The device includes a scanning unit being configured to generate a scan information by scanning the analog document and to store the scan information in a storing element being provided on the analog document, and a verification unit being configured to verify the content of the analog document using the stored scan information. Further, a corresponding method for verifying a content of an analog document is provided. Using the provided device for verifying the content of an analog document, it can be ensured that the content of the analog document is not changed by an attacker. If the content is changed, the verification would fail.

A computer-implemented technique includes techniques are presented for user image capture feedback for improved machine language translation. When machine language translation of OCR text obtained from an initial image has a low degree of likelihood of being an appropriate translation, these techniques provide for user image capture feedback to obtain additional images to obtain a modified OCR text, which can result in improved machine language translation results. Instead of user image capture feedback, the techniques may obtain the modified OCR text by selecting another possible OCR text from the initial OCR operation. In addition to additional image capturing, light source intensity and/or a quantity/number of light source flashes can be adjusted. After obtaining the modified OCR text, another machine language translation can be obtained and, if it has a high enough degree of likelihood, it can then be output to a user.

According to an embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes an attribute determiner and a setter. Each of acquired first sets indicates a combination of observation information indicating a result of observation of an area surrounding a moving body and position information. The attribute determiner is configured to determine, based on the observation information, an attribute of each of areas into which the area surrounding the moving body is divided, and to generate second sets, each indicating a combination of attribute information indicating the attribute of each area and the position information. The setter is configured to set, based on the second sets, reliability of the attribute of the area of a target second set, from correlation between the attribute of the area of the target second set and the attribute of corresponding areas each indicating the area corresponding to the target area in the areas of the other second sets.

A method of correcting charge values acquired from a capacitive fingerprint sensor, comprising acquiring a list of one or more defective capacitive sensor elements and for defective capacitive sensor element in the list, selecting its position as a first position and:

performing a first operation by placing a first filter window about the first position and computing a replacement value for the first position from charge values within the first filter window, but forgoing computing a replacement value for the first position in case a first threshold number of defective capacitive sensor elements located within the first filter window is exceeded;

in case the first operation forgo computing a replacement value for the first position, performing a second operation by placing a second filter window about the first position and computing a replacement value for the first position from charge values within the second filter window, but forgoing computing a replacement value for the first position in case a second threshold number of defective capacitive sensor elements located within the second filter window is exceeded; wherein the second filter window has a wider expanse than the first filter window.

The image stabilization control apparatus that performs, using a shake detection signal acquired through a shake detector configured to detect a shake and a motion vector detection signal indicating a motion vector detected in a video signal produced through an image sensor, image stabilization control for reducing image blur due to the shake. The apparatus includes a predictor that produces, using the motion vector detection signal, a predicted error signal that indicates a predicted value of an error signal included in the shake detection signal, a signal producer that subtracts the predicted error signal from the shake detection signal to produce a first image stabilization signal, and a controller that performs the image stabilization control using the first image stabilization signal.

An information processing apparatus includes a plurality of human body detecting sensors that detect a user, each of the human body detecting sensors having a detection area for detecting the presence of the user; an operation part that receives an operation by the user; and an erroneous detection determination part that determines an erroneous detection if the operation part does not receive the operation by the user within a predetermined time after one of the human body detecting sensors detects the presence of the user. If a number of erroneous detections of the one of the human body detecting sensors is equal to or more than a first threshold, the erroneous detection determination part sends an instruction to reduce the detection area to the one of the human body detecting sensors and sends an instruction to increase the detection area to another one of the human body detecting sensors.

One variation of a method for tracking placement of products in a store includes: accessing an image recorded by a mobile robotic system within a store; detecting a shelf in a region of the image; based on an address of the shelf, retrieving a list of products assigned to the shelf by a planogram of the store; retrieving a set of template images—from a database of template images—defining visual features of products specified in the list of products; extracting a set of features from the region of the image; determining that a unit of the product is mis-stocked on the shelf in response to deviation between the set of features and features in a template image, in the set of template images, representing the product; and in response to determining that the unit of the product is mis-stocked on the shelf, generating a restocking prompt for the product.

A method is proposed for detecting a document in which image data are recorded by means of a camera, in which filtered picture data are determined by a first processing unit on the basis of the recorded image data, and a camera picture is stored by a second processing unit on the basis of the filtered picture data if a stability criterion is fulfilled. Also specified correspondingly are a device, computer program product and storage medium.

Implementations relate to editing images with selective editing tools. In some implementations, a computer-implemented method for an image editing program causes a display of an image and receives user input from a user to the image editing program, the user input indicative of selection of a selective editing tool. The method restores the image to a previous state in which a first modification to one or more pixel values of the image is omitted, where the first modification resulted from previous application of a first edit operation to the image. The method applies a second edit operation to one or more local areas of the image as indicated by selection of the selective editing tool by the user input, and the applying causes a second modification to the image.

A device is provided to include a display panel and an optical sensor module. The optical fingerprint sensor can detect an contact input and generate a signal indicative of an image of the fingerprint and to generate a signal indicative of a biometric marker different form the fingerprint. The generated sensor signal includes the signal indicative of the image of the fingerprint and the signal indicative of the biometric marker different from the fingerprint. The optical sensor module can capture different fingerprint patterns at different times to monitor time-domain evolution of the fingerprint ridge pattern deformation that indicates time-domain evolution of a press force from the contact input. The sensing circuitry can process the generated sensor signal to determine whether the contact input associated with the fingerprint belongs to a finger of a live person.
