Abstract: A method and device for behavior recognition based on line-of-sight estimation are provided. The method is as follows. An image is collected. It is detected whether the image includes a face. When the image includes a face, it is determined whether the face in the image is a face with closed eyes. When the face in the image is not with closed eyes, a line-of-sight direction angle of a target to which the face belongs, and a distance between the face and an image collecting unit, are computed. It is determined whether the target has a set behavior based on the line-of-sight direction angle and the distance.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides packet aggregation and disaggregation methods. In the packet aggregation methods, the protocol-independent packet processor (P4) switch stores plural message headers of plural packets in the ring buffer. When the plural message headers stored in the ring buffer reach a pre-defined amount of data, the P4 switch replaces the first flag header in the current packet with a second flag header so as to form a work packet. The egress pipeline of the P4 switch recirculates the work packet repeatedly, whenever it receives a work packet, a message header is extracted from a plurality of message headers in the ring buffer and added to the working packet for packet aggregation.
