Systems and Methods for On-Device Person Recognition and Provision of Intelligent Alerts

The present document describes systems and methods for on-device person recognition and provision of intelligent alerts. The system includes a decentralized multi-camera system for on-device facial recognition. A device (e.g., security camera, video doorbell) captures images/video of a person, processes input image frames, detects face images, filters static faces, and aligns a rotation of the face to be upright and frontal. The device then filters low-quality face images and/or images having a large portion of the face occluded. The device computes a face embedding, compares it against a set of locally stored reference embeddings, and sends matching results to cloud services, which, based on the matching result, notifies the device owner whether the observed person is a known person or a stranger. Face detection and recognition computations are performed on device, not at the cloud. No sensitive information is transmitted off device and privacy is thus preserved.
