Patents by Inventor Jia-Hua WU

Jia-Hua WU has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10445564
    Abstract: A method for recognizing face expressions is provided. The method includes: recognizing expression categories of expressions in a plurality of face images and obtaining recognition results between each expression category and another expression category; obtaining similarities between each expression category and another expression category according to the recognition results; classifying the expression categories into a plurality of expression groups according to the similarities; training a first recognition model to classify the expressions in the face images into the expression groups; and training a second recognition model for each of the expression groups to classify the face images in each of the expression group into one of the expression categories.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 20, 2017
    Date of Patent: October 15, 2019
    Assignee: INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH INSTITUTE

  • Patent number: 10269120
    Abstract: A character recognition method is provided, including the steps of: recognizing a character string, which includes one or more characters, in a region of interest (ROI) using a first convolutional neural network (CNN) model to generate a recognized character string; and comparing the recognized character string with a plurality of character strings in a character database to find a character string corresponding to the recognized character string, wherein each of the character strings includes one or more characters; wherein if the character string corresponding to the recognized character string is found, the recognized character string is used as a character recognition result, otherwise, using a second CNN model to correct the recognized string and generate a new recognized character string as the character recognition result.
