    Abstract: Described herein is a mechanism for visual recognition of items or visual search using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) of text in images. Recognized OCR blocks in an image comprise position information and recognized text. The embodiments utilize a location-aware feature vector created using the position and recognized information in each recognized block. The location-aware features of the feature vector utilize position information associated with the block to calculate a weight for the block. The recognized text is used to construct a tri-character gram frequency, inverse document frequency (TGF-IDP) metric using tri-character grams extracted from the recognized text. Features in location-aware feature vector for the block are computed by multiplying the weight and the corresponding TGF-IDF metric. The location-aware feature vector for the image is the sum of the location-aware feature vectors for the individual blocks.

    Abstract: Methods, apparatus and systems for wireless gait recognition and rhythmic motion monitoring are described. In one example, a described system comprises: a transmitter, a receiver, and a processor. The transmitter is configured for transmitting a first wireless signal towards an object in a venue through a wireless multipath channel of the venue. The receiver is configured for: receiving a second wireless signal through the wireless multipath channel between the transmitter and the receiver. The second wireless signal differs from the first wireless signal due to the wireless multipath channel which is impacted by a rhythmic motion of the object. The processor is configured for: obtaining a time series of channel information (CI) of the wireless multipath channel based on the second wireless signal, monitoring the rhythmic motion of the object based on the time series of CI (TSCI), and triggering a response action based on a result of the monitoring.

    Abstract: A fare gate in a transportation system including a barrier, a sensor, and an actuator. The actuator moves the barrier from the open position into the closed position. The sensor is mounted on the barrier and in one position captures sensor data across an aisle formed by the fare gate. A transit user in front of the barrier in another position is identified by the sensor. The transit user passes through the fare gate using the aisle. The actuator moves the barrier from a closed position to an open position to clear passage through the aisle. Using the sensor, the aisle is scanned with a movement of the barrier. The sensor is calibrated based on a predetermined point with movement of the barrier to align the sensor and the predetermined point.
