Abstract: A managed network supporting backscattering communication devices may be provided. A computing device may determine a plurality of locations respectively associated with a plurality of devices in a preterminal space. At least one of the plurality of devices may be power with energy transmitted from at least one Access Point (AP) to the least one of the plurality of devices at its location. Data may be received from the at least one of the plurality of devices in response to powering the at least one of the plurality of devices.

Abstract: A computerized method for annotating at least one feature of an image of a view, includes the steps of obtaining the image with an image sensor of a portable device, and retrieving at least one condition. Based on the at least one condition, the method automatically selects a feature identification method among a plurality of features identification methods. It then applies the feature identification method for identifying the at least one feature, and annotates some of the identified features.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an annotating method including the steps of capturing (100) data representing a light field with a plenoptic image capture device (4); matching (101) the captured data with a corresponding reference data; retrieving an annotation associated with an element of the reference data (102); rendering (103) a view generated from the captured data and including at least one annotation.

Abstract: A method for capturing and processing an image, comprising: capturing a captured image with an image sensor; retrieving steganographic marks hidden in said captured image; processing said captured image based on said hidden marks, so as to generate a processed image; matching the processed image with a reference image from a set of reference images and superimposing elements on the captured image, depending on said reference image. A user device, comprising an image sensor suitable for capturing at least one image and a processor configured to at retrieve hidden marks in said captured image and generating a processed image based on said hidden marks retrieval and annotations processed remotely; the user device is part of a system with a remote server matching the image.

Abstract: A method comprising the steps of: retrieving data (100) representing a light field with a plenoptic capture device (4); executing program code for matching the retrieved data with corresponding reference data (101); executing program code for retrieving at least one annotation (61, 63, 64) in a plenoptic format associated with an element of said reference data (102); executing program code for generating annotated data in a plenoptic format from said retrieved data and said annotation (103).
