    Abstract: Systems and methods for adaptively determining a region of interest (ROI) are disclosed herein. An example device includes an imaging assembly and a controller. The imaging assembly captures image data comprising pixel data from a plurality of pixels. The controller calculates a contrast value for each pixel of the plurality of pixels, generates a histogram of contrast values, calculates an area under the curve of the histogram, and determines a contrast value threshold to delineate between high-contrast value pixels and low-contrast value pixels. The controller also identifies a ROI within the image data by locating a region within the image data that (i) satisfies a pre-determined size threshold and (ii) contains a largest number of high-contrast value pixels relative to all other regions that satisfy the pre-determined size threshold, and adjusts imaging parameters of the imaging assembly based on the ROI to capture at least one subsequent image.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for determining an intent to speak based on minute facial skin movements. In one implementation, a system may include a processor configured to control at least one coherent light source to illuminate a region of a face. The processor may receive from at least one sensor, reflection signals indicative of coherent light reflected from the face. The reflection signals may be analyzed to determine minute facial skin movements associated with silent speech. Then, based on the determined minute facial skin movements associated with the silent speech, the processor may determine a speech intent, and initiate, prior to an audible utterance of the silent speech, an action based on the determined speech intent.

    Abstract: A package delivery sharing system includes a holding area for holding packages intended for delivery to one or more package recipients and a computing system with a processor and memory storing records of packages in the holding area. The processor is configured to track each package in the holding area awaiting delivery to the one or more package recipients, to offer a fee to individuals other than the package recipients for delivering a given package in the holding area to a particular package recipient, to select a person who accepts the fee in return for transporting the given package to the particular package recipient, to enable the person to access the holding area, to help the person to find the given package, through light guidance or other visual cues, and take the given package, and to confirm that the person took a correct package from the holding area.
