Disclosed are a backlight detection device and a backlight detection method. The device comprises a pixel value acquiring unit used to acquire a pixel value of each of pixels in an image; a focal position determination unit used to determine a focal position in the image; a subject area determination unit used to determine, based on the pixel values of the pixels in the image, a subject area starting from the focal position by using an area growth processing so as to divide the image into the subject area and a background area; a brightness difference calculation unit used to calculate a brightness difference between the subject area and the background area; and a backlight determination unit used to determine, based on the brightness difference, whether the image is in the backlight state so that the image in the backlight state can be detected.

Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for determining a multi-view specific object. The apparatus comprises an input device for inputting image data; and cascade classifiers formed of stage classifiers corresponding to a same detection angle, the stage classifiers corresponding to different features. Each cascade classifier is for calculating a degree of confidence of the image data of a specific object corresponding to the detection angle based on the aspect of the corresponding feature, and determining whether the image data belongs to the specific object based on the degree of confidence. A self-adaptive posture prediction device is disposed between two stage classifiers in each cascade classifier, and is used to determine whether the image data enters the cascade classifiers corresponding to the detection angles and located after the self-adaptive posture prediction device.

A system for centrally managing credential information of a user and a virtual object of a user across a plurality of virtual world (or corresponding virtual world servers) is disclosed. The system includes an identity service module for managing an authentication request (e.g., verifying credential information of a user) from a user and an inventory service module for managing virtual properties of a user. Furthermore, a method for logging in a virtual world by using the system is disclosed. A method for teleporting a virtual property from a virtual world to another virtual world by using the system is disclosed. A method for logging out from a virtual world by using the system is also disclosed.

Techniques and technologies for expanding a gallery by seeding the gallery with seed query results. A template is identified which is associated with the subjects of the seed queries and content identifiers are identified which include the template. These content identifiers are used to expand the gallery to include more content identifiers than before the expansion of the gallery.
摘要:
In general, the invention relates to a method for collecting information. The method includes receiving a request for user information from a preparer application executing on a preparer system and sending a notification of the request to a browser application executing on a user system, where the notification of the request is presented on a user interface of the browser application. The method further includes receiving the user information from the browser application, where the user information corresponds to content of the browser application. The method further includes sending a notification of receiving the user information to the preparer application, where the user information is used by the preparer application to prepare documentation, and where interactions with the browser application occur through a browser extension of the browser application.

Disclosed herein are one or more embodiments that facilitate selection of keywords for bidding by an advertiser having a website. One or more of the disclosed embodiments may process a click-through log to determine measures of competitiveness for a plurality of websites extracted from the click-through log. Also, the one or more disclosed embodiments may, for one of the websites, determine a ranking of competing websites based at least in part on the measures of competitiveness. The ranking of competing websites may be used to facilitate selection of keywords for bidding.
摘要:
High throughput screening of catalyst libraries may be performed using spin resonance techniques, and an evanescent wave probe developed by the present inventors. The probe may operate using either nuclear magnetic resonance or electron spin resonance techniques. In one configuration, a scanning evanescent wave spin resonance probe is used in conjunction with a library of catalysts or other materials, and localized detection of spin resonance is carried out at each library address. In another configuration, the evanescent wave probe is used in a micro-reactor array assay.

Embodiments of the present invention are directed toward white light illumination systems (so called “white LEDs”) that comprise a multi-chip excitation source and a phosphor package. In a two-chip source, the two LEDs may be UV-emitting and blue emitting, or blue-emitting and green-emitting. The phosphor package is configured to emit photoluminescence in wavelengths ranging from about 440 nm to about 700 nm upon co-excitation from the first and second radiation sources. The photoluminescence emitted by the phosphors is at least 40 percent of the total power in the white light illumination, and the portion of the total power in the white light illumination contributed by the first and second radiation sources (LEDs) is less than about 60 percent. This ratio can vary in alternative embodiments, and includes 50/50, 60/40, 70/30, and 80/20, respectively. The white light illumination emitted by the system has in one embodiment a color rendering index (CRI) greater than about 90.

One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that times commercial offers made to a user. During operation, the system starts by receiving financial history data for the user, wherein the financial history data includes purchase records for a set of purchases. The system then identifies a subset of purchases in the set of purchases, wherein the subset of purchases are semantically linked to a set of predetermined subjects. Next, the system identifies timing patterns in the subset of purchases based on timing information associated with the subset of purchases. The system then presents one or more commercial offers to the user at specific times based on the identified timing patterns.
