Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture to improve image recognition searching are disclosed. In some embodiments, a first document image of a known object is used to generate one or more other document images of the same object by applying one or more techniques for synthetically generating images. The synthetically generated images correspond to different variations in conditions under which a potential query image might be captured. Extracted features from an initial image of a known object and features extracted from the one or more synthetically generated images are stored, along with their locations, as part of a common model of the known object. In other embodiments, image recognition search effectiveness is improved by transforming the location of features of multiple images of a same known object into a common coordinate system. This can enhance the accuracy of certain aspects of existing image search/recognition techniques including, for example, geometric verification.

This document describes techniques for fine-motion virtual-reality or augmented-reality control using radar. These techniques enable small motions and displacements to be tracked, even in the millimeter or sub-millimeter scale, for user control actions even when those actions are small, fast, or obscured due to darkness or varying light. Further, these techniques enable fine resolution and real-time control, unlike conventional RF-tracking or optical-tracking techniques.

A spoofing detection apparatus comprises obtaining, from an image capture apparatus, a first image frame that includes the face of a subject person obtained when a light-emitting apparatus is emitting light and a second image frame that includes the face of the subject person obtained when the light-emitting apparatus is turned off, extracting, from the first image frame, information specifying a face portion of the subject person, and extract, from the second image frame, information specifying a face portion of the subject person, extracting a portion that includes a bright point formed by reflection in an iris region of an eye of the subject person, from the first image frame, extracts a portion corresponding to the portion that includes the bright point, from the second image frame, and calculates a feature that is independent of the position of the bright point, and determining authenticity of subject person based on the feature.
