limitation, a name, a user-defined number, an identification number, and the like of a person corresponding to the face group.
In summary, in the face classification method provided in the embodiment of the present invention, the target features corresponding to the face image are extracted from the face image; according to the target features and stored face features in each face group, obtaining the similarity between the target features and each face group, wherein one face group correspondingly stores the corresponding face features of the same person; determining a target face group for storing the target characteristics according to the similarity corresponding to each face group; and storing the target features to the target face group, and returning identification information corresponding to the target face group. In the whole classification process executed by the invention, human face samples are not required to be collected and labeled and registered in advance, and a target human face group is determined directly through the calculation result of the similarity, so that the automatic classification of target characteristics can be realized, namely, the automatic grouping of human faces can be realized without manual labeling; and only need input a face image and can return its identification information (such as ID), and need not return the identification information of each face after inputting a lot of faces, saved the time that the face sample was gathered and the sign is registered, improved the face characteristic classification efficiency, be favorable to ordinary user or family to use, can popularize on a large scale.
