Patent EP-1288844-A3 (EP)
Inventor: TSUKAMOTO UHEI
IPC: G06V40/13
Filed: 2001-12-26
Abstract: The invention offers a technique for personal identification which reduces the amount of computation required to match fingerprints, thereby shortening the processing time, while simultaneously improving the precision of the match. A press-type fingerprint sampler 1reads a 1 cm 2  area in the central portion of a fingerprint which has been pressed flat, and supplies fingerprint information representing a two-dimensional image of the fingerprint to a fingerprint match processing device 2. At the fingerprint match processing device 2, a minutiae extracting portion 21b extracts eight types of minutiae (starting points, end points, bifurcation points, juncture points, dots, short lines, islands and scars) from the fingerprint information and writes these into the memory portion 22 to register the fingerprint. When matching the fingerprints, the fingerprints are similarly sampled by the press-type fingerprint sampler 1 to extract the minutiae, which are then supplied to a match computing portion 21c. Additionally, a control computation processing portion 21a reads the minutiae of the registered fingerprint and supplies them to a match computing portion 21c. As a result, the match computing portion 21c compares the minutiae of the sampled fingerprint and the minutiae of the registered fingerprint to determine whether or not they are the same.

Abstract: Accuracy and speed of biometric identity verification are significantly
improved by use of multiple simultaneous scans of biometric features of a user,
such as multiple fingerprints, using multiple scanners (40, 50) of smaller size than
would be needed to accommodate all of the fingerprints in a single scanner (30),
and using multiple parallel processors (42, 52), or a single higher speed processor,
to process the fingerprint data more efficiently. Obtaining biometric data from
multiple user features by use of multiple scanners increases verification accuracy,
but without the higher cost and slower processing speed that would be incurred if a
single large scanner were to be used for improved accuracy.

Abstract: A method generates an adaptively sampled distance field of an object by first
defining a candidate cell of the adaptively sampled distance field. Then, distance
values for the candidate cell are determined and stored in a bounded distance tree.
The candidate cell is recursively subdividing into subdivided cells of the adaptively
sampled distance field while determining and storing corresponding distance
values of the subdivided cells in the bounded distance tree until a termination
condition is reached. Lastly, the distance values are appended to the corresponding
cells to generate the adaptively sampled distance field of the object.

Abstract: In an engine employing a variable lift and working angle control mechanism enabling both a valve lift and a working angle of an intake valve to be continuously simultaneously varied depending on engine operating conditions, the control mechanism includes at least a rocker arm and a control shaft (12) formed integral with an eccentric cam. The valve lift characteristic of the control mechanism varies by changing an angular position of the control shaft. A control-shaft position sensor (14) has a directivity for the sensor output error occurring owing to a change in relative position between the control shaft center and the position sensor. The error becomes a minimum value in a specified direction of relative position change. The specified direction of relative position change is set to be substantially identical to a direction of a line of action of load acting on the center of the control shaft (12) during idling.
