In various implementations, a computing device is configured to provide a live preview of salient contours generated on a live digital video feed. In particular, a designer can use a computing device with a camera, such as a smart phone, to view a real-time preview of salient contours generated from edges detected in frames of a live digital video feed prior to capture, thereby eliminating the unpredictability of salient contours generated from a previously captured image. In some implementations, the salient contours are overlaid on a greyscale conversion of the live digital video feed for improved processing and visual contrast. Other implementations modify aspects of edge-detecting or post-processing filters for improved performance on mobile computing devices.

The invention relates to a method performed by a fingerprint sensing system of determining if a finger contacts a fingerprint sensor of the system, and a fingerprint sensing system performing method. In a first aspect of the invention, a method performed by a fingerprint sensing system is provided for determining if a finger contacts a fingerprint sensor of the fingerprint sensing system. The method comprises capturing an image of an object contacting the fingerprint sensor, determining an intensity for a plurality of pixels of the captured image, estimating local curvatures of pixel intensity variation in the captured image, and determining from the estimated local curvatures if local pixel intensity variation is dominated by a single direction, in which case the object on the sensor is considered to constitute a finger.

A method, a system, and a computer-readable recording medium for image-based object tracking are provided. The method includes following steps. A video stream including a plurality of images is received. The video stream is generated through photographing an enclosed space by an image capturing device, and a moving range of a plurality of observed objects is limited to the enclosed space. A plurality of moving objects are detected from the video stream, and frames associated with each of the moving objects are generated for the images. The images include a current image and a previous image. By analyzing position projecting relationship between current frames in the current image and previous frames in the previous image, linking relationship between the current frames in the current image and the observed objects is established. The observed objects in the enclosed space are tracked according to the established linking relationship.

Visibility of a license plate and color reproducibility of a vehicle body are improved in a monitoring camera.

A vehicle body area detection unit detects a vehicle body area of a vehicle from an image signal. A license plate area detection unit detects a license plate area of the vehicle from the image signal. A vehicle body area image processing unit performs processing of the image signal corresponding to the detected vehicle body area. A license plate area image processing unit performs processing different from the processing of the image signal corresponding to the vehicle body area on the image signal corresponding to the detected license plate area. A synthesis unit synthesizes the processed image signal corresponding to the vehicle body area and the processed image signal corresponding to the license plate area.

[Object] To enhance a reading accuracy of a code even when a light amount, which can be received by an imaging element, varies greatly. [Means to solve the problems] A plurality of second images in response to a plurality of different conversion characteristics is generated by using the first image obtained at the time of setting of an optical information reading device. The results, in which codes included in the generated second images are respectively decoded by a decoding part, are analyzed, and one of the conversion characteristics is selected. The second image in response to the selected conversion characteristic is generated by using the first image at the time of operation of the optical information reading device.

An image recognition device, an image recognition method, and an image recognition unit which can achieve touch recognition with high accuracy. An image recognition device includes an image processing unit which carries out touch recognition, based on an image acquired by an image capturing device, the image capturing device being arranged in a second orthant or a third orthant, and based on a distance between a missing part generated on an image display surface due to light from a detection image display device being blocked by an object when the object is situated between the detection image display device and the image display surface, and the detection image situated on an epipolar line decided based on a positional relation between the image capturing device and the detection image display device and passing through the missing part, and displayed on the object.

The present invention addresses the problem of providing a technique for determining the authenticity of a product without requiring a special device such as an integrated circuit (IC) tag. A means for solving this problem according to the invention is characterized by determining the authenticity of a target product on the basis of the validity of the association between the body of the product and a surface-treated component that is mounted to the body and that has been validated.

One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates identity verification based on various features of a card. During operation, a server receives a request for identity verification, where the request corresponds to an account and includes an image of a verifiable card. The server extracts a card feature from the verifiable card image for use as a verifiable card feature. In response to determining that the verifiable card feature matches a corresponding card feature of a registered card of the account, the server determines successful identity verification.
