  • Patent number: 9742992
    Abstract: A method of tracking an object in a plurality of image frames includes receiving an initial contour associated with the edge object in a first one of the image frames. A plurality of first measurement points distributed non-uniformly along the initial contour are determined. The first measurement points are biased to relatively high information portions of the initial contour. A set of subsequent contours are estimated from the initial contour in a second image frame. An identical plurality of second measurement points are determined along each of the set of estimated subsequent contours in the second image frame using the same non-uniform distribution of the first measurement points in the first image frame. The method selects at least one contour of the set of estimated subsequent contours using a confidence measure determined from the second measurement points as distributed along the selected subsequent contour.

  • Publication number: 20170228431
    Abstract: Optimization of a multi-index database access at runtime. A processor receives a query. A processor determines a plan and a record identifier (RID) results threshold for the plan, wherein the plan includes an access to the index. A processor determines a static risk threshold, a static risk for the access, and whether the static risk exceeds the static risk threshold. Responsive to the static risk exceeding the static risk threshold, a processor determines a risk bound for the access, and links the access to the risk bound. A processor accesses the index with the key. Responsive to the access being linked to a risk bound, a processor determines a dynamic risk for the access. A processor receives one or more RID results during the execution of the plan. A processor aborts the execution of the plan if a quantity of the RID results is less than the RID results threshold.

  • Patent number: 9711760
    Abstract: In various embodiments, a light-emitting device may be provided including an active structure including a halide perovskite layer. The light-emitting device may further include a first injection electrode and a second injection electrode electrically coupled to the active structure. The light-emitting device may additionally include a control electrode, and an insulator layer between the control electrode and the active structure. The first injection electrode may be configured to inject electrons into the active structure and the second injection electrode may be configured to inject holes into the active structure upon application of a potential difference between the first injection electrode and the second injection electrode. The control electrode may be configured to generate an electric field upon application of a voltage, thereby causing accumulation of the electrons and the holes in a region of the halide perovskite layer so that the electrons and the holes recombine, thereby emitting light.

  • Patent number: 9697236
    Abstract: Architecture that addresses page information lost as part of a selection process in a search engine framework. An aggregation process collects all page or document information from the same image cluster and uses the aggregated page information to annotate one or more selected image-page pairs within the same image cluster. Once the entire set of descriptive terms is received, the entire set of descriptive terms or only an optimum set of top N descriptive terms of the entire set is for annotation of one or more of the representative images in the cluster.

  • Patent number: 9524444
    Abstract: A method of determining a contour segment for an object in an image captured by a camera is disclosed. A plurality of corner points located on a part of an object in the image is determined. Pairs of corner points are selected from the determined corner points. A path for at least one of the pairs of corner points is determined, the path connecting the corner points of the at least one pair of corner points along the boundary of the object. The contour segment is determined for the object using the determined path.

  • Patent number: 9524441
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for identity authentication based on face recognition. The method comprises: initiating an interaction authentication request, which includes requested interaction tracks, and sending the interaction authentication request to an authentication client; receiving face interaction information sent by the authentication client; extracting face action tracks from the face interaction information; determining whether the face action tracks are consistent with the requested interaction tracks; if the face action tracks are consistent with the requested interaction tracks, determining that the authentication is passed, otherwise determining that the authentication fails. The above solution could prevent the authentication server from being cheated by face pictures or videos taken previously and could ensure that the face pictures or videos passing the authentication is taken in real time from a real person.
