  • Publication number: 20230259594
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatuses, processes, and computer-readable media to implement a heterogenous biometric authentication process in a control system. For example, a method may include detecting the presence of a first person at a first time period and in an area associated with a function controlled by a control system. The method may include transmitting an authentication request to a first device detected by the control system, and receiving an authentication response from the first device. The authentication response includes information related to a biometric authentication performed at the first device. The method may further include authenticating the first person in the control system based on the information related to the biometric authentication. The method may then perform the function based on the authentication.

  • Patent number: 10628961
    Abstract: Techniques and systems are provided for tracking objects in one or more images. For example, a trained network can be applied to a first image of a sequence of images to detect one or more objects in the first image. The trained network can be applied to less than all images of the sequence of images. A second image of the sequence of images and a detection result from application of the trained network to the first image are obtained. The detection result includes the detected one or more objects from the first image. A first object tracker can be applied to the second image using the detection result from application of the trained network to the first image. Applying the first object tracker can include adjusting one or more locations of one or more bounding boxes associated with the detected one or more objects in the second image to track the detected one or more objects in the second image.

  • Patent number: 10341568
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for assisting a user in performing a three dimensional scan of an object. An example user device to assist with scanning may include a processor. The user device may further include a scanner coupled to the processor and configured to perform a three dimensional scan of an object. The user device may also include a display to display a graphical user interface, wherein the display is coupled to the processor. The user device may further include a memory coupled to the processor and the display, the memory including one or more instructions that when executed by the processor cause the graphical user interface to display a target marker for a three dimensional (3D) scan and display a scanner position marker to assist in moving the scanner to a preferred location and direction.
