Abstract: A system remotely determines living objects and their heartbeat rate or breath rate. The system has a laser source, a diffractive optics, a defocusing lens, a laser CCD, and a vibrations analyzer. The laser source is used for emitting a laser beam. The diffractive optics is used for dividing said laser beam to a grid of plurality of laser beams in which the living object is located. The defocusing lens is used for receiving pluralities of laser beams as reflected from objects within the area of interest, and for defocusing said reflected beams, thereby to produce defocused speckles on the laser CCD.

Abstract: A method for identifying a stream of images, comprises: a) capturing one or more frames from the media which is to be identified; b) sending the selected image(s) as queries to a server; c) in the server, analyzing the one or more images to identify them from a database that for each movie stored comprises switched significantly different frames; d) if more than one image is processed, aggregating the various server's replies; and e) displaying the results to the user.
