Abstract: The disclosure facilitates fingerprint recognition, user authentication, and prevention of loss of control of personal information and identity theft. The disclosure also facilitates identifying spoofed fingerprint authentication attempts, and/or securing user touch sensitive devices against spoofed fingerprint authentication attempts.

Abstract: An object detection system for used in a vehicle includes an object detector is provided. One or more fisheye lens cameras coupled to an object detection system are positioned at various location of the vehicle for capturing a field of view (FOV) into an image. The image is split into multiple different set of perspective images. Each perspective images may include a portion of overlap having common or identical object of interest. The object detector classifies various objects of interest in the perspective images, estimates distance of objects of interest from the vehicle using camera calibration information stored in one of the camera, and transmits the sensed information that corresponds to the distance of interest to a processor.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus and method for retrieving a song, and a storage medium. The electronic apparatus includes: a storage unit which stores a plurality of songs; a user input unit which receives a hummed query which is inputted for retrieving a song; and a song retrieving unit which retrieves a song based on the hummed query from among the plurality of stored songs when the hummed query is received. The song retrieving unit extracts a pitch and a duration of the hummed query, converts each of the extracted pitch and duration into multi-level symbols, calculates a string edit distance between the hummed query and one of the plurality of songs based on the symbols, and determines a similarity between the hummed query and a song based on edit operations which are performed within the calculated string edit distance.
