  • Publication number: 20230289565
    Abstract: A method for the secure use of a first neural network on an input datum, the method including the implementation, by data processing device of a terminal, of the following steps: (a) constructing a second neural network corresponding to the first neural network, into which is inserted, at the input of a target layer of the first neural network, at least one auto-encoder neural network trained to add a parasitic noise to its input; (b) using the second neural network on the input datum.

  • Publication number: 20230097143
    Abstract: A method including: for each image forming part of a plurality of images showing an individual, applying processing to the image so as to produce a biometric template relating to the individual; calculating an average template constituting an average of the biometric templates produced; modifying a chosen image from the plurality of images into a modified image, the modification being adapted so that an error between the average template and a biometric template produced by applying the processing to the modified image is smaller than an error between the average template and the biometric template that has been produced by applying the processing to the chosen image.

  • Patent number: 11386716

  • Patent number: 10636262
    Abstract: Method for monitoring individuals in a place equipped with cameras, the method including the steps of: detecting representative characteristics of an individual in a first zone of the place; detecting representative characteristics of an individual in at least a second zone and comparing these representative characteristics with representative characteristics previously stored in order to determine whether the individual detected in the second zone has been detected in other zones; confirming the determination from a topography of the place by checking consistency of a path of the individual from one zone to another and of the time model by comparing temporal detection information on the representative characteristics in the zones. Device for implementing this method.

  • Patent number: 10403076
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for securing a document including a visual element, carried out by a processing unit comprising processing means, the method comprising generation, from the visual element, of a reference security datum, and storage of the reference security datum, wherein the reference security datum is generated by means of an algorithm configured so as to generate: for any image acquired from the visual element, a security datum whereof the differences relative to the reference security datum are less than a determined threshold, and for any image acquired on a different visual element, a security datum whereof the differences relative to the reference security datum are greater than said threshold.

  • Patent number: 10332016
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method to compare two data obtained from a sensor or interface, carried out by processing means of a processing unit, the method comprising the computing of a similarity function between two feature vectors of the data to be compared, characterized in that each feature vector of a datum is modelled as the summation of Gaussian variables, said variables comprising: a mean of a class to which the vector belongs, an intrinsic deviation, and an observation noise of the vector, each feature vector being associated with a quality vector comprising information on the observation noise of the feature vector, and in that the similarity function is computed from the feature vectors and associated quality vectors.
