The invention is a new method and apparatus that can be used to detect, recognize, and analyze people or other objects in security checkpoints, public-places, parking lots, or in similar environments under surveillance to detect the presence of certain objects of interests (e.g., people), and to identify their activities for security and other purposes in real-time. The system can detect a wide range of activities for different applications. The method detects any new object introduced into a known environment and then classifies the object regions to human body parts or to other non-rigid and rigid objects. By comparing the detected objects with the graphs from a database in the system, the methodology is able to identify object parts and to decide on the presence of the object of interest (human, bag, dog, etc.) in video sequences. The system tracks the movement of different object parts in order to combine them at a later stage to high-level semantics. For example, the motion pattern of each human body part is compared to the motion pattern of the known activities. The recognized movements of the body parts are combined by a classifier to recognize the overall activity of the human body.

A method and system generates and compares fingerprints for videos in a video library. The video fingerprints provide a compact representation of the temporal locations of discontinuities in the video that can be used to quickly and efficiently identify video content. Discontinuities can be, for example, shot boundaries in the video frame sequence or silent points in the audio stream. Because the fingerprints are based on structural discontinuity characteristics rather than exact bit sequences, visual content of videos can be effectively compared even when there are small differences between the videos in compression factors, source resolutions, start and stop times, frame rates, and so on. Comparison of video fingerprints can be used, for example, to search for and remove copyright protected videos from a video library. Furthermore, duplicate videos can be detected and discarded in order to preserve storage space.

A sleep evaluation device 1 is provided with a respiration detection unit 7 that detects changes in respiration and outputs respiration signals. CPU 6 generates six primary parameters indicating sleep states based on the respiration signals and four secondary parameters based on the primary parameters. The secondary parameters are linearly independent of one another. Evaluation unit 20 computes a sleep score indicating the degree of the quality of sleep by multiplying each of the four secondary parameters by second coefficients and totalizing results of the multiplications. Results of the evaluations are displayed on display unit 4.

A cutting insert intended exemplarily for use in a face-milling cutter, has an all-around extending rake surface which changes into a plateau surface by an uninterrupted step. The step reaches its greatest height in the corner regions of the cutting insert. The rake surface defines a positive rake angle. The step prevents the produced chips from running onto the plateau surface. As a result of such a measure, a smear-on of material onto the plateau surface from a chip is prevented.

An abdomen width determiner determines an abdomen width value of a human subject. A memory stores a correlation between abdomen width values and waist circumferences of human beings. A waist circumference calculator calculates a waist circumference of the human subject on the basis of the abdomen width value determined by the abdomen width determiner and the correlation stored in the memory. The correlation stored in the memory may be expressed by the following regression formula: Y=aX+b where “Y” is a waist circumference of a human being, “X” is an abdomen width value of a human being, and “a” and “b” are constants.
