Honda is "CES 2017" held in Las Vegas, January 5,
Whether the rider is on or not riding, it stands independent,
Honda Riding Assist, a two-wheeled vehicle, was released to the world for the first time.
Honda Riding Assist applied Honda's unique balance control technology cultivated in humanoid robot research represented by ASIMO to two wheeled vehicles.
Even if the rider loses a little balance, the motorcycle itself keeps balance, so that it reduces the risk of falling over at the time of low-speed running or at the time of stoppage and handling.
On the other hand, during normal driving, it realizes the same maneuverability as existing two-wheeled vehicles.
Hitachi, Ltd. is 24 days, Using a smart phone built-in camera, do the finger vein authentication, it has announced that it has developed the technology. Online shopping that can be used as authentication means, such as in.
The time has been developed utilizes a camera that is standard on smart phones, performing identity verification by a finger vein authentication technique.
In the finger vein authentication, pattern indicating the characteristics of a living body is in the body, for forgery and impersonation compared with other biometric authentication method is difficult, there is an advantage that can be safely authentication.
However, to read the hard finger vein pattern invisible to the naked eye, the past that it was necessary dedicated sensor using infrared rays.
This time, Hitachi, from a color image of a plurality of fingers taken with your phone camera, by emphasizing the portion of the distinctive color tones by utilizing the color information of the finger vein of the finger, an image processing technique for extracting a vein pattern developed.
As a result, likely to change in the wrinkles of the skin surface information and enables distinction, it was able to extract a stable finger vein pattern.
In addition, it occurs when holding the finger on the camera, a technique for correcting a shift of posture of the fingers were also developed. Be to learn the color and shape of an example image of the finger, without being influenced by the background reflected on the image, extracting only the finger region can correct the inclination and the size of each finger to detect the position and orientation of the finger . Thus, that has increased flexibility of holding the hand fingers.
In the experiment, to match the ten finger total of 1 thousand times, all that could be confirmed himself.
Further, by using a vein pattern of a plurality of fingers for authentication, it increases the correctly determining probability their identity, that of a realizes a high accuracy of authentication.
Net mail order such as by smartphone, from the fact that it is possible to easily high-precision authentication, hopes to commercialize within one to two years.
