Abstract
A fast face capture system and process for identifying an individual as the individual walks through a designated area is described. A set of raw images is streamed from at least one camera for detecting individuals entering the designated area. The images are searched for a face. If a face is detected, a tracking ID is assigned; and a timer and face tracking is commenced to obtain a sequence of candidate images for each individual as the individual walks through the designated area. A maximum quality image is selected from the sequence of candidate images for each individual based on at least one quality metric, the elapsed time, and the quality select count in the sequence of the candidate images. The maximum quality image is submitted for matching with a verified image of the person. The invention has particular application to security check points for quickly matching the face of the moving person with a previously acquired and verified identity.
