Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring a distant object by using both a front camera and back camera of, for example, a cellular telephone. The cameras may or may not be used simultaneously. The back camera is directed towards the object being measured, the front camera is directed to the operator of the device. The measurement of the object is accomplished using two or more pictures of the object taken from different positions. A distance between these positions that is calculated from the pictures of one or several reference objects\points taken by the frontal camera.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for processing of objects are disclosed. A processor coupled to a graphical user interface is configured to display an object. The processor receives input from a user concerning the object, wherein input relates to at least a partial location of the object, as a mouse position close to the object, a line approximately covering the vertical or horizontal extent of the object, or a box approximately covering the object. The processor provides input to a keying module, wherein the keying module processes the received input and provides the input to a recognition engine. The recognition engine is in communication with the keying module. Based on the received input, the recognition engine provides an exact information concerning the received input to the keying module, as an exact location, a recognition result, and a confidence score qualifying the reliability of the recognition results.
