Abstract: A computer program product provides for obtaining first and second three-dimensional point clouds from first and second three-dimensional face images. The first three-dimensional point cloud is orthogonally projected onto a two-dimensional plane to form a first two-dimensional point cloud. A first set of initial correspondence points are identified in the first two-dimensional point cloud before orthogonally projecting the identified first set of initial correspondence points from the first two-dimensional point cloud back to the first three-dimensional point cloud to identify a first set of initial correspondence points in the first three-dimensional point cloud.

Abstract: A method for determining a location of a vehicle includes a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) location system in a manufacturing environment. The method includes determining, when a key cycle transition condition of the vehicle and a vehicle gear transition condition of the vehicle are satisfied, a location parameter of the vehicle using an auxiliary location detection system, where the location parameter includes a location of the vehicle, identification information of the vehicle, and a timestamp of the vehicle. The method includes determining a vehicle time period based on the location parameter and a previous location parameter of the vehicle and validating a manufacturing routine of the vehicle when the location parameter satisfies a location condition and the vehicle time period satisfies a time condition.

Abstract: An ultra-fast solution to the problem of comparing genotypes across genotyping technologies, while preserving privacy, is presented. A method for transforming a standard genotype representation (i.e., a list of alleles associated with IDs representing single nucleotide variants) into a “fingerprint” of the genotype does not require knowledge of the SNP chip technology, and yields fingerprints that can be readily compared to ascertain relatedness between two genotypes even if the genotypes were created using different SNP chip designs. Because of their reduced size, computation on the genotype fingerprints is fast and requires little memory. This enables scaling up a variety of important genotype analyses, including determinations of degree of relatedness, recognizing duplicative sequenced genotypes in a set, and many others. Because the original genotype representation cannot be reconstructed from its fingerprint, the method also has significant implications for privacy-preserving genotype analytics.

Abstract: An ultra-fast solution to the problem of comparing genomes across sequencing technologies and genome freezes, while preserving privacy, is presented. A method for transforming a standard genome representation (i.e., a list of variants relative to a reference) into a “fingerprint” of the genome does not require knowledge of the technology, reference and encoding used, and yields fingerprints that can be readily compared to ascertain relatedness between two genome representations. Because of their reduced size, computation on the genome fingerprints is fast and requires little memory. This enables scaling up a variety of important genome analyses, including determinations of degree of relatedness, recognizing duplicative sequenced genomes in a set, and many others. Because the original genome representation cannot be reconstructed from its fingerprint, the method also has significant implications for privacy-preserving genome analytics.
