摘要： A filtering method is proposed wherein first several filtering steps (I-III, IV-VI) are made. Each step (I-III,IV-VI) includes: generating a filtered signal (I,IV), rounding this filtered signal (II,V) to a certain accuracy and combining (III,VI) the rounded signal with the input signal, whereby a filter error is obtained. The filtered signals are combined (VII) to a first filtered signal that is rounded (VIII) and combined (IX) with the input signal, whereby a coded signal is obtained. This allows to adapt the rounding step (II,V) and the combining step (III,VI) in each filtering step to specific filter design. Thereby limit cycles are reduced, the first filtered signal is available for further processes and the rounding can be inverted in the reverse process. Further a filter method for the reverse process, filter devices (1,10) able to perform these methods and devices (20,30,40,50,60) containing such devices are provided.

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： A method of controlling access to a resource using a verifying device uses watermarking device that embeds an authorization code in a signal using watermarking technology. The watermarked signal is then transmitted to a verifying device, e.g. as a television or radio program or as a commercial related to the resource. In the verifying device, the authorization code is extracted from the watermarked signal and an operation to be performed on the resource is authorized in dependence on the extracted authorization code. Preferably the authorization includes permission for executing a program, rendering and/or copying a multimedia object or for activating a cheat function in an electronic game.
