摘要:
Subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in methods, computer program products and systems relating to speech-to-text conversion. A first spoken input is received from a user of an electronic device (an “original utterance”). Based on the original utterance, a first set of character string candidates are determined that each represent the original utterance converted to textual characters and a selection of one or more of the character string candidates are provided in a format for display to the user. A second spoken input is received from the user and a determination is made that the second spoken input is a repeat utterance of the original utterance. Based on this determination and using the original utterance and the repeat utterance, a second set of character string candidates is determined.

The system and method obscures descriptive image information about one or more images. The system comprises a selector for selecting the descriptive image information from one or more of the images, a transformer that transforms the descriptive information into a transformed state, and an authorizer that provides authorization criteria with the image. In a preferred embodiment, the transformed state is the respective image encoded with the descriptive information. The descriptive information can be obscured so that the descriptive information in the transformed state can be decoded only if one or more authorization inputs satisfy the authorization criteria.

A method and system is provided to provide enrollment of biometric data from individuals without the need for the enrollees to travel to a central location. The system and method provides for optionally detecting multiple types of biometric data, for example, fingerprints, facial scan, visual scan, iris scan, voice scan, or the like, to be captured at the point of enrollee use. During the biometric capture process, the biometric enrollment device monitors and establishes the identity of the enrollee and measures the quality of the biometric input as it occurs. If unacceptable quality is detected, then repeated biometric scans may be necessary, but is done at time of enrollment avoiding any need to send inaccurate information back to a service institution. When the enrollment process completes, the biometric data is encrypted, time stamped and either mailed back to the service institution or is transmitted back. The biometric device may remain with the user for subsequent use as an identification sensor which may authenticate a user with stored biometric information to authenticate a user's identity for a transaction or a request to access a service or equipment. The biometric enrollment device may also be embodied with another piece of equipment to authenticate use of that equipment.

The present invention includes a method, system, and program product for detecting an event that includes receiving at least one data input stream from one or more sensors, selecting a data input stream from one of the one or more sensors, recording the data input stream on a recordable medium, specifying a rule comprising an event in the data input stream, and detecting at least one event in the data input stream based upon the rule.

摘要:
Aspects of the present invention provide a solution for resolving an occlusion in a video image. Specifically, an embodiment of the present invention provides an environment in which portions of a video image in which occlusions have occurred may be determined and analyzed to determine the type of occlusion. Furthermore, regions of the video image may be analyzed to determine which object in the occlusion the region belongs to. The determinations and analysis may use such factors as pre-determined attributes of an object, such as color or texture of the object and/or a temporal association of the object, among others.

The present invention provides an item scanning system in which an appearance of an item is received (e.g., at checkout). The appearance is captured with an image capture device (e.g., still frame camera, video camera, etc.) that can be collocated with a barcode scanner. In being collocated, the image capture device can be positioned proximate (e.g., near, attached to, etc.) the bar code scanner, integrated within a common housing/unit with the barcode scanner, etc. In any event, a search engine will then search a database of items based on the appearance to identify a set of items that potentially match the item. When one of the set of items is selected (e.g., by the checkout clerk), the selection will be received and stored for future investigation/auditing.
摘要:
Methods and systems for remotely enrolling enrollees into biometric databases are provided. The method includes acquiring biometric data from one or more biometric sensors and authenticating an enrollee associated with the biometric data. The method includes enrolling the authenticated enrollee associated with the biometric data. The acquiring occurs externally from equipment that requires an identification. The method includes verifying individual samplings of the biometric data for quality at the time of enrollment based on a pre-determined threshold and verifying whether the enrollee presenting the biometric data is authenticated at the time of enrollment. The method includes signing a request of a third party with a private key associated with the third party, the signing denoting that the biometric data is verified for a transaction between the third party and the enrollee. The method includes sending the signed third party request to the third party to complete authenticating of the transaction.

The invention provides a method, system, and program product for presenting electronic surveillance data. One method according to the invention includes identifying a point to be surveyed; establishing a schedule at which the point will be surveyed; capturing a first image of the point; storing the first image; capturing a second image of the point; storing the second image; highlighting a difference between the first and second images; and presenting the first and second images to a user.
摘要:
A novel system and method of treating the output of moving cameras, in particular ones that enable the application of conventional “static camera” algorithms, e.g., to enable the continuous vigilance of computer surveillance technology to be applied to moving cameras that cover a wide area. According to the invention, a single camera is deployed to cover an area that might require many static cameras and a corresponding number of processing units. A novel system for processing the main video sufficiently enables long-term change detection, particularly the observation that a static object has been moved or has appeared, for instance detecting the parking and departure of vehicles in a parking lot, the arrival of trains in stations, delivery of goods, arrival and dispersal of people, or any other application.
