  • Patent number: 11423700
    Abstract: A method, an apparatus, a device and a computer-readable storage medium for recognizing aerial handwriting are provided. The method may include detecting a palm region of a user in a two-dimensional grayscale image; detecting a fingertip in the two-dimensional gray-scale image based on the palm area; determining a spatial trajectory of the fingertip based on a set of two-dimensional gray-scale images, the set of two-dimensional gray-scale images including the two-dimensional gray-scale image; and recognizing handwritten content of the user based on the spatial trajectory. A two-dimensional gray-scale image is used to recognize and track the spatial trajectory of the fingertip, which may speed up aerial handwriting recognition, and has low processing performance requirements for the device, while also ensuring high accuracy.

  • Patent number: 10796179
    Abstract: The present application discloses a live human face verification method and device. The device acquires face images captured by at least two cameras and performs feature point registration on the face images according to preset face feature points, to obtain corresponding feature point combinations between the face images. After fitting out a homography transformation matrix among the feature point combinations, the device calculates transformation errors of the feature point combinations using the homography transformation matrix to obtain an error calculation result, and performing live human face verification of the face images according to the error calculation result. The embodiments of the present application do not need to calibrate the cameras, so the amount of calculation of a living body judgment algorithm can be reduced; moreover, the cameras can be freely placed, and thereby the flexibility and convenience of living body judgment can be increased.

  • Publication number: 20130097697
    Abstract: A security module generates a random image having a plurality of password-element indicators therein. The random image is provided to a user. The user selects portions of the random image. The security module determines whether the selected portions of the random image correspond to a password for the user. The security module grants access if the selected portions of the random image correspond to the user's password. However, if the selected portions of the random image do not correspond to the user's password, the security module may generate another random image having a plurality of password-element indicators therein, wherein each of the random images are computationally de-correlated.
