The viola (/viˈoʊlə/ vee-OH-lə, also UK: /vaɪˈoʊlə/ vy-OH-lə, Italian: [ˈvjɔːla, viˈɔːla]) is a string instrument that is bowed or played with varying techniques. It is slightly larger than a violin and has a lower and deeper sound. Since the 18th century, it has been the middle or alto voice of the violin family, between the violin (which is tuned a perfect fifth above) and the cello (which is tuned an octave below). The strings from low to high are typically tuned to C₃, G₃, D₄, and A₄.

Digital camera and method

Redeye removal methods detect redeyes in a two-step procedure. In the first step it detects faces in the input image and in the second step it searches for redeyes in the detected faces. The methods include the introduction of an efficient skin tone detector that reduces the average complexity of a Viola-Jones based face. We also introduce a summed area table (SAT) based optimization in our eye detector stage that reduces the complexity in the eye detector by a factor of 5× when compared to an optimized direct search method.

The invention discloses a method and a device for creating a sample library for large-scale face mode analysis. The method comprises the following steps: obtaining pictures in batches through a network; performing face detection and screening on the obtained pictures by adopting a Viola-Jones face detection algorithm; performing normalization processing on the pictures with faces based on a face ratio; performing gender classification on cut pictures by adopting PCA (principal component analysis) and LDA (linear discriminant analysis) algorithms; comparing similarity of grey histograms of the pictures to remove repeated pictures; performing secondary screening and artificial marking on the face sample library as needed and storing the face sample library into a local memory. The device comprises a network communication interface, display equipment, input equipment, a memory and a processor, wherein the processor is used for executing the method for creating the sample library for large-scale face mode analysis. The method and the device reduce the labor intensity of scientific research personnel during creation of the face sample library used for face mode analysis to a relatively great extent, increase the creation speed of the sample library, and also can be used for creating sample libraries for related scientific research of other mode identification.

ATM terminal human face key points partially shielding detection method based on random forest

The invention discloses an ATM terminal human face key points partially shielding detection method based on a random forest comprises the following steps: acquiring an image when a bank card is inserted into an ATM, improving the gray image contrast degree through a multi-scale Retinex enhancing method, positioning a human face through adoption of a Haarcascade human face detection algorithm, speculating a human face gesture based on a gesture estimation tree model of the random forest, judging a human face shielding type through a Viola Jones frame, and, according to the estimated human face gesture, selecting a random forest key point detection model and calibrating a human face key point of a position which is not shielded. An influence of the gesture on human face key point detection is reduced through gesture pre-estimation based on the random forest, an influence of shielding on a human face characteristic is reduced through automatic recognition of a shielding portion and key point marking of a non-shielding portion, a high-precision human face local characteristic can be provided for ATM-based identity recognition of a shielded human face, and human face identity recognition precision is improved.

Intonation aid and position locator for violin family of instruments

A teaching aid for instructing proper finger position on a “fret-less” stringed instrument (for example, violin, viola, cello, bass) comprises a template that is positioned along the fingerboard at the proper finger position location (i.e., “first position”) for the first four half-steps associated with each string. A set of raised, “Braille-like” features is formed as a grid pattern on the surface of the template, with each row of features associated with each tone half step. Each “row” contains a set of three raised features—a separate feature located between an adjacent pair of strings. Once the template is properly positioned, the raised features are pressed out of the template and transferred to adhere to the fingerboard. By locating the raised features between the strings, the teaching aid does not interfere with sound quality or the ability to induce vibrato to the playing, while still providing a tactile clue for the proper note location for intonation purposes. Once the student has mastered proper finger placement, the raised features may be removed.
