| 20110106734 | SYSTEM AND APPARTUS FOR FAILURE PREDICTION AND FUSION IN CLASSIFICATION AND RECOGNITION - The present invention relates to pattern recognition and classification, more particularly, to a system and method for meta-recognition which can to predict success/failure for a variety of different recognition and classification applications. In the present invention, we define a new approach based on statistical extreme value theory and show its theoretical basis for predicting success/failure based on recognition or similarity scores. By fitting the tails of similarity or distance scores to an extreme value distribution, we are able to build a predictor that significantly outperforms random chance. The proposed system is effective for a variety of different recognition applications, including, but not limited to, face recognition, fingerprint recognition, object categorization and recognition, and content-based image retrieval system. One embodiment includes adapting machine learning approach to address meta-recognition based fusion at multiple levels, and provide an empirical justification for the advantages of these fusion element. This invention provides a new score normalization that is suitable for multi-algorithm fusion for recognition and classification enhancement. | 05-05-2011 |

| 20080267403 | System and method for privacy enhancement via adaptive cryptographic embedding - The system and method enhances privacy and security by determining parts of a data stream that should not be publicly available and doing in-place encryption of that data while leaving the remaining data unencrypted for direct usage in security. The system is composed of a designator, that determines what parts of the data stream require protection, and a protector, that performs the in-place encryption. The resulting protected data stream can be played/displayed using the same standard technology as for the original data stream, with the encrypted portions appearing as random noise. The system also supports an extractor, which can, given access to the appropriate keys, invert the encryption and provide back the original data stream. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20090271634 | Bio-Cryptograhpy : Secure cryptographic protocols with bipartite biotokens - Techniques, systems and methods are described relating to combining biometric and cryptographic techniques to support securely embedding data within a token and subsequent biometrically-enabled recovery of said data. Various transformation approaches are described that provide a secure means for transforming a stored or live, secure biometric-based identity token, embedding data into such tokens and biometric-based matching to both verify the user's identity and recover the embedded data. Security enhancements to a range of existing protocols are described using the techniques. Systems using novel protocols based on these techniques are described | 10-29-2009 |

| 20090022374 | Revocable biometrics with robust distance metrics - Techniques, systems and methods relating to cryptographically secure revocable biometric signatures and identification computed with robust distance metrics are described. Various biometric cryptographically secure revocable transformation approaches are described that support a robust pseudo-distance computation in encoded form, thereby supporting confidence in verification, and which can provide for verification without identification. | 01-22-2009 |
