Abstract: System and method for improving the shaving experience by providing improved visibility of the skin shaving area. A digital camera is integrated with the electric shaver for close image capturing of shaving area, and displaying it on a display unit. The display unit can be integral part of the electric shaver casing, or housed in a separated device which receives the image via a communication channel. The communication channel can be wireless (using radio, audio or light) or wired, such as dedicated cabling or using powerline communication. A light source is used to better illuminate the shaving area. Video compression and digital image processing techniques are used for providing for improved shaving results. The wired communication medium can simultaneously be used also for carrying power from the electric shaver assembly to the display unit, or from the display unit to the electric shaver.

Abstract: A hazardous behavior determining unit (3) determines a vehicle that is conducting or is likely to conduct hazardous driving from among one or more vehicles around a host vehicle and a type of the hazardous driving using information indicating states of the host vehicle and the vehicles and a surrounding situation and behavior information stored in an onboard database (2). A registered vehicle identifying unit (5) identifies a vehicle that corresponds to hazardous vehicle information stored in the onboard database (2) by collating numbers of a license plate detected by a number detecting unit (4) with numbers stored in the onboard database (2). A hazard predicting unit (6) predicts a risk to the host vehicle using the determination result from the hazardous behavior determining unit (3) and the identification result from the registered vehicle identifying unit (5).

Abstract: An approach for an iris liveness detection is provided. A plurality of image pairs is acquired using one or more image sensors of a mobile device. A particular image pair is selected from the plurality of image pairs, and a hyperspectral image is generated for the particular image pair. Based on, at least in part, the hyperspectral image, a particular feature vector for the eye-iris region depicted in the particular image pair is generated, and one or more trained model feature vectors generated for facial features of a particular user of the device are retrieved. Based on, at least in part, the particular feature vector and the one or more trained model feature vectors, a distance metric is determined and compared with a threshold. If the distance metric exceeds the threshold, then a first message indicating that the plurality of image pairs fails to depict the particular user is generated.
