Abstract: A device includes a camera and an image processing system. A first identity of a first object represented in a first image is determined. The first image is captured at a first time. A first geographical location of the camera and a second geographical location of the first object are determined at the first time. A second identity of a second object represented in a second image is determined. The second image is captured at a second time. A third geographical location of the camera and a fourth geographical location of the second object is determined at the second time. The first object and the second object are determined to be the same when the first identity matches the second identity and the second geographical location is within a threshold distance of the fourth geographical location. The device generates an output message including information about the first object.

Abstract: A sensor head transitions between a retracted and extended state. While retracted, sensors are covered. While extended, the sensors are exposed and may be used to acquire sensor data about the physical space. A force applied by a user, or a received command, may initiate transition. For example, a user may press on the sensor head to initiate retraction or extension. A motor provides a force to move the sensor head and generate haptic feedback, while a position encoder determines a displacement of the sensor head due to an external force being applied. Different applications of force by the user to the sensor head may result in different operations by the device. For example, a short push may retract the sensor head and disable the sensors for a specified time interval. In comparison a long push may retract the sensor head and disable the sensors until a specified clock time.
