  • Publication number: 20240081705
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a non-contact fatigue detection system and method based on rPPG. The system and method adopt multi-thread synchronous communication for real-time acquisition and processing of rPPG signal, enabling fatigue status detection. In this setup, the first thread handles real-time rPPG data capture, storage and concatenation, while the second thread conducts real-time analysis and fatigue detection of rPPG data. Through a combination of skin detection and LUV color space conversion, rPPG raw signal extraction is achieved, effectively eliminating interference from internal and external environmental facial noise; Subsequently, an adaptive multi-stage filtering process enhances the signal-to-noise ratio, and a multi-dimensional fusion CNN model ensures accurate detection of respiration and heart rate.

  • Publication number: 20220004794
    Abstract: A computer device extracts an image feature of an image that includes one or more characters to be recognized. The image feature includes a plurality of image feature vectors. The device uses an attention mechanism to compute and output attention weight values corresponding to the target number of characters, based on the image feature vectors, through parallel computing. Each of the attention weight values corresponds to one or more respective characters and represents an importance of the plurality of image feature vectors for the respective characters. The device obtains at least one character according to the plurality of image feature vectors and the target number of attention weight values. Therefore, in a character recognition process, with recognition based on the foregoing attention mechanism, a character in any shape can be effectively recognized by using a simple procedure, thereby avoiding a cyclic operation process and greatly improving operation efficiency.
