A method for identifying a log of origin of a first board, comprising an identification step, during which a second board (12) is identified which was obtained from the same log (2) as the first board (11) was obtained from, a studying step, during which identifying features of the second board (12) are identified, and a recognition step during which the log (2) of origin of the first board (11) is recognised, among a plurality of known logs (2) about which saved information is available, and this is done by identifying the log of origin of the second board (12), using the identifying features of the second board (12) itself.

A surface property estimation system includes an image acquisition means for acquiring an image of a surface of an object, an estimation means for estimating a surface property from the acquired image by using an estimation model obtained through machine learning with use of an image of a surface of an object and a surface property shown by the image as training data, an extraction means for extracting, from the acquired image, a feature amount unique to the image, and a registration means for storing the estimated surface property and the extracted feature amount in a storage means in association with each other.

A method, system and mobile device can be used by a subject in diagnosing a disease or virus or other illness. The system can capture and analyze olfactory information providing a diagnosis based on the olfactory information. The system can also capture and output biometric data corresponding to the subject and can further include at least one camera or video sensor that can result in a diagnosis or a microphone or other acoustic sensor that can result in another diagnosis. Other sensors providing other corresponding diagnoses can be included. A sensor fusion component can receive and combine the biometric data and the various diagnoses results and further determine a confidence score. An event record creator compiles the biometric data and the confidence scores to create an event record having a higher confidence score with respect to a final diagnosis result. A data storage device stores the event record.

A physical access control (PAC) system configured to perform a two-factor authentication prior to granting access to a secure area. The PAC system includes an access point device configured to perform facial recognition on a person proximate to the access point device, and perform wireless handshake with a mobile device associated with the person prior to granting or denying entry to the secure area.

An illustrative image processing system extracts a first color-field image from an original color image associated with a set of color-field components. The first color-field image is associated with a first subset of the set of color-field components. The image processing system also extracts a second color-field image from the original color image. The second color-field image is associated with a second subset of the set of color-field components that is different from the first subset. The image processing system detects a first set of features within the first color-field image and a second set of features within the second color-field image. At least one feature is detected within the first color-field image and included in the first set of features while not being detected within the second color-field image or included in the second set of features. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.

The image processing device includes an imaging unit that images a subject and a distance map acquisition unit that acquires information regarding a distance distribution of the subject as map data. The distance map acquisition unit acquires map data with an image deviation amount or a defocused amount related to a captured image or distance map data in conformity with a TOF scheme or an imaging plane phase difference detection scheme of using a pupil division type image sensor. An image processing unit generates data of a texture image in which a low-frequency component of a captured image is inhibited and combines the data of the texture image and the map data acquired by the distance map acquisition unit to generate image data in which a distance distribution of a subject is expressed.

A texture recognition device and a display device are provided. The texture recognition device includes a backlight element, configured to provide first backlight; a light constraint element, configured to perform a light divergence angle constraint process on the first backlight to obtain second backlight with a divergence angle within a preset angle range, the second backlight being transmitted to a detection object; and a photosensitive element, configured to detect the second backlight reflected by a texture of the detection object to recognize a texture image of the texture of the detection object.

A medical image processing device includes an image acquisition unit that acquires an endoscopic image, an bounding box acquisition unit that acquires a bounding box which corresponds to an object to be detected shown in the endoscopic image and in which at least a part of the object to be detected is included, an adjustment unit that changes the position of the bounding box and reduces the area of the bounding box on the basis of the endoscopic image, and a storage controller that associates a new adjusted bounding box with the endoscopic image and stores the new adjusted bounding box and the endoscopic image.

This application relates to the field of digital image processing technologies, and discloses an image-text fusion method and apparatus, and an electronic device, to minimize blockage of a saliency feature in an image by a text when the text is laid out in the image, and obtain a higher visual balance degree after the text is laid out in the first image, thereby achieving a better layout effect. According to the method of this application, first, a plurality of candidate text templates and layout positions of a plurality of corresponding texts in an image can be determined, so that a text laid out in the image does not block a visually salient object having a greater feature value, such as a human face or a building. Then based on magnitudes of feature values of pixels blocked by the text, a balance degree of feature value distribution of pixels in each region in the image in which the text is laid out, and the like when the text is laid out in the image at corresponding layout positions in the image by using different text templates, a final text template of the text and a layout position of the text in the image are determined.
