A method for detecting forgery in facial recognition is disclosed that comprises selecting () an illumination pattern including at least three illumination intensities; controlling () a light-emitting device () to emit light pulses, according to the illumination pattern; capturing () with a camera () a respective image of an eye region () of a face () during each emitted light pulse; determining () whether a glint () is present in the eye region () of each captured image; measuring () a glint intensity of each determined glint (); extracting () a respective numerical feature for each captured image, the numerical feature representing a curve of all measured glint intensities at the glint intensity of the respective image; and outputting () a signal that the face () is forged, if one or more of the extracted numerical features does not correspond to a reference numerical feature. Furthermore, a computer-readable medium storing instructions to perform the method, and a vehicle () comprising a processor () capable of performing such method.

A method for embedding information in a video signal is described. The method comprises receiving () a message () including the information; dividing () the message () in a first message part () and a second message part (); acquiring () a first video frame () and a second video frame () from the video signal, wherein the second video frame () is temporally subsequent to the first video frame (), and the video frames () each include a pre-set number of pixels; and determining () a motion map () associated with the second video frame (), wherein the motion map () indicates a movement of each of the pixels of in the second video frame () compared to the first video frame (). The method further comprises embedding () the first message part () in the pixels of the second video frame () including weighting the first message part () for each pixel of the second video frame () based on the motion map (); and embedding () the second message part () in the pixels of the second video frame () including weighting the second message part () for each pixel of the second video frame () based on an inverse of the motion map (). Furthermore, a graphical encoder () and a system () are described, which are configured to perform such method.

A method for identifying occupant-specific settings for a vehicle comprises detecting a vehicle occupant; collecting biometric occupant data of the detected vehicle occupant; assembling a descriptor based on at least part of the collected occupant data; storing the descriptor in a database; and updating a cluster of descriptors in the database based on the assembled descriptor, wherein descriptors grouped in the cluster are close to each other, and wherein the cluster corresponds to the detected vehicle occupant. Based on the cluster and assembled descriptor can be assigned to the cluster, and vehicle setting data can be calculated that has been stored in association with the cluster. The vehicle setting data corresponds to occupant-specific settings for the vehicle. A vehicle comprises a system capable of performing such method.

A method for displaying a pointer in an instrument panel is described. The method comprises retrieving a current instrument status of an instrument of the instrument panel that is to be displayed, determining a pointer form on the basis of the current instrument status, retrieving of the determined pointer form from a texture atlas, and rendering the pointer in the instrument panel with the retrieved pointer form. There is further described a device for displaying an instrument panel, which device comprises a display module configured to display at least one instrument panel having at least one pointer instrument, and a controller configured to carry out the method using the display module. A vehicle having such a device is also disclosed.
