摘要： The invention relates to a method for generating a representation of a finger print minutiae information. The invention also relates to a method for generating a representation of a finger print for biometric template protection purposes Biometric template protection techniques provide technological means to protect the privacy of biometric reference information stored in biometric. systems These methods stand in sharp contrast to approaches where biometric information is protected only by legislation and procedures around storage facilities. These systems are not reliable as they are susceptible to human and procedural errors. Template protection guarantees the protection of biometric information without the assumption that individuals are trusted or procedures are properly implemented.

摘要： A playlist of content items, e.g. songs, is automatically generated in which content items having features similar to features of a seed content item are selected. At least one feature of the seed content item is compared with at least one feature of each candidate content item to identify specific ones of the candidate content items that are similar to the seed content item. The identified candidate content items are then added to the playlist. Multiple features represent (e.g. are extracted from) different parts of a plurality of candidate content items and/or multiple features of the seed content item represent (e.g. are extracted from) different parts of the seed content item. The multiple features of the seed content item and/or of the candidate content items are compared with at least one feature of the seed content item or of the candidate content items.

摘要： A basic idea of the present invention is to selectively employ one of at least two different feature extraction processes when generating a biometric template of an individual. An individual offers a physiological property, such as a fingerprint, an iris, an ear, a face, etc., from which biometric data can be derived, to a sensor of an enrollment authority. In the following, the property to be discussed will be fingerprints, even though any suitable biometric property may be used. From the fingerprint, a positional reference point of the biometric data is derived. The derivation of the positional reference point may be accomplished using any appropriate method out of a number of known methods. Such a reference point could be the location of a core, a delta, a weighted average of minutiae coordinates, or alike. Typically, the reference point includes a core of a fingerprint expressed as a three-dimensional coordinate denoted by means of xr, yr, and angle αr. A contribution indicator is calculated for the derived positional reference point, and it is determined whether the derived positional reference point can be considered reliable. Depending on the reliability of the derived reference point, one of the two different feature extraction processes is selected; either the first feature set is extracted using a method which is invariant of the derived reference point, or a method is used taking into account the derived reference point. The better the estimation of the reference point is, the more reliable the reference point-dependent extraction method is. Finally, the biometric template is generated using the extracted first feature set.

摘要翻译： 本发明的基本思想是当生成个体的生物特征模板时，选择性地采用至少两种不同的特征提取过程中的一种。 个体向生物特征提供生物特征，例如指纹，虹膜，耳朵，面部等，从中可以将生物特征数据导出到注册机构的传感器。 在下文中，要讨论的属性将是指纹，即使可以使用任何合适的生物特征属性。 从指纹，导出生物特征数据的位置参考点。 可以使用多种已知方法中的任何适当的方法来实现位置参考点的推导。 这样的参考点可以是核心的位置，三角形，细节坐标的加权平均值，或类似的。 通常，参考点包括表示为由xr，yr和角度α表示的三维坐标的指纹核心。 针对导出的位置参考点计算贡献指标，并且确定导出的位置参考点是否可以被认为是可靠的。 根据导出的参考点的可靠性，选择两个不同特征提取过程之一; 使用导出的参考点不变的方法来提取第一特征集，或者使用考虑到导出的参考点的方法。 参考点的估计越好，参考点依赖性提取方法越可靠。 最后，使用提取的第一特征集生成生物特征模板。

摘要： The invention relates to extracting and embedding auxiliary data from and to a host signal. In an embodiment, the auxiliary data relates to remotely control of an application or a device, such as an interactive toy. Auxiliary data are extracted from a host signal, by periodically (32A-32C) with a predetermined first period searching a first section (33A-33C) of the host signal for a first watermark (34); and, upon detection of the first watermark, searching the host signal for a second watermark (35). In embodiments, information relating to timing and type of action to be performed by a remotely controlled device may be conveyed by the watermarks.
