  • Publication number: 20180082107
    Abstract: Methods and systems may provide for facial recognition of at least one input image utilizing hierarchical feature learning and pair-wise classification. Receptive field theory may be used on the input image to generate a pre-processed multi-channel image. Channels in the pre-processed image may be activated based on the amount of feature rich details within the channels. Similarly, local patches may be activated based on the discriminant features within the local patches. Features may be extracted from the local patches and the most discriminant features may be selected in order to perform feature matching on pair sets. The system may utilize patch feature pooling, pair-wise matching, and large-scale training in order to quickly and accurately perform facial recognition at a low cost for both system memory and computation.

  • Publication number: 20180069525
    Abstract: An input/output apparatus of a multiplexer is provided, including: a main tap and at least two branch taps of the main tap, where each of the at least two branch taps is configured to couple to a different resonant cavity in the multiplexer, and the at least two branch taps include a first branch tap and a second branch tap; a coupling polarity of the first branch tap is opposite to that of the second branch tap; and a coupling calculation frequency of the second branch tap is closest to a coupling calculation frequency of the first branch tap. The input/output apparatus of the multiplexer enables two channels with closest frequencies to use different coupling polarities. Because the coupling polarities are different, signals naturally do not interfere with each other, and signal interference between channels is eliminated in principle. The embodiments of the present disclosure further provide a corresponding multiplexer.

  • Patent number: 9886771
    Abstract: An image processing system and/or method obtains source images in which a damaged vehicle is represented, and performs image processing techniques to determine, predict, estimate, and/or detect damage that has occurred at various locations on the vehicle. The image processing techniques may include generating a composite image of the damaged vehicle, aligning and/or isolating the image, applying convolutional neural network techniques to the image to generate damage parameter values, where each value corresponds to damage in a particular location of vehicle, and/or other techniques. Based on the damage values, the image processing system/method generates and displays a heat map for the vehicle, where each color and/or color gradation corresponds to respective damage at a respective location on the vehicle. The heat map may be manipulatable by the user, and may include user controls for displaying additional information corresponding to the damage at a particular location on the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 9772826
    Abstract: Build-time resolution and type-enforcing of corresponding references in different code that references the same value. In response to detecting a directive within the code itself that a first reference in first code is to be correlated with a second reference in second code, and in response to detection that the types of the references are the same, a code generation tool generates correlation code that is interpretable to a compiler as allowing a value of a type of the first reference of a compiled-form of the first code to be passed as the same value of the same type of the second reference of a compiled-form of the second code. The first code, the second code, and the generated correlation code may then be compiled. If compilation is successful, this means that the first and second references are already properly resolved as referring to the same value and type-enforced.

    Abstract: An employee compensation modeling approach generates a model from a stored template. The model template may include fields for eligibility rules, performance ratings, guidelines, exchange rates, pay ranges, and other information. A modeling engine then populates that model with specific data from a human resources (HR) database, according to the structure of the template. Examples of HR data stored in an underlying database can include employee names, job codes, pay grades, physical job locations, base salaries, and other compensation-relevant information. The resulting compensation model includes a name, a description, target(s), and other information including allocation(s). The compensation model is displayed on an interface configured to receive further user inputs for purposes of model exploration and/or update.
