An object recognition apparatus is disclosed. The present apparatus includes a storage unit for obtaining an initial image of a preset object and storing the initial image as a reference image; and a control unit for obtaining a first additional image of the preset object, determining whether the size of the first additional image relative to the initial image meets a first preset condition and additionally storing the first additional image as a reference image if the first additional image meets the preset condition.

Object recognition apparatus and control method therefor

An image processing apparatus includes: a user input interface configured to provide a user input according to at least one input method; a storage configured to store a database for biometric information of at least one user which corresponds with at least one identification (IDs) previously registered to the image processing apparatus; a signal processor configured to process a preset service which is provided corresponding to an authenticated identification (ID) in response to a user being authenticated with the ID; and a controller configured to determine whether authentication is performed with regard to one of the IDs in response to an event occurring which identifies a current user, and retrieve and authenticate the ID from the database based on the biometric information of the current user acquired by the user input interface in response to determining that the authentication is not performed with regard to the ID.

Image processing apparatus and control method thereof

A display apparatus includes: a display; a data processor configured to process content data to be displayed as a content image on the display; a user input interface configured to receive biometric information about a user; a communication interface configured to communicate with an external apparatus; and a controller configured to identify the user based on the biometric information received through the user input interface, and control, if it is determined that the identified user is also a user of an external apparatus, the content data to be displayed as the content image on one of the display apparatus and the external apparatus in which a user interest is relatively high.

Display apparatus and control method thereof

An image processing apparatus is provided, including a user input interface to input biometric information of at least one user, a processor to process image data to be displayed as an image and to provide a preset service to authenticate a personal identification (ID) and the group ID of a user group including users corresponding to personal IDs, and a controller to specify a personal ID corresponding to biometric information of an input through the user input interface, and to select and authenticate the group ID corresponding to specified personal IDs from the storage when multiple personal IDs are specified. The controller derives interest of the multiple users corresponding to the respective specified personal IDs in the image and selects the group ID corresponding to a personal ID of a user determined to have a high interest.

A method of certifying a user is provided. The method includes: generating a learning system; if a reference image is registered, analyzing the reference image by using the learning system to detect characteristic information; storing the detected characteristic information; photographing a user to acquire a user image; analyzing the user image by using the learning system to detect face characteristic information and additional information of the user; and comparing the face characteristic information and the additional information with stored characteristic information to certify the user. Therefore, a user certification is accurately performed.

Display apparatus for performing user certification and method thereof

A pose classification apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a first image analyzer and a second image analyzer configured to estimate a body part for each pixel of an input image including a human body, a body part decider configured to calculate reliabilities of analysis results of the first image analyzer and the second image analyzer, and configured to decide the body part for each pixel of the input image based on the calculated reliabilities, and a pose estimator configured to estimate a pose of the human body included in the input image, based on the decided body part for each pixel.

Pose classification apparatus and method

A display apparatus and control method are provided. The display apparatus includes a storage unit which is provided to store biometric information of an individual user and metadata corresponding to the biometric information; a biometric information input unit through which biometric information of a plurality of users is input; a display unit; and a controller which determines metadata corresponding to a first user by comparing the input biometric information of the first user with the stored biometric information, determines metadata corresponding to a second user by comparing the input biometric information of the second user with the stored biometric information, and generates information of a user group comprising the first and second users based on common metadata between the metadata of the first user and the metadata of the second user.

A 3D interface apparatus which is operated based on motion and an interfacing method using the same are provided. The interface apparatus includes a motion sensor, a controller which determines a wind property, and a wind generation module which generates a wind. Accordingly, a user is allowed to manipulate a GUI more easily, conveniently, and intuitively.
