Abstract: A game terminal allows a player to participate in the linked transaction including a linked deal within an initial deal via their client account interacting with a management system. The management system manages the execution of the linked transaction including execution of the initial deal, execution of the linked deal, and movement and monitoring of capital during execution of the linked transaction. Initial deal tickets are electronically allocated to player accounts by the management system. The linked deal may be a secondary deal that is lightly linked to the initial deal. In particular, the initial deal may include an access ticket to the linked deal, and the access ticket allows the management system to grant the player a play in the linked deal.

Abstract: Described herein are methods and systems for obtaining high-quality images, which may be suitable for various applications such as training and operating artificial intelligence (AI) systems. Specifically, a system may comprise multiple cameras and one or more actuators that are capable of moving these cameras relative to each other. For example, these cameras may form one or more stereo pairs, each pair having its stereo axis. The actuators can change baselines in these pairs and/or tilt these stereo axes relative to the imaged objects to address possible self-similarity issues associated with the shape of these objects and their orientation relative to the cameras. In some examples, the simultaneous images captured by these cameras are used to construct a three-dimensional (3D) model. The fidelity of this model is then used to determine the position of the cameras (as a camera unit or individually for each camera).
