Abstract: A method of capturing and providing, with a mobile device, images of retail products for analysis by a remote image analysis engine applying one or more machine learning models, may include, at a mobile device comprising a processor, a memory, a display, and an integrated camera, prompting a user to capture an image of an array of physical items, capturing the image with the integrated camera, and sending the captured image to a remote server. The method may further include receiving an image annotation data set defining an array of segments, each segment corresponding to a physical item in the array of physical items and having an associated product information, a given associated product information determined using a trained product model that identifies a product identifier based on a portion of the image that corresponds to a given segment of the image.

Abstract: Some aspects of the invention relate to a mobile apparatus including an image sensor configured to convert an optical image into an electrical signal. The optical image includes an image of a vehicle license plate. The mobile apparatus includes a license plate detector configured to process the electrical signal to recover information from the vehicle license plate image.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for automatically identifying a vehicle and facilitating a transaction related to the vehicle. The system includes a first mobile apparatus with an image sensor that captures an optical image of a vehicle license plate and convert the optical image into an electrical signal, a license plate detector that identifies the vehicle license plate information, and an interface that transmits the vehicle license plate information. The system further includes a remote server that automatically identifies vehicle configuration information based on the vehicle license plate information, automatically transmits the vehicle configuration information to the first mobile device, and automatically provide for access vehicle sales information in response to a posting request from the first mobile apparatus. Moreover, a second mobile apparatus displays the vehicle sales information and automatically initiates the transaction related to the vehicle in response to a user input.
