    Abstract: A neural network is trained to process input data and generate a classification value that characterizes the input with respect to an ordered continuum of classes. For example, the input data may comprise an image and the classification value may be indicative of a quality of the image. The ordered continuum of classes may represent classes of quality of the image ranging from “worst”, “bad”, “normal”, “good”, to “best”. During training, loss values are determined using an ordered classification loss function. The ordered classification loss function maintains monotonicity in the loss values that corresponds to placement in the continuum. For example, the classification value for a “bad” image will be less than the classification value indicative of a “best” image. The classification value may be used for subsequent processing. For example, biometric input data may be required to have a minimum classification value for further processing.

    Abstract: Actors may be detected and tracked within a scene using multiple imaging devices provided in a network that are aligned with fields of view that overlap at least in part. Processors operating on the imaging devices may evaluate the images using one or more classifiers to recognize body parts within the images, and to associate the body parts with a common actor within the scene. Each of the imaging devices may generate records of the positions of the body parts and provide such records to a central server, that may correlate body parts appearing within images captured by two or more of the imaging devices and generate a three-dimensional model of an actor based on positions of the body parts. Motion of the body parts may be tracked in subsequent images, and the model of the actor may be updated based on the motion.

    Abstract: Techniques for an identity-verification system to analyze image data representing palms of users using a segmented, characteristic-based approach. The system may compare palm-feature data representing characteristics of a palm of a user (or “query palm”) with stored palm-feature data of palms for user profiles (or “stored palms”). For instance, the system may identify characteristics of the query palm having salient or discriminative features, and compare palm-feature data for those discriminative characteristics to palm-feature data representing corresponding characteristics of stored palms of enrolled users. Additionally, the system may compare characteristics of the query palm with corresponding characteristics of stored palms until the system is confident that the query palm corresponds to a stored palm of a user profile. By performing simpler characteristic-by-characteristic sameness verification tasks, the system may reduce the amount of time and computing resources utilized to verify an identity of a user as opposed to top-level, palm-identity verification.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for providing instructions when receiving biometric data associated with a user. For instance, a user-recognition device may detect a portion of a user, such as a hand. The user-recognition device may then display a first graphical element indicating a target location for placing the portion of the user above the user-recognition device. Additionally, the user-recognition device may determine locations of the portion of the user above the user-recognition device. The user-recognition device may then display a second graphical element indicating the locations, such as when the locations are not proximate to the target location. Additionally, the user-recognition device may display instructions for moving the portion of the user to the target location. Based on detecting that the location of the portion of the user is proximate to the target location, the user-recognition device may send data representing the portion of the user to a remote system.
