Abstract: A computing platform that analyzes a captured video stream to identify a document depicted in the video stream, validates identification information corresponding to the document to display an information address associated with the document, and that initiates a transaction based on the validation of the identification information associated with the document.

Abstract: An image-based transaction system includes a mobile device with an image sensor that is programmed to capture, via the image sensor, a video stream of a scene. The mobile device identifies a document using image characteristics from the video stream and acquires an image of at least a part of the document, and then identifies symbols in the image based on locations within the image of the document. The symbols can include alphanumeric symbols. The mobile device processes the symbols according to their type to obtain an address related to the document and the symbols and initiates a transaction associated with the identified document.

Abstract: A digital image depicting a digital representation of a scene is captured by an image sensor of a vehicle. An identification system recognizes a real-world object from the digital image as a target object based on derived image characteristics and identifies object information about the target object based on the recognition. The identification provides the object information to the vehicle data system of the vehicle so that the vehicle data system can execute a control function of the vehicle based on the received object information.

Abstract: Methods of interacting with a mixed reality are presented. A mobile device captures an image of a real-world object where the image has content information that can be used to control a mixed reality object through an offered command set. The mixed reality object can be real, virtual, or a mixture of both real and virtual.

Abstract: A real-world object is recognized from image data based on derived image characteristics, which are used to derive search information to conduct a search. The search returns object information which is used to execute a software process by a mobile device.

Abstract: A mobile system that performs object recognition, identifying real-world objects in a scene from captured digital data of the scene. The mobile system identifies the real-world objects based on derived salient characteristics from the digital data, and retrieves stored object information corresponding to the identified object such that a CPU can execute a software process based on the retrieved object information about the real-world object.

Abstract: A digital image of the object is captured and the object is recognized from plurality of objects in a database as part of a computer-based game. An information address corresponding to the object is then used to access content information associated with the identified object and interact with the game based on the content information.

Abstract: An identification method and process for objects from digitally captured images thereof that uses image characteristics to identify an object from a plurality of objects in a database. The image is broken down into parameters such as a Shape Comparison, Grayscale Comparison, Wavelet Comparison, and Color Cube Comparison with object data in one or more databases to identify the actual object of a digital image. The inventive subject matter also includes systems and methods of interacting with a virtual space, in which a mobile device is used to electronically capture image data of a real-world object, the image data is used to identify information related to the real-world object, which enables the mobile device to execute processes that include interaction with the object.

Abstract: An object is recognized from image data as a target object and linked to a user based on an interaction by the user, information about the target object is obtained and a purchase of the target object is initiated.

Abstract: A digital image segment of a human body part is captured and matched against a reference image segment. If the match score meets a threshold, the digital image segment is stored and the human body part is recognized as a target object. An information address corresponding to the object is then used to access information and initiate communication pertinent to the object. If the match score does not meet a threshold, a second image containing a representation of the human body part is obtained.
