TL;DR: In this paper, an object-oriented memory management framework is presented for a foreign pointer class (14, 400) and a foreign object class (12) each having a plurality of encapsulated methods and variables for memory management.
Abstract: An object-oriented memory management framework (10) and method therefor provide for a foreign pointer class (14, 400) and a foreign object class (12) each having a plurality of encapsulated methods and variables for memory management. The foreign pointer class (14) provides one or more instances of active, passive, and restrictive foreign pointers (274, 284, 292). The framework (10) further includes a foreign object class (12) for providing one or more instances of foreign objects (16), where each foreign object (16) encapsulated an active list variable (32), a passive list variable (36), and a restrictive list variable (34) for recording therein any foreign pointer pointing thereto.

TL;DR: In this paper, a foreign object assessment device for improving the accuracy of fingerprint authentication is presented, which is provided with an image acquisition unit (31) for acquiring an image in which an object to be authenticated to be an object for fingerprint authentication has been captured; a region partitioning unit (33) for partitioning an image acquired by the image acquiring unit into regions differing in color from one another using predetermined assessment criteria when assessing differences in the color.
Abstract: Disclosed is a foreign object assessment device for improving accuracy of fingerprint authentication. The disclosed foreign object assessment device is provided with an image acquisition unit (31) for acquiring an image in which an object to be authenticated to be an object of fingerprint authentication has been captured; a region partitioning unit (33) for partitioning an image acquired by the image acquisition unit (31) into regions differing in color from one another using predetermined assessment criteria when assessing differences in the color; and a foreign object assessment unit (34) for assessing whether or not a foreign object is included in the object to be authenticated using colors and/or areas of the regions partitioned by the region partitioning unit (33).
