    摘要: A device for carrying out of biometric identification by comparing face shapes. The shape of a first face is compared with the shape of a second face. A map can be determined between the shapes. The shape, and hence the comparison, is substantially independent of pose and lighting, and also parts of the shape can be removed from the comparison in order to enhance the recognition.

    摘要: A face recognition device which operates in sunlit conditions such as in sunlight, or in indirect sunlight. The device operates without projection of light or other illumination to the face. Stereo information indicative of the face shape is obtained, and used to construct a 3D model. That model is compared to other models of known faces, and used to verify identity based on the comparison.

    摘要: Architecture that facilitates relevance analysis for user queries for items of interest (e.g., businesses) for which social relevance (the composition of people frequenting the business) of the environment. The social relevance can be determined based on social data related to other people using techniques such as cross referencing social distance, social network activities with geolocation and check-in data, time/date information associated with social content, and text mining to inform and validate conclusions. The social relevance of many users and historical trends of the data can be combined to compute scores for the items of interest. Additionally, the social relevance of persons currently visiting the business can be used to compute a current score. Predictions can be computed for specific points in time in the future. The techniques can augment, filter, and/or add “coolness” information to search results, within a general purpose, a local-oriented search page or an application.

    摘要: Techniques for generating a 3D region from a surrounding imagery are disclosed. The surrounding imagery comprising a sequence of side view images taken respectively at a known position around an object. The images are preprocessed to generate corresponding sequence of mask images. To accelerate the subsequent space carving process, each of the mask images is encoded uniquely using what is called herein a Maximal Area Encoding scheme. In the space carving process, volumetric cells or cubes representing the object are recursively subdivided to gradually fit the object by “carving” away those cubes that are not occupied by any of the object. All cubes are encoded and indexed using an octree structure.

    摘要: The storage and/or transmission of image bubbles may be managed for effective use of space and/or time. In one example, a street-view application allows a user to navigate through an image at ground level. The application makes use of panoramic images called “bubbles,” which are captured at spatial intervals. The user can navigate through the images by changing position, or by changing the direction of view. Various aspects of how the bubbles are stored or transmitted may be controlled, in order to make effective use of the bandwidth that is available to transmit the bubbles. Examples of these aspects may include: how much of a given bubble is transmitted; the resolution at which the bubble is transmitted; and/or the spatial frequency at which the user moves through the bubbles.

    摘要: A 3D modeling system for automatically generating fully-textured 3D models of objects from a sequence of images taken around the objects is disclosed. There are several processes developed to facilitate the operation of the 3D modeling system by an ordinary skilled person. One of the processes is the automatic calibration of a camera using only a portion of a calibration disc to essentially provide a larger effective field of view of the camera. Another process is a space carving process that subdivides volumetric cells recursively to fit to a 3D object using a tree structure that encodes the entire process. Still another process is a 3D mesh model generation process that begins with the tree structure and generates self-constraint and interconnected triangles, in a sense that all triangles intersect with each other either not at all or at common boundary faces, to represent the shape of the 3D object. Yet still another process is a textured patch process that provides a useful mechanism for a user to edit and modify a fully-textured 3D model in a desired manner by the user.
