    摘要: A dice recognition system and a dice recognition method for uncontrolled environments are provided. In the present invention, the number of dot on a dice is automatically recognized in an uncontrolled environment by using multiple cameras. The present dice recognition system is different in at least two aspects from any existing automatic dice recognition system which uses a single camera for recognizing dice in an enclosed environment. Firstly, an existing automatic dice recognition system uses a single camera to obtain planar images for dice recognition, while the present dice recognition system uses multiple cameras to obtain different viewpoints images for dice recognition. Secondly, the present dice recognition system is designed for uncontrolled environments, and which can be applied to an open-table game in a general gambling place for dice recognition without changing the original dice, dice cup, and other related objects.

    摘要: In a passive identification apparatus for identifying a predetermined individual member of a television viewing audience in a monitored viewing area, a video image of a monitored viewing area is captured. A template matching score is provided for an object in the video image. A Eigenface recognition score is provided for an object in the video image. These scores may be provided by comparing objects in the video image to reference files. The template matching score and the Eigenface recognition score are fused to form a composite identification record from which a viewer may be identified. Body shape matching, viewer tracking, viewer sensing, and/or historical data may be used to assist in viewer identification. The reference files may be updated as recognition scores decline.

    摘要: Health concerns of the vector-borne diseases, such as, yellow fever, malaria, dengue fever and general discomfort due to insect bites, has encouraged the development of insecticides to kill insects and insect repellents to keep insects away from treated human skin. Annatto extracts as a natural insect repellent and insecticide have many advantages over synthetic such as lower harmful side effects, low resistance, and more environmentally friendly. Annatto extracts containing ishwarane (C15) and geranyl-α-terpinene (C20) have strong mosquito repellency. Annatto extracts containing geranyl-α-terpinene (C20) and geranylgeraniol (C20) have strong larvicidal activity. Annatto extracts with approximately equal C15 and C20 composition have insect repellency, and annatto extracts with mainly C20 composition have larvicidal activity. Annatto extracts have synergistic effects with other natural extracts.
