Abstract:
A technique for optimizing object recognition is disclosed. The technique includes receiving at least one image of an object and at least one reference image. The technique further includes identifying at least one performance metric corresponding to an object recognition task. The identified performance metric is optimized to generate the corresponding optimized performance metric by determining an optimal subspace based on a determined objective function corresponding to the object recognition task and a difference between the received image and the corresponding reference image. Subsequently, the technique includes comparing the received image with the reference image based on the optimized performance metric for performing the object recognition task.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the field of display control processing and provides a display method and a display device. The display method includes: obtaining an object to be displayed; parsing the object to obtain corresponding information of the object; obtaining a media resource corresponding to the corresponding information based on the corresponding information; and displaying the object and presenting the media resource corresponding to the corresponding information. With the present invention, the display effect of the object can be enriched and the user's reading experience can be enhanced.
Abstract:
An advertising system is disclosed. In one embodiment, the system includes a processor and a memory including application instructions for execution by the processor. The application instructions may include a visual analytics engine to analyze visual information including human activity and a content engine separate from the visual analytics engine to provide advertising content to one or more potential customers. Further, the instructions may include an interface module to enable information generated from analysis of the human activity by the visual analytics engine to be transferred to the content engine in accordance with a specification in which the information generated is characterized with a hierarchical, object-oriented data structure. Additional methods, systems, and articles of manufacture are also disclosed.
Abstract:
An advertising system is disclosed. In one embodiment, the system includes an advertising station configured to output advertising content to a potential customer and a data processing system including a processor and a memory having application instructions for execution by the processor. The application instructions may include an identification engine to identify the potential customer, a tracking engine to track encounters between the potential customer and the advertising station, and a content engine to select the advertising content to be output to the potential customer based on the tracked encounters between the potential customer and the advertising station. Additional methods, systems, and articles of manufacture are also disclosed.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed for emotive healthcare software usability. A method to improve software usability is described, the method comprising presenting a software application to a user. The method also including logging activities of the user with respect to the software application, wherein the logging includes recording the user using the software application, and wherein the activities include user action with respect to the software application and mouse location on a user interface displaying the software application. The method also including interpreting user emotion from the recording, and tracking an emotive index based on a combination of user emotion and user action with respect to the software application and mouse location. The method also including providing feedback based on the emotive index.
Abstract:
A biometric sample training device, a biometric sample quality assessment device, a biometric fusion recognition device, an integrated biometric fusion recognition system and example processes in which each may be used are described. Wavelets and a boosted classifier are used to assess the quality of biometric samples, such as facial images. The described biometric sample quality assessment approach provides accurate and reliable quality assessment values that are robust to various degradation factors, e.g., such as pose, illumination, and lighting in facial image biometric samples. The quality assessment values allow biometric samples of different sample types to be combined to support complex recognition techniques used by, for example, biometric fusion devices, resulting in improved accuracy and robustness in both biometric authentication and biometric recognition.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a method, server, and terminal for dynamically modifying a short message icon. The method includes: receiving a first short message sent to a recipient user terminal, where the first short message carries sender information and recipient information of the short message; selecting, according to the sender information and recipient information of the first short message, a short message icon identifier to be displayed by the recipient user terminal; and sending a second short message to the recipient user terminal, where the second short message carries the selected short message icon identifier so that the recipient user terminal displays, according to the selected short message icon identifier, a short message icon corresponding to the selected short message icon identifier. The present disclosure enables more convenient and flexible displaying of a short message icon.
Abstract:
A method for image alignment is disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes acquiring a facial image of a person and using a discriminative face alignment model to fit a generic facial mesh to the facial image to facilitate locating of facial features. The discriminative face alignment model may include a generative shape model component and a discriminative appearance model component. Further, the discriminative appearance model component may have been trained to estimate a score function that minimizes the angle between a gradient direction and a vector pointing toward a ground-truth shape parameter. Additional methods, systems, and articles of manufacture are also disclosed.
