Abstract: A method including: clustering a plurality of records, each record comprises at least one object image and at least one textual field associated with the object, to yield a plurality of clusters such that the object images in each cluster exhibit between them a visual similarity above a specified value; associating each cluster with a label by applying a dictionary function to the textual fields of each cluster, wherein the label reflects a common semantic factor of the textual fields of each cluster, wherein the common semantic factor has a value above a specified threshold. Accordingly, the visual similarity provides a measure of resemblances between two visual objects that can be based on at least one of: the fit between their color distribution such as correlation between their HSV color histograms, the fit between their texture, the fit between their shapes, the correlation between this edge histograms and face similarity.

Abstract: A method of handling multimedia data in which packets of a multimedia file from a first computer are received by a second computer. In case, a sub-portion of the multimedia file, representative of the multimedia file, was received by the second computer, before the entire file was received by the second computer, that sub portion is handled by the second computer transmitting to the first computer, although the entire file was not received by the second computer at the time of the transmission of the result. Additionally, an image processing server is described comprising: a network interface adapted to receive packets, a communication manager adapted to manage reception of multimedia files through the input interface and to conclude when a sub-portion of a multimedia file, representative of the multimedia file received, and an image handling unit configured to handle said sub-portions.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a headlight control subsystem optimizes headlamps associated with a vehicle. In operation, the headlight control subsystem receives image data and performs image detection operations that identify one or more objects included in the image. The headlight control subsystem then performs lighting calculations that determine characteristics of vehicle headlights that optimally illuminates the identified objects. Subsequently, the headlight control subsystem configures the headlamps to emit the vehicle headlights, thereby illuminating the object. Notably, in low light conditions, because the headlight control system expands the effective view of the driver through the windshield, the headlight control system increases the ability of the driver to comprehend environmental hazards and perform corrective action.

The device has a reproduction capturing device and data connectivity.

Abstract: A method of handling multimedia data, is described, in which packets of a multimedia file from a first computer are received by a second computer. In case, a sub-portion of the multimedia file, representative of the multimedia file, was received by the second computer, before the entire file was received by the second computer, that sub portion is handled by the second computer transmitting to the first computer or to a third computer a result of the handling of the sub-portion, although the entire file was not received by the second computer at the time of the transmission of the result. Additionally, an image processing server is described comprising: a network interface adapted to receive packets, a communication manager adapted to manage reception of multimedia files through the input interface and to conclude when a sub-portion of a multimedia file, representative of the multimedia file received, and an image handling unit configured to handle said sub-portions.

Abstract: A computer implemented method of presenting visual content items, comprising: grouping the visual content items according to predefined similarity rules relating to visual characteristics of the visual content items such that each group has a range for the number of its members; selecting a representative visual content item for each group; presenting the representative visual content item of each group that has a minimal number of members above a predefined threshold; and optionally presenting the visual content items alongside the representative visual content items. The grouping may be carried out by using predefined color groups; by using predefined shape groups; or using Keypoints of the visual content items, and relate to groups of human faces, product images and landscape images.

Abstract: A system and method for analyzing and wirelessly transmitting information in real-time, comprising capturing snapshots and videos, by utilizing for example a smartphone. The images are analyzed in conjunction with other system data to provide the user: 3 dimensional images, GPS coordinates, safety alerts, etc. In particular, the system is mountable within a vehicle interior to provide: road conditions, dangerous driving situations, the make/model/manufacturer of surrounding cars, GPS coordinates, and the identity of local businesses. The user may also share the information via wireless transmissions with surrounding users possessing the same system, such as for real-time video gaming systems. And the system may also be detached from the vehicle for use in other scenarios, such as searching a merchant database for matching items and wirelessly sending the information to other system users.
