Abstract: An apparatus is provided to generate a three-dimensional representation of a pose. The apparatus includes a communications interface to receive raw data from an external source. The raw data includes a representation of an object. In addition, the apparatus includes a memory storage unit to store the raw data. Furthermore, the apparatus includes a pre-processing engine to identify a plurality of visible keypoints from the raw data. The apparatus also includes a keypoint analysis engine to identify a connector between a first visible keypoint from the plurality of visible keypoints and a second visible keypoint from the plurality of visible keypoints. The apparatus further includes a pose estimation engine to generate a vector to represent the connector. The vector has a normalized magnitude.

Abstract: Introduced here are computer-implemented platforms (also referred to as “pose monitoring platforms”) that are designed to improve adherence to, and success of, programs requiring performance of physical activities. As part of a program, a participant may be requested to engage with a pose monitoring platform to perform a single physical activity, multiple repetitions of a single physical activity, or multiple repetitions of multiple physical activities. The pose monitoring platform can determine, for example, using a neural network that has parallel branches, whether digital images of the participant's environment includes certain body parts and then estimate poses of those body parts. The pose monitoring platform can use the estimated poses to guide the participant through the program, such as by providing instructions for performing the physical activities.

Abstract: A method, system and device are provided that collect and provide information related to goods at retail sales locations. The goods may be or include consumer products, commodities, equipment, food, food products, agricultural supplies and agricultural products. A good may be associated with an identifier represented by a bar code or a quick response code, or recorded within an RFID chip and/or a radio frequency or photonic communications device. An observer may transmit the perceived or received identifier to a remote database server and optionally receive a credit for the transmission of this information to the database server. The observer may optionally use a cellular telephone or portable communications device to transmit the identifier, digitized photographic data, GPS data, other geolocational data, time-date stamps, textual data, and/or audio data.

Abstract: A mobile communications device is adapted to receive user input for association with a defined geographic area or location. The user inputs an attestation of his or her location and the mobile device compares the user-attested location with a geolocational data derived from external transmitters, such satellites as the Global Positioning System (“GPS”). The geolocational data is compared with user attested location and additional optional steps include (a.) alerting one or more other devices when the user attested location is not confirmed by the geolocational data; (b.) the device may inhibit further input of data for association with the user attested location; and/or (c.) the device may accept additional user input without notifying the user of the apparent discrepancy between the user attested location and the geolocational data.

Abstract: Methods, systems and devices for enabling the geolocational monitoring, tracking and management of an agricultural workflow are provided. A first version of the method includes establishing a serial number for shipping containers which corresponds to a software database record that is readily editable. The invented method avoids the need for correcting errors on detailed physical labels placed on produce shipping containers, thereby increasing overall efficiency of sending fresh produce to the stream of commerce. Increasing the speed at which said produce enters the marketplace allows growers to realize more of the value of each crop.
