    Abstract: Technologies are shown for secure management of a data file secured on a data file management blockchain that involve generating a genesis block for a data file management blockchain that contains a data file to be managed and signing the genesis block to commit the genesis block to the data file management blockchain. One or more transaction data blocks are generated for the data file management blockchain that each include a modification to the data file and the blocks are signed to commit them to the blockchain. In some examples, the modifications describe changes to the data file and the transaction data blocks are traced to the genesis block and a current data file generated by applying the modifications on the transaction data blocks to the data file in a sequence determined by an order of the one or more transaction data blocks in the data file management blockchain.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for generating new product images are disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes identifying, via hardware processing circuitry, a template for a category of products, the template defining locations of attributes of products belonging to the category, identifying, via the hardware processing circuitry, common attributes of products of the category based on the template, averaging, via the hardware processing circuitry, corresponding pixel values across images representing the products having the common attributes, generating, via the hardware processing circuitry, a new product image representing a new product based on the averaged pixel values; and generating, via the hardware processing circuitry, a modified new product image by varying attributes of the new product based on the locations of the attributes defined by the template.

    Abstract: According to example embodiments, an Image View Aggregator identifies a frontal view of an item within an image. The Image View Aggregator identifies at least one reflection view of the item within the image. Each reflection view of the item having been captured off a corresponding reflective physical surface. The Image View Aggregator extracts the frontal view of the item and each reflection view of the item from the image. The Image View Aggregator generates a representation of the item based at least on the extracted frontal view of the item and each extracted reflection view of the item.

    Abstract: In various example embodiments, a system and method for determining a crowd response for a crowd are presented. One method is disclosed that includes receiving an audio signal that includes concurrent responses from two or more respondents, determining the concurrent responses from the audio signal without regard to the identity of the respondents, and generating a crowd based on the concurrent responses.

    Abstract: In various example embodiments, a system and method for authenticating a garment are presented. The authentication system can include a code reader configured to receive an image of a garment. An asymmetrical pattern can be woven in a section of the garment. The code reader can decode weft and warp information from weave lines in the asymmetrical pattern and determine a validation code based on the weft and warp information. Additionally, an authentication system can access, from an authentication database, authentication codes associated with authentic garments. The authentication system can calculate a confidence score based on a comparison of the validation code with one of the authentication codes. Subsequently, a publication system can cause a presentation, on a display of a device, a verification that the garment is authentic when the confidence score is above a predetermined threshold.

    Abstract: In various example embodiments, a system and method for reading magnetic information by a mobile device are presented. In example embodiments, the mobile device comprises a housing having an integrated surface for swiping a magnetic swipe card and a magnetometer positioned within the housing to produce digital magnetometer output signals. The digital magnetometer output signals represent magnetic information derived from the magnetic swipe card and from the Earth's magnetic fields (or other sources). In some aspects, the digital magnetometer output signals may be filtered to determine which of the signals are derived from the Earth's magnetic fields and which may be derived from other sources. In sonic aspects, the filtering is based on a range, with those signals falling within a particular range being determined to be derived from the Earth's magnetic field.

    Abstract: A system and method for generating an original image are provided. In example embodiments, a user may select a category with a plurality of images. Common image attributes from the plurality of images within the user selected category is identified. A base image using the plurality of images associated with the identified common image attributes is generated. An original image is generated by varying attributes within the base image.
