Control module 13 control image grabber 3.For example, object is dwindled/amplified to control module 13 control image grabber 3, and perhaps the brightness around the basis changes the light sensitivity of image grabber 3 etc.
Fig. 3 shows the conceptual configuration that face-image extracts equipment 6.Face-image extraction equipment 6 as shown in fig. 1 has configuration as shown in Figure 3.
It is following computing machines that face-image extracts equipment 6: this computing machine extracts specific people's face-image from the image that is obtained by image grabber 3, perhaps in other words, only extraction gives expression to the face-image that advertisement or other image by display 2 demonstrations are had the people of particular interest.This face-image extraction equipment 6 is provided with the extraction zone and unit 61 is set, extracts regional cropping tool 62, frontal face images extraction apparatus 63 and near face-image selector switch 64.
It is input equipments that the extraction zone is provided with unit 61, the setting of this input equipment input appointed area, become the part of the image 8 that obtains by image grabber 3 so that will depend on the region limits of extraction of specific people's face-image, as shown in Figures 4 and 5 as example.In the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 4, in rectangular co-ordinate, the center of image 8 is taken as true origin (0,0), simultaneously X coordinate from left to right is defined as from-50 to 50, and Y coordinate from top to bottom is defined as from-50 to 50.The coordinate of center by extracting the zone and the length of its side specify this extractions regional.
For example, be provided with in the unit 61 if the zone is extracted in (0,0,50,50) input, the rectangular area that then is marked A in Fig. 4 is set to true origin (0,0) for the center and extend 50 and extend 50 extraction zone in vertical direction in the horizontal direction.If input (25,0,50,100), the right one side of something that then is marked the image 8 of B in Fig. 4 is set to extract the zone.In addition, if input (0,0,100,100), then entire image 8 is set to extract the zone.
Can also use border circular areas to get and define the extraction zone for the rectangular area.In this case, can extract the zone by defining at the coordinate of the center of circle and circular radius.
As an alternative, can use ratio about the area of image 8 to define and extract the zone.For example, be provided with in the unit 61, then can be set to extract the zone for center and the topography that has about 25% proportional area of entire image 8 with true origin (0,0) if the zone is extracted in (25) input.
As an alternative, can omit the extraction zone unit 61 is set, and can extract the regional zone of determining in advance that be fixed into.The center in this extraction zone is set at true origin (0,0) usually.This is because give expression to that most of people that the advertisement that shown by display 2 or other image are had particular interest may stand in the front of display 2 and at the center of display 2, perhaps in other words, and the center in the visual field of image grabber 3.
In extracting regional cropping tool 62, from the image that obtains by image grabber 3, cut out by extracting the zone image in the extraction zone that unit 61 is provided with is set.For example, be provided with under the situation of unit 61 the zone being extracted in (0,0,50,50) input, extracting regional cropping tool 62 and from the image 8 of catching five people as shown in Fig. 5 A that obtain by image grabber 3, cut out topography 9 as shown in Fig. 5 B.
In frontal face images extraction apparatus 63, search for this topography 9, and extract the positive face-image of facing.This is because although caught three people in topography 9, give expression to most of people that advertisement or other image by display 2 demonstrations are had particular interest and will make their facial display 2 of directly facing.
Can select to be used to extract the whole bag of tricks of the face-image of facing in the front.For example, can in frontal face images extraction apparatus 63, internally provide, and can calculate by the mutual relationship that obtains between them at the face-image that from image 9, extracts and with reference to the similarity between the frontal face images with reference to frontal face images.As an alternative, method can be utilized the following fact: in the frontal face images as shown in Fig. 6 A, human eye is virtually about the center line symmetry of face contour, and as shown in Fig. 6 B, if obliquely watch face, then eyes become about center line asymmetric.Thus, can determine facial line, and the color of the iris that can be by eyes and the white of the eye is determined the position of eyes by obtaining the edge by differential filter.In addition, can also be provided for extracting the permissible range of the face-image of facing in the front.In other words, if method can be configured to make face-image to be partial to the left side or the right at center, and the positive position of facing is then faced as the front and is handled this face-image in predetermined permissible range.
For fear of obscuring, omitted the detailed explanation of the device that is used to extract the face-image of facing in the front.As previously mentioned, patent documentation 3 discloses following apparatus: this device is used for from image detection people's head, and only obtains frontal face images from the topography of detected head.Patent documentation 4 discloses the device of the orientation of the face that is used for estimated image.In various other the documents that may be considered, announced other device.
Under the situation of extracting the face-image of facing in a plurality of fronts, the single face-image of essential selection.Therefore, near face-image selector switch 64 is selected to be arranged in one face-image near the people 5 of display 2 from the face-image that the front of being extracted by frontal face images extraction apparatus 63 is faced.This is because give expression to most of people that advertisement or other image by display 2 demonstrations are had particular interest and may very watch advertisement or other image near display 2 ground.
Left eye in the face-image and the interval between the right eye can be used for estimating the distance between people 5 each and the display 2.As shown in Figure 7, if among the people 5 one near display 2 (that is, image grabber 3), then the interval between his or his left eye and the right eye becomes big in the image that obtains.
As an alternative, can on the left side and the right arrange that two image grabber 3 obtain to carry out so-called stereo-picture.Can come estimated distance based on the image difference that causes owing to parallax then.
In addition, extract in the equipment 6, carry out face-image extraction procedure as shown in Figure 8 at face-image.
When the image grabber 3 of e-advertising equipment 1 is obtained image, carry out this face-image extraction procedure.At first, from the image that obtains by image grabber 3, cut out image (step 1) in the specific extraction zone (perhaps the extraction zone that unit 61 is provided with being set) by use extracting the zone.
Next, from the image of cutting, extract the positive face-image (step 2) of facing the people of image grabber 3 (and therefore also towards display 2).This is because inferring to give expression to has the people of particular interest will be towards display 2 (although just can not so say for the people who does not have the front to face in the image of cutting) to advertisement or other image.
If there is no (step 3: not), then this program stops the positive people's who faces face-image.If extract face-image (step 3: be), then this program advances to step 4.
In the people's who faces in the front the face-image, select face-image, and this face-image is outputed to personal attribute's estimator 7, and this program stops near display 2 (and therefore also near image grabber 3).This is because deduction gives expression to the people that advertisement or other image by display 2 demonstrations are had particular interest will be near display 2.Yet,, select this image if only there is the people's that a front faces face-image.
The configuration of Video Controller 4 will be described now.As shown in Figure 9, Video Controller 4 physically comprises calendar database (DB) 41, advertising image database 42, input/output interface (I/F) 43, I/O unit 44, and controller 45.
