Abstract: The present disclosure provides a gesture recognition method as well as a terminal device and a computer-readable storage medium using the same. The method includes: obtaining a video stream collected by an image recording device in real time; performing a hand recognition on the video stream to determine static gesture information of a recognized hand in each video frame of the video stream; encoding the static gesture information in the video frames of the video stream in sequence to obtain an encoded information sequence of the recognized hands; and performing a slide detection on the encoded information sequence using a preset sliding window to determine a dynamic gesture category of each recognized hand. In this manner, static gesture recognition and dynamic gesture recognition are effectively integrated in the same process. The dynamic gesture recognition is realized through the slide detection of the sliding window without complex network calculations.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method and an apparatus for face recognition and a computer readable storage medium. The method includes: inputting a to-be-recognized blurry face image into a generator of a trained generative adversarial network to obtain a to-be-recognized clear face image; inputting the to-be-recognized clear face image to the feature extraction network to obtain a facial feature of the to-be-recognized clear face image; matching the facial feature of the to-be-recognized clear face image with each user facial feature in a preset facial feature database to determine the user facial feature best matching the to-be-recognized clear face image as a target user facial feature; and determining a user associated with the target user facial feature as a recognition result. Through this solution, the accuracy of the recognition of blurry faces can be improved.

Abstract: A target object detection model is provided. The target object detection model includes a YOLOv3-Tiny model. Through the target object detection model, low-level information in the YOLOv3-Tiny sub-model can be merged with high-level information therein, so as to fuse the low-level information and the high-level information. Since the low-level information can be further used, the comprehensiveness of target detection is effectively improved, and the detection effect of small targets is improved.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to robot technology, and particularly to a robot localization method as well as an apparatus and a robot using the same. The method includes: obtaining a set of particles for localizing the robot; updating a position of each particle in the set of particles based on a preset motion model to obtain the updated position of the particle; obtaining laser measurement data and UWB measurement data; calculating a matching probability of each particle based on the laser measurement data, the UWB measurement data, and the updated position of the particle; and localizing the robot based on the matching probability of each particle. In such a manner, the UWB measurement data is applied to the traditional particle filtering localization algorithm based on laser measurement data so as to enhance the localization precision in large indoor scenes.
