An aircraft-based pilot safety system (PSS) includes cameras or other gaze sensors fixed at an aircraft pilot and configured to capture an image stream focused on the pilot's eyes. The gaze sensors continually assess the gaze direction of the pilot (e.g., toward a display, instrument panel, and/or indicator within the cockpit that the pilot is currently looking at or focusing on) and thereby can establish when the pilot is executing a scan pattern and if that scan pattern is nominal for the current flight context by comparing the scan pattern to context-specific reference scan patterns. If, for example, the pilot's gaze deviates from where it should be (e.g., as determined by the current flight segment) or the current scan pattern is interrupted, the system may prompt the pilot to redirect their gaze or resume the scan pattern.

Systems, methods and apparatus for multi-realm, computer-generated reality systems are disclosed. In an aspect, a multi-realm, computer-generated reality system may admit a plurality of participants to a session conducted in a managed multi-realm reality system, wherein each of the plurality of participants is admitted through a virtual reality context, extended reality context or an augmented reality context. The system may receive information generated by one or more sensors associated with a first participant of the plurality of participants. The system may collect performance data for each of the plurality of participants within the computer generated multi-realm reality, wherein each of the plurality of participants have performance measurements associated with one or more performance data groupings.

The processor can execute a first application, confirm a security level of the first application, and authorize the first application with an authority for controlling at least one of the image sensor, the infrared filter and the infrared light-emitting unit according to the confirmed security level of the first application.

Method and apparatus for operating home appliances, the method includes identifying a home appliance in a field view of a camera of an augmented reality (AR) device; generating, based on the home appliance that was identified, a control interface to overlay on a screen of the AR device or to present within an augmented view of a user that carries the AR device; detecting a selection by the user of control options on the control interface; and triggering the home appliance to perform an operation based on the selection.

The present disclosure provides a method and a device for retina image recognition, an electronic equipment, and a storage medium, the method including: acquiring a retinal image; classifying the retinal image by using a first neural network model to obtain an image classification result; if the image classification result meets a preset condition, segmenting the retinal image by using a second neural network model to obtain an image segmentation result; generating a recognition result of the retinal image according to the image segmentation result and in combination with a decision tree model.

An imaging apparatus for authentication includes: a first imaging unit that obtains a first image used in a first authentication process by imaging a target person; a second imaging unit that obtains a second image used in a second image process by imaging the target person in an imaging range narrower than that of the first imaging unit; a drive unit that integrally drives the first imaging unit and the second imaging unit; and a drive control unit that controls the drive unit on the basis of the first image.

Methods, apparatus, and processor-readable storage media for linking individual biometric data to protected resources accessed via user devices are provided herein. An example computer-implemented method includes obtaining biometric data associated with users of a user device and identifying information pertaining to the biometric data; outputting the identifying information pertaining to the of biometric data and identifying information pertaining to protected resources; linking at least a portion of the multiple sets of biometric data to one of the protected resources based on input from at least a first of the users in response to the outputting step; processing, in response to an authentication request in connection with an attempt to access the protected resource by the at least first user, biometric data input to the user device; and resolving the authentication request in response to a determination that the input biometric data match the biometric data linked to the protected resource.

A system and corresponding method are disclosed for biometric operations. The system may comprise an illumination source, a polarization selector, an imager, and a controller. The illumination source may illuminate a biometric feature. The polarization selector may receive light reflected from the biometric feature and be operable between two states selectively transmitting different polarizations. The imager may receive the light selectively transmitted by the polarization selector and generate one or more images. The controller may perform a biometric authentication based, at least in part, on the one or more images. In operation, the polarization selector may switch between states so that the system may capture two separate image sets, each based on light of a different polarization. Accordingly, adverse reflections, such as those off an eyeball or glasses, may be substantially eliminated or reduced in at least one of the image sets.

A biometric exit system controls exit of a person from an area with an asset. The system obtains a digital representation of a biometric for the person. The system receives an identification of the person using the digital representation of the biometric. Using the identification, the system receives permissions regarding whether or not the person may exit the area with the asset. If the person is permitted, the system allows the person to exit. Upon allowing exit, the system may transmit a message to the person. The message may include a confirmation of a transaction and/or one or more offers to which the person can respond.

A biometric capture device is operative to adjust one or more environmental parameters to enhance a range (e.g., distance) at which a biometric may be captured from a subject. For example, a sample biometric capture device may be, include, or otherwise incorporate a retinal or iris scanner configured to capture an image of the retina or iris (e.g., a biometric) when the retina or iris is illuminated by infrared light. Generally, the amount of infrared light required to accurately image the retina or iris increases with the distance of the subject's retina or iris from the image capture device. The biometric capture device may capture a facial image using a first image sensor, identify a face in the facial image, capture an iris image using a second image sensor guided by the facial image, and identify a person using the iris image.
