摘要:
A computer based image processing system uses an extraction process to include a pressure invariant feature for measuring distances between minutiae. The feature extraction process identifies one or more of the following features of the fingerprint: an orthogonal image contrast, a parallel image contrast, and a feature confidence. A ridge counter process, executing on the computer system, determines the number of ridges (ridge count) running across two given points and further qualifies (invalidates) this count if the confidence value of the pixels in the region adjoining the region is not reliable. The ridge count feature between minutiae is used for determining reliable features when matching fingerprints.
摘要:
A computer based image processing system uses an extraction process to extract one or more features from a target fingerprint image. The feature extraction process identifies one or more of the following features of the fingerprint: orthogonal image contrast, parallel image contrast, feature confidence, distance between two minutia, neighbor information, angle-distance between two minutia, angle-distance neighbor information, minutiae density, ridge length, ridge density, and wiggle factor. A pruner process, executing on the computer system, determines if one or more of the features meet any one or more of a set of pruning criteria, and that deletes the minutiae if the pruning criteria is met. The pruning process is based on (i) locations and image contrast, (ii) the distances, orientations of minutiae and (iii) spatial distributions of minutiae and ridges of the fingerprint. The minutiae that remain after the pruning can be used for feature matching.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a system, method, and program product to determine whether a product has been successfully purchased by identifying in a video record when a movement of a product adjacent to a scanner occurs, and whether the scanner did not record a purchase transaction at that time; measuring a difference in time between the time of the movement of the product and a time of another movement of a product, and determining by a trained support vector machine a likelihood that the product was successfully purchased. Alternately, the difference in time can be measured between the time of the movement of the product and a time of a transaction record, or between the time of the movement of the product and a boundary time. The support vector machine can use a radial basis function kernel and can generate a decision value and a confidence score.

A computer identifies a proto-object in a digital image using a background subtraction method, the proto-object being associated with a lighting artifact in the surveillance region. The background subtraction method preserves boundary details and interior texture details of proto-objects associated with lighting artifacts. A plurality of characteristics of the proto-object digital data are determined, the characteristics, individually or in combination, distinguish a proto-object related to a lighting artifact from its background. A learning machine, trained with the plurality of characteristics of proto-objects classified as either foreground or not foreground, determines a likelihood that the plurality of characteristics is associated with a foreground object.

Local models learned from anomaly detection are used to rank detected anomalies. The local models include image feature values extracted from an image field of video image data with respect to different predefined spatial and temporal local units, wherein anomaly results are determined by failures to fit to applied anomaly detection module local models. Image features values extracted from the image field local units associated with anomaly results are normalized, and image feature values extracted from the image field local units are clustered. Weights for anomaly results are learned as a function of the relations of the normalized extracted image feature values to the clustered image feature values. The normalized values are multiplied by the learned weights to generate ranking values to rank the anomalies.

A method and system for inspecting railway components. The method includes receiving a stream of images containing railway components, detecting a railway component in each image, generating a plurality of feature vectors for each railway component image, measuring the dissimilarity between the railway component and a set of railway components detected in preceding images, in a sliding window, based on the feature vectors.

A method, data processing system, and computer program product for identifying abnormalities in data. A model representing a plurality of modes for an activity generated from training data is retrieved. The training data includes a first plurality of measurements of a first performance of the activity over a period of time. Each of the plurality of modes is identified as one of normal and abnormal. Activity data including a second plurality of measurements of a second performance of the activity is received. A portion of the activity data is compared with the plurality of modes in the model. A notification of an abnormality in the second performance of the activity is generated in response to an identification that the portion of the activity data matches a mode in the plurality of modes identified as abnormal. Confirmation of the abnormality is requested via a user interface.

Human behavior is determined by sequential event detection by constructing a temporal-event graph with vertices representing adjacent first and second primitive images of a plurality of individual primitive images parsed from a video stream, and also of first and second idle states associated with the respective first and second primitive images. Constructing the graph is a function of an edge set between the adjacent first and second primitive images, and an edge weight set as a function of a discrepancy between computed visual features within regions of interest common to the adjacent first and second primitive images. A human activity event is determined as a function of a shortest distance path of the temporal-event graph vertices.

The present invention provides a solution for controlling checkout throughput. Specifically, under the present invention a set of attributes of an item will be obtained. An analysis of the set of attributes will then be performed to determine whether an inconsistency exists based on a tolerance threshold. Such analysis can include, for example, comparing the weight of the item to its expected weight. This can help determine if a mistake has been made or fraud has been committed. Whether an inconsistency is observed is based on a tolerance threshold. For example, a certain deviation (i.e., the tolerance threshold) from an expected value could be allowed to could be allowed to reduce errors during the checkout process and thereby increase checkout throughput. As such, the present invention allows the tolerance threshold to be tuned based on a desired checkout throughput.
