    Abstract: Blur metrics may be calculated for each of the image pixels of a digital image of a scene captured using an imaging device. The blur metrics may be indicative of the level of blur expressed in the digital image, and a blur image representative of the blur metrics may be generated. Subsequently, when another digital image is to be captured using the imaging device, pixel sensors corresponding to high blur metrics may be digitized at a high level of priority, or at a high rate, compared to pixel sensors corresponding to low blur metrics, which may be digitized at a low level of priority, or at a low rate. The blur images may be updated based on changes in blur observed in subsequent images, and different pixel sensors may be digitized at higher or lower levels of priority, or at higher or lower rates, based on the changes in blur.

    Abstract translation: 可以对使用成像装置拍摄的场景的数字图像的每个图像像素计算模糊度量。 模糊度量可以指示在数字图像中表达的模糊度,并且可以生成表示模糊度量的模糊图像。 随后,当使用成像装置捕获另一数字图像时,与对应于低模糊度量的像素传感器相比,与高模糊度量相对应的像素传感器可以以高优先级或高速率被数字化, 以低水平的优先级或低速率数字化。 可以基于随后图像中观察到的模糊度的变化来更新模糊图像,并且可以基于模糊的变化以不同的优先级或更高或更低的速率将不同的像素传感器数字化。

    Abstract: Visual cues may be provided for the purpose of triggering the performance of one or more actions associated with a given task. A visual cue may include one or more characters or other markings on any relevant surfaces, as well as naturally appearing edges, contours or outlines within an environment in which the visual cue is provided. When one or more visual cues appear within a field of view of an imaging device, and the visual cues are recognized as such, a task relating to the visual cues may be identified, and instructions for performing the task may be provided. The task may be dependent upon a context in which the visual cues are provided, such that a single visual cue may be associated with multiple tasks in different contexts, and the performance of the task may be confirmed based on imaging data or other relevant information.

    Abstract translation: 可以提供视觉线索以用于触发与给定任务相关联的一个或多个动作的执行。 视觉提示可以包括任何相关表面上的一个或多个字符或其他标记,以及在其中提供视觉提示的环境中的自然出现的边缘,轮廓或轮廓。 当一个或多个视觉提示出现在成像设备的视野内时,并且视觉提示被识别时,可以识别与视觉提示相关的任务,并且可以提供用于执行任务的指令。 任务可以取决于提供视觉提示的上下文,使得单个视觉提示可以与不同上下文中的多个任务相关联,并且可以基于成像数据或其他相关信息确认任务的执行。

    Abstract: A vehicle or another object is grasped by a robotic arm of a handling system and caused to undergo one or more movements or manipulations resulting in a change of position, orientation, velocity or acceleration of the vehicle. Sensors provided in the robotic arm capture data representative of forces or torques imparted upon the robotic arm by the vehicle during or after the movement, or power or energy levels of vibration resulting from the movement. A signature representative of an inertial or vibratory response of the vehicle to the movement is derived based on the data. The signature may be compared to a baseline signature similarly derived for a vehicle that is known to be structurally and aerodynamically sound. If the signature is sufficiently similar to the baseline signature, the vehicle may also be determined to be structurally and aerodynamically sound.

    Abstract: An intermediary device may be configured to allow an authorized visitor to access a secure facility (such as a home) on behalf of an owner. The intermediary device may generate an authenticator and provide the authenticator to a service provider, who may then present the authenticator to the intermediary device upon arriving at the facility. The intermediary device may unlock or open, or lock and close, any doors within the facility as necessary in order to grant access to a specific portion of the facility and restrict access to other portions of the facility. The intermediary device may also capture, or cause the capture of, images or other data regarding actions taken by the service provider, and establish a communications channel with the owner for the exchange of information or data regarding such actions, or any events or conditions of the facility.

    Abstract: Autonomous vehicles may be deployed to areas where an item is in demand, and configured to fulfill orders for the item received from the areas. The autonomous vehicles are loaded with the item and dispatched to the area under their own power or in a carrier. When an order for the item is received, an autonomous vehicle delivers the item to a location in the area. Autonomous vehicles may also be equipped with a 3D printer or other equipment and loaded with materials for manufacturing the item. When an order for the item is received, the autonomous vehicle manufactures the item from such materials, and delivers the item. Autonomous vehicles may be configured for collaboration, such as to deliver or manufacture items in multiple stages and to transfer the items between vehicles. Autonomous vehicles may also be configured to automatically access locations in the area, e.g., using wireless access codes.

    Abstract: A system generates a first gift selection matrix that includes a first set of items of interest to a recipient organized in columns of increasing cost and rows of decreasing interest to the recipient. The system transmits the first gift selection matrix to a first user computing device and to a second user computing device. Item selections are received from users, along with gift purchase contribution pledges. If the pledges are insufficient to cover a cost of one of the selected items, the system sends a request to the first user and the second user for either an a second gift selection, or a pledge of additional funds. If the new gift selections are not the same, or if the pledged amounts are insufficient to purchase a selected gift, the system generates a second gift selection matrix. The system transmits the second gift selection matrix to the first user computing device and the second user computing device. A final gift selection can be made from the second matrix.
