Abstract: One embodiment provides a method for face liveness detection. The method comprises receiving a first image comprising a face of a user, determining one or more two-dimensional (2D) facial landmark points based on the first image, and determining a three-dimensional (3D) pose of the face in the first image based on the one or more determined 2D facial landmark points and one or more corresponding 3D facial landmark points in a 3D face model for the user. The method further comprises determining a homography mapping between the one or more determined 2D facial landmark points and one or more corresponding 3D facial landmark points that are perspectively projected based on the 3D pose, and determining liveness of the face in the first image based on the homography mapping.

Abstract: This application relates to a hardware interface, and in particular, to a USB Type-C interface used for an electronic device. In this application, a step is disposed on the USB Type-C interface to place a display screen. This shortens a distance from a front display screen of the electronic device to an edge of the electronic device, and increases a screen-to-body ratio.

Abstract: This specification relates to the fields of automobile maintenance and device calibration technologies and discloses a position adjustment apparatus and an automobile calibration device. The position adjustment apparatus includes a slide member, a supporting member and an adjustment member. The supporting member is movably mounted at the slide member. One of the slide member and the supporting member includes a rack. The adjustment member includes a gear. The gear is meshed with the rack. When rotating, the gear can drive the rack to move in a preset direction, to enable the supporting member to move in the preset direction with respect to the slide member. By means of the gear engagement between the gear and the rack, the supporting member can move stably and precisely in the preset direction with respect to the slide member, so that the automobile calibration device and an automobile to be calibrated can be aligned conveniently and precisely.

Abstract: Snippets can be represented in a language-independent semantic manner. Each portion of a snippet can be represented by a combination of a semantic representation and a syntactic representation, each in its own dimensional space. A snippet can be divided into portions by constructing a dependency structure based on relationships between words and phrases. Leaf nodes of the dependency structure can be assigned: A) a semantic representation according to pre-defined word mappings and B) a syntactic representation according to the grammatical use of the word. A trained semantic model can assign to each non-leaf node of the dependency structure a semantic representation based on a combination of the semantic and syntactic representations of the corresponding lower-level nodes. A trained syntactic model can assign to each non-leaf node a syntactic representation based on a combination of the syntactic representations of the corresponding lower-level nodes and the semantic representation of that node.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the fields of automobile maintenance and device calibration technologies and discloses an automobile calibration device. The automobile calibration device includes: a stand apparatus; a supporting assembly, mounted at the stand apparatus and movable in a vertical direction with respect to the stand apparatus; and a drive assembly, configured to drive the supporting assembly to move in the vertical direction with respect to the stand apparatus. In the foregoing manner, the supporting assembly can automatically ascend or descend and manual adjustment of the supporting assembly is avoided.

Abstract: One embodiment provides a method comprising receiving a first input image and a second input image. Each input image comprises a facial image of an individual. For each input image, a first set of facial regions of the facial image is distinguished from a second set of facial regions of the facial image based on a learning based model. The first set of facial regions comprises age-invariant facial features, and the second set of facial regions comprises age-sensitive facial features. The method further comprises determining whether the first input image and the second input images comprise facial images of the same individual by performing face verification based on the first set of facial regions of each input image.

Abstract: A joint connector of a railway vehicle comprises a concave joint (22) and a convex joint (21). A traction load transfer section and/or a compression load transfer section are provided between the concave joint and the convex joint. The traction load transfer section and the compression load transfer section are detachable assembled in the concave joint. The service life of the concave joint is prolonged due to the arrangement of the traction load transfer section and the compression load transfer section.

Abstract: A fingerprint recognition method and an electronic device are provided. The method includes collecting a touch image in a fingerprint collection region of the fingerprint recognition sensor; configuring a correspondence list; determining whether the touch image is consistent with a pre-stored fingerprint sample; and if the touch image is consistent with the pre-stored fingerprint sample, executing a first preset action corresponding to the fingerprint sample; or if the touch image is inconsistent with the pre-stored fingerprint sample, determining whether the touch image meets a preset condition; and if the touch image meets the preset condition, executing a second preset action, calculating a quantity of times of continuously executing the second action, and if the quantity of times of continuously executing the second preset action is greater than or equal to a third preset value, locking the electronic device within a preset time.

Abstract: A method for preparing a direct-writing polyimide additive manufacturing (AM) material includes (1) conducting ultraviolet curing immediately after the photosensitive polyimide ink is subjected to direct-writing extrusion, to obtain a polyimide precursor formed member; and (2) heat-treating the polyimide precursor formed member obtained in step (1) to obtain the direct-writing polyimide AM material.
