手機面部識別軟件 "手機識主人"成真
Scientists at The University of Manchester have developed a software for mobile phones that can track your facial features in real-time. Eventually it will be able to tell who the user is, where they are looking and even how they are feeling.
曼徹斯特大學的科學家們日前研發出了一款可以實施追蹤人類面部表情的手機軟件。據悉，該軟件能夠讓手機辨認主人並識別主人看向哪裏以及感受如何。
The method is believed to be unrivalled for speed and accuracy and could lead to facial recognition replacing passwords to log into internet sites from a mobile phone.
據瞭解，這種新技術在速度以及精確性方面獨一無二，從而使手機用戶通過臉孔識別技術而非密碼登陸網站成爲可能。
"Existing mobile face trackers give only an approximate position and scale of the face," said Dr Phil Tresadern, lead researcher on the project. He said the new model has a camera on the front and captures a video of the user's face and tracks twenty-two facial features. "This can make face recognition more accurate, and has great potential for novel ways of interacting with your phone."
“現有的移動面孔追蹤器只能提供大概的位置信息以及臉部比例，”該項目首席研究員菲爾-特雷薩登說道。他稱裝有新軟件的手機模型在前方裝有攝像頭，可以錄製用戶面孔的樣子，並捕捉到22個面部特徵。“這就使得臉孔識別技術更加精確，且爲人與手機互動的種種新奇方式創造了巨大契機。”
Face verification is already used in laptops and webcams but this is the first time the technology is being used with such sophistication in mobile devices such as smartphones.
據悉，臉孔識別技術已經在便攜電腦及網絡攝影機中有所應用，但該技術被成熟地用在諸如手機這樣的移動設備上還是第一次。
The new software, built on 20 years of research at the University, has been demonstrated on a Nokia N900 for the EU-funded "Mobile Biometrics" (MoBio) project.
作爲曼徹斯特大學20年的研究成果，該款新型軟件已被安裝在諾基亞N900進行展示，爲歐盟資助的“移動劑量生物學”工程做宣傳。
