    摘要: A system and method is provided for adaptively setting biometric measurement thresholds in a biometric measurement system. A biometric measurement system comprises a biometric sensor, an analysis unit, and an output unit. The invention comprises an environmental sensor that measures a value of an environmental parameter of the ambient environment of the biometric measurement system. The invention also comprises an adaptive threshold setting unit that adaptively sets an adjustable biometric measurement threshold in the analysis unit using a value of the environmental parameter measured by the environmental sensor. The analysis unit analyzes biometric measurements received from the biometric sensor and uses the adjusted biometric measurement threshold to take into account the influence of environmental changes.

    摘要: An authenticating card 10 for use in a transaction includes a memory 15 and a processor 20. Biometric data of an authorized user of the card 10 are stored in the memory 15 when the card is used for the first time. The processor 20 receives acquired biometric information 25 of the user and allows the transaction when there is a match between the acquired biometric information 25 and the stored biometric data. The biometric information 25 of the user desiring to perform the transaction may be acquired by an input device or reader 30, such as a scanner, recorder or a digital tablet. The biometric information 25 and data may be the user's signature, voice print, palm print, finger print, length of finger(s), or eye scan.

    摘要: Objects are classified using a normalized cross correlation (NCC) measure to compare two images acquired under non-uniform illumination conditions. An input pattern is classified to assign a tentative classification label and value. The input pattern is assigned to an output node in the radial basis function network having the largest classification value. If the input pattern and an image associated with the node, referred to as a node image, both have uniform illumination, then the node image is accepted and the probability is set above a user specified threshold. If the test image or the node image are not uniform, then the node image is not accepted and the classification value is kept as the value assigned by the classifier. If both the test image and the node image are not uniform, then an NCC measure is used and the classification value is set as the NCC value.

    摘要: A parking advisor images scenes of a parking area and identifies free spaces using image processing techniques. The advisor then makes recommendations as to which areas a driver should go based on the locations of free spaces. One way of outputting the recommendations is to display them on a terminal at an entry gate or to print them on a ticket, receipt, or other piece of paper. An entry terminal may be provided to allow the user to enter a preferred destination served by the parking area. For example, the destination could be a particular airline terminal or department store. The advisor may select, among the free spaces identified, those that are most convenient to the destination and provide corresponding directions.

    摘要: A system and method is provided for selectively activating biometric sensors (102, 104, 106) to authenticate the identity of an individual while conserving system resources. A biometric system has at least two tiers of sensors, first (102) and second tier sensors (104, 106), where the first tier sensors (102) are characteristically less sophisticated and less expensive to operate than the second tier sensors (104, 106). One or more of the second tier sensors (104, 106) are activated only after a user's biometric is successfully or unsuccessfully verified by one of the first tier sensors (102). Alternatively, the second tier sensors (104, 106) are activated in response to a user requesting a particular level of service or in response to an environmental condition. Alternatively, only those sensors are turned on which are compatible with a user's biometric profile.

    摘要: A system and apparatus are disclosed for modeling patterns of behavior of humans or other animate objects and detecting a violation of a repetitive pattern of behavior. The behavior of one or more persons is observed over time and features of the behavior are recorded in a multi-dimensional space. Over time, the multi-dimensional data provides an indication of patterns of human behavior. Activities that are repetitive in terms of time, location and activity, such as sleeping and eating, would appear as a Gaussian distribution or cluster in the multi-dimensional data. Probability distribution functions can be analyzed using known Gaussian or clustering techniques to identify repetitive patterns of behavior and characteristics thereof, such as a mean and variance. Deviations from repetitive patterns of behavior can be detected and an alarm can be triggered, if appropriate.

    摘要: An image processing system is disclosed that provides automatic face or skin blurring for images. All faces or skin can be blurred, or specific faces can be blurred. In one aspect of the invention, a particular face is blurred on an image or on a series of images in a video. Faces are determined in an image, and face matching is performed to match a particular face to faces in the image. If a match is found, the face or a portion of the face is blurred in the image. The blurring is performed on a portion of the image containing the particular face. Blurring may be performed through a variety of techniques. In another aspect of the invention, voice processing is used as an adjunct to or in place of face analysis to determine if a face in an image or series of images should be blurred. In another aspect of the invention, all faces or human skin in an image or series of images is blurred.

    摘要: A transaction card 10 for use in a transaction includes a memory 15 and pressure sensors 20. The authorized user provides biometric data, such as a signature, by signing on the pressure sensors (20) using a pointer for storage in the memory (15) when the card is used for the first time. The signature is not visible on the card for added security. At the point of use of the transaction card (10), such as the point of sale, the user signs on an input device (50) such as a digital tablet, a tablet with pressure sensors or a slip of paper. This newly acquired signature (55) is compared with the signature stored on the transaction card (10), such as by displaying the stored signature out of the view of the user and comparing displayed signature with the acquired signature (55). The comparison may be performed by the service-providing associate or by a processor coupled to the input device (50).
