Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for providing an indication about a distance between a retail unit and an electronic device, comprising: acquiring from an image sensor in a retail establishment, at least one image of a product on a store shelf; accessing in a memory that stores a plurality of templates associated with a plurality of differing products, a template associated with the product on the store shelf in the at least one acquired image; comparing at least one dimension associated with the product in the at least one acquired image with at least one dimension associated with the accessed template; based on the comparison, determining whether a distance between the image sensor and the product on the store shelf is within an acceptable range for additional image processing; and providing a notification to a user of the electronic device to adjust the distance between the image sensor and the product on the shelf when the product is outside of the acceptable range.

Abstract: A personal wearable computing device and a method for cognitive training of a trainee is provided. The device comprising a CPU, a storage unit, input devices configured to take photos and video streams, to receive cognitive training input from a remote trainer and to receive commands and responses from said trainee and output devices configured to present tasks and instructions to said trainee and to send visual and auditory and the trainee's performance representation of the vicinity of said trainee to said trainer. The method comprising providing cognitive training data and instructions to a personal wearable computing device, receiving response and performance data from said at least one trainee and storing and processing said performance data and providing updated cognitive training instructions, in response to said received response and performance data.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an image processing method comprising: receiving a stream of overlapping images; obtaining a corresponding stream of floating panoramic images by computing in real time, for each received overlapping image, an associated floating panoramic image using said overlapping image and a floating panoramic image associated with an overlapping image received prior to said overlapping image; displaying in real time with a predetermined scaling factor the stream of floating panoramic images in a preview window of a display unit, wherein the displaying comprises shifting the floating panoramic images relative to the preview window when the floating panoramic images scaled according to the predetermined scaling factor extend beyond the preview window so that at least a working portion of the overlapping image associated with the floating panoramic image being displayed is visible in the preview window.

Abstract: An electronic device and a corresponding method are presented. The device comprises: an imager unit having a certain field of view and configured to collect image data, an orientation detection unit configured to provide orientation data of the imager unit with respect to a predetermined plane, a processing unit, and a display unit. The processing unit is configured and operable for: receiving orientation data collected by the orientation detection unit; accessing pre-stored reference orientation data and analyzing said received orientation data with respect to said reference orientation data to determine orientation variation data of the imaging unit; and transmitting data indicative of said orientation variation data to the display unit to thereby initiate displaying of a predetermined geometrical shape indicative of said orientation variation.
