An automated face recognition apparatus and method employing a programmed computer that computes a fixed dimensional numerical signature from either a single face image or a set/track of face images of a human subject. The numerical signature may be compared to a similar numerical signature derived from another image to acertain the identity of the person depicted in the compared images. The numerical signature is invariant to visual variations induced by pose, illumination, and face expression changes, which can subsequently be used for face verification, identification, and detection, using real-world photos and videos. The face recognition system utilizes a probabilistic elastic part model, and achieves accuracy on several real-world face recognition benchmark datasets.

Any issues associated with manufacture of a part are identified and highlighted on a part rendering. A software method and system then uses a visual change cue on the part rendering for communicating the manufacturability issues to the customer. The preferred visual change cue is a throbbing of the highlighting of the manufacturability issue, with the throbbing occurring in both color intensity and size. The part rendering depicts the part translucently, so throbbing manufacturability issues can be readily identified even if obscured behind a more-forward face of the part.

Various methods and systems are provided for inserting a user-selected pattern below a main application display when sensitive information is being requested or to be communicated. The border of the main application layer may also be modified at this time, either with or without the underlying pattern. This visual change provides the user an assurance that the application or site is authentic and not a phishing attack. The user-selected patterns are stored in secure areas, such as a secure element on the user device or in a cloud accessible by the application or site.

A tamper evident closure (1) includes a housing (5) containing a blister pack (2) and a substrate (3), wherein the blister pack (2) contains a first reagent which is visible prior to first opening and the substrate (3) contains a second reagent. First opening of the closure ruptures the blister pack thereby exposing the first reagent to the second reagent and effecting a reaction that causes a visual change that signals the closure has been opened. The tamper evident closure of the present invention is primarily intended to be used as an anti-counterfeit measure on a spirit or pharmaceutical bottle. In the preferred embodiment, the closure incorporates a liquid that when brought into contact with a reagent chemical contained in an absorbent pad, effects an irreversible color change. This color change will indicate to a consumer the bottle has been previously opened or tampered with. The design makes it very difficult for a counterfeiter to cover up or eradicate the visible effects. In particular, the only way a counterfeiter could do this would be to put in a replacement blister and an absorbent pad. Filling a blister pack with a liquid is a highly specialist task which makes replication very difficult. The ability to control the color change to complement the branded goods provides a way of building up consumer recognition of the product and thereby establishing confidence in those products that carry the tamper evident closure of the present invention.

An exemplary method for surfacing feature changes occurring over time at a location is provided. The method includes identifying sets of images captured at a location over a period of time. The sets of images depict objects at the location. Visual changes at the location over the period of time are determined for a given physical feature of the objects depicted in images from the sets of images based on at least a comparison of features in corresponding areas of a first and a second 3D geometry of the location associated with the images. The first and second 3D geometries depict physical features of objects at the location at different times. The sets of images may be ranked based on the determined visual changes for each set. A given set of images from the sets of images may be selected for display on a user interface based on the ranking.
