  • Patent number: 10984215
    Abstract: A method of recognizing a fingerprint is implemented by dividing a sensor matrix of a mobile terminal into a plurality of blocks by rows. Each of the blocks is under control of an independent switch terminal. When performing fingerprint unlocking, only an area covered by the fingerprint is being scanned, while an area not covered by the fingerprint is not to be scanned, thereby significantly reducing a scanning area, shortening a scanning time, improving unlocking efficiency, fulfilling fast fingerprint unlocking, and reducing power consumption. A mobile terminal is also provided and includes a multiplexer configured to divide the sensor matrix into a plurality of blocks. Each of the blocks can independently perform fingerprint recognition scanning. When fingerprint unlocking is carried out, there is no need to scan an entire area of the sensor matrix, thereby improving unlocking efficiency and saving electric energy.

  • Publication number: 20200151518
    Abstract: A regularized multi-metric active learning (AL) image classification system which includes three main parts. First, a regularized multi-metric learning process is utilized to jointly learn distinct metrics for different types of image features from remotely sensed image data. The regularizer incorporates the unlabeled data based on the neighborhood relationship, which helps avoid overfitting at early stages of AL, when the quantity of training data is particularly small. Then, as AL proceeds, the regularizer is also updated through similarity propagation, thus taking advantage of informative labeled samples. Finally, multiple features are projected into a common feature space, in which a batch-mode AL strategy combining uncertainty and diversity is utilized in conjunction with k-nearest neighbor (kNN) classification to enrich the set of labeled samples.
