Abstract: Described is a system for automatic digital photo orientation detection. We leverage online public photos with great content variation to extract effective features with layout information. Classification proceeds using an approximate nearest neighbors approach which scales well to massive training sets, hardly compromising efficiency. We have tested the method successfully on the largest data set to date of nearly 30,000 Flickr photos as well as both difficult and typical consumer usage scenarios. Though limited data are available for comparison across different systems, the proposed system significantly outperforms a state of the art system on a common data set.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, apparatus, system, article of manufacture, and computer readable storage medium provide the ability to stream media content to multiple users. A first stream of/for the media content is streamed from a first location in the media content to a first user. A request is received from the first user to seek to a seek location (e.g., forward or backward) in the media content. A second location in the media content compatible with the seek location is determined. The second location is based on a second stream being streamed to one or more second users. The second stream is then streamed to the first user and the second user.

As environmental variables may change, signals from the main imaging machine from different locations around the imaging suite are transmitted and received. In determining which of a plurality of locations is best for receiving, a main machine antenna system (26) transmits training request packets from various locations. A wireless transceiver (24) located on a local probe device (22) responds to each training request packet that it receives. By evaluating the responses, the imager can determine which antenna locations are best. A sleep mode and a double-check mechanism are included to improve power consumption, performance, and communication reliability.
