20130077836 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ACQUIRING LATENT FINGERPRINT ORIENTATION - A method and device for acquiring latent fingerprint orientation. The method includes: extracting a valid area in a latent fingerprint image; acquiring an orientation field of the valid area and a confidence of coordinate points in the valid area; dividing the orientation field into a first area with a high confidence and a second area with a low confidence; collecting control points in the first area, performing triangulation on control points in the first area and determining differences between control points to determine a set of control points; manually marking control points in the second area, adding control points marked to the set, performing triangulation on control points in the set and determining whether a new manually marked control point is to be added in the set according to a difference determination; and establishing a model for control points in the set to obtain an orientation field of the image. | 03-28-2013 |
20130250181 | METHOD FOR FACE REGISTRATION - A user interface automatically retrieves the preference of a user when a user interacts with a system by detecting his/her image and matching the user image database. The image database stores the physical features of users of a system, which can differentiate between the users of the system. A user registration method transparently registers user into the image database through clustering using learned distance metric from user images. A method of learning a distance metric identifies pair-wise constraints from data points and maximizes the margin between the distances of a first set of pairs and a second set of pairs, which can be further solved via semi-positive definite programming. | 09-26-2013 |
20130294651 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GESTURE RECOGNITION - A system and method for gesture spotting and recognition are provided. Systems and methods are also provided employing Hidden Markov Models (HMM) and geometrical feature distributions of a hand trajectory of a user to achieve adaptive gesture recognition. The system and method provide for acquiring a sequence of input images of a specific user and recognizing a gesture of the specific user from the sequence of input images based on a gesture model and geometrical features extracted from a hand trajectory of the user. State transition points of the gesture model are detected and the geometrical features of the hand trajectory of the user are extracted based on the relative positions of the detected state transition points and a starting point of the gesture. The system and method further provide for adapting the gesture model and geometrical feature distribution for the specific user based on adaptation data. | 11-07-2013 |

The method comprises steps of: establishing an orientation field template base according to M training fingerprints, wherein M is a positive integer larger than one; receiving a fingerprint image to be registered; obtaining an initial orientation field of the fingerprint image; obtaining an estimated position and an estimated direction of the fingerprint image according to the initial orientation field and the orientation field template base; and registering the fingerprint image according to a preset position, a preset direction, the estimated position and the estimated direction. | 02-05-2015 |
20150220547 | SUGGESTING AND REFINING USER INPUT BASED ON ORIGINAL USER INPUT - Systems and methods to generate modified/refined user inputs based on the original user input, such as a search query, are disclosed. The method may be implemented for Roman-based and/or non-Roman based language such as Chinese. The method may generally include receiving an original user input and identifying core terms therein, determining potential alternative inputs by replacing core term(s) in the original input with another term according to a similarity matrix and/or substituting a word sequence in the original input with another word sequence according to an expansion/contraction table where one word sequence is a substring of the other, computing likelihood of each potential alternative input, and selecting most likely alternative inputs according to a predetermined criteria, e.g., likelihood of the alternative input being at least that of the original input. A cache containing pre-computed original user inputs and corresponding alternative inputs may be provided. | 08-06-2015 |
20150347804 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ESTIMATING FINGERPRINT POSE - A method and system for estimating a fingerprint pose are provided. The method includes following steps. A fingerprint image to be estimated is input, features are extracted from the fingerprint image to be estimated in all possible center positions and directions, each feature is scored via a classifier and a center position and direction corresponding to a feature of a highest score is selected as a fingerprint pose estimation result. | 12-03-2015 |
