Patent number: 11823488Abstract: Biometric input, such as an image of a hand, may be processed to determine embedding vector data that may be used to identify users. Accuracy of the identification is improved by using high resolution inputs to a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) that is trained to generate the embedding vector data that is representative of features in the input. Training data sets are expensive to develop and thus may be relatively small. During training of the DCNN, confidence loss values corresponding to the entire input as well as particular patches or portions of the input are determined. These patch-wise confidence loss values mitigate potential overfitting during training of the DCNN and improve overall performance of the trained DCNN to determine embedding vector data suitable for identification.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2021Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Rajeev Ranjan, Manoj Aggarwal, Gerard Guy Medioni

Patent number: 11804060Abstract: A pair of input images acquired using a first modality and a second modality is processed using a multi-classifier trained to determine classification data indicative of whether the pair is normal or abnormal. A pair may be deemed abnormal if one or both input images are obscured or inconsistent with one another. Training data comprising normal and abnormal images are used to train the multi-classifier. During training, the multi-classifier uses an objective function that includes cross entropy loss, distance loss, and discrepancy loss to process the training data. During use, the trained multi-classifier processes a pair of input images. If the resulting classification data indicates the pair of input images are normal, the pair of input images may be processed to assert an identity.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2021Date of Patent: October 31, 2023Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Rui Zhao, Manoj Aggarwal, Gerard Guy Medioni, Dilip Kumar

Patent number: 11763551Abstract: An authentication engine, residing at one or more computing machines, receives, from a vision device comprising one or more cameras, a probe image. The authentication engine generates, using a trained facial classification neural engine, one or more first labels for a person depicted in the probe image and a probability for at least one of the one or more first labels. The authentication engine determines that the probability is within a predefined low accuracy range. The authentication engine generates, using a supporting engine, a second label for the person depicted in the probe image. The supporting engine operates independently of the trained facial classification neural engine. The authentication engine further trains the facial classification neural engine based on the second label.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2020Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignee: ASSA ABLOY ABInventors: Kapil Sachdeva, Sylvain Jacques Prevost
