  • Patent number: 9697465
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques (300, 500, 600) and apparatuses (102, 700) for drawing an inference using multiple sensors. These techniques and apparatuses enable a computing device to choose (302) a set of sensors that are capable of providing information for an inference, invoke (304) the chosen set of sensors to provide the information, receive (306) the information from at least a subset of the chosen sensors, and draw (308), based on the received information, the inference. In some cases, the set of sensors are chosen such that time or resources of the computing device can be conserved.

  • Publication number: 20170109912
    Abstract: A method, a system, and computer program product for creating a composite image from multi-frame raw image data. The method includes extracting each individual frame from a plurality of frames within raw image data and determining a sharpness score for a region of each individual frame. A particular frame that has a sharpest region from among the plurality of frames is then selected as a reference frame. Each pixel in the reference frame is then registered to a plurality of corresponding pixels from non-reference frames of the plurality of frames. Equivalent pixels from the reference frame and each non-reference frame are then summed to create a composite image.

  • Publication number: 20130005352
    Abstract: Methods are provided for verifying whether a mobile device is at a site. An exemplary method involves obtaining a location of the mobile device from the mobile device and obtaining a captured value for a machine-readable code from one of the mobile device and the site, the machine-readable code being presented by the other of the mobile device and the site. When the captured value is equal to a reference value for the code, the mobile device is verified as being at the site when the location of the mobile device corresponds to a location associated with the site.
