A system and method for the measurement of distances related to an object depicted in an image. One aspect including delivery of supplemental materials for fenestration and for constructing insulating materials for fenestration. A digital image containing a primary object dimension and a reference object dimension in substantially the same plane undergoes digital image processing to provide improved measurement capability. Information regarding a primary object is provided to an automated measurement process, design and manufacturing system to provide customized parts to end users. A digital image is obtained having an observable constraint dimension to which a customized part is to conform wherein the digital image contains a reference object having a reference dimension and a constraint dimension is calculated from the digital image based on a reference dimension. The custom part is designed and manufactured based on the calculated constraint dimension.

A system and method are provided for presenting self-diagnostic test instructions in the form of audiovisual messages. The system and method include collecting by a user of a testing device a biologic sample for use with a testing device, assigning correlative values as test results, and receiving the test results at a server disposed on a network. Some aspects of the system and method present test instructions to the user in the form of audiovisual messages. The audiovisual messages are provided to the user as a response to an interaction with a retail diagnostic product. In some aspects, the complete audiovisual message is presented before the user may complete a self-diagnostic test.

In general, techniques are described for a personal protective equipment (PPE) management system (PPEMS) that uses images of optical patterns embodied on articles of personal protective equipment (PPEs) to identify safety conditions that correspond to usage of the PPEs. In one example, an article of personal protective equipment (PPE) includes a first optical pattern embodied on a surface of the article of PPE; a second optical pattern embodied on the surface of the article of PPE, wherein a spatial relation between the first optical pattern and the second optical pattern is indicative of an operational status of the article of PPE.

In order to acquire recognition environment information impacting the recognition accuracy of a recognition engine, an information processing device 100 comprises a detection unit 101 and an environment acquisition unit 102. The detection unit 101 detects a marker, which has been disposed within a recognition target zone for the purpose of acquiring information, from an image captured by means of an imaging device which captures images of objects located within the recognition target zone. The environment acquisition unit 102 acquires the recognition environment information based on image information of the detected marker. The recognition environment information is information representing the way in which a recognition target object is reproduced in an image captured by the imaging device when said imaging device captures an image of the recognition target object located within the recognition target zone.

The present invention relates to a method for authenticating a document comprising at least one line of anti-counterfeit patterns spaced from each other, the positions of the anti-counterfeit patterns being random, and a partial anti-counterfeit pattern being provided at an edge line of said document, the method comprising the following steps of:

receiving a digital image of said document, said digital image comprising said partial anti-counterfeit pattern in a first edge area corresponding to said edge line;

selecting said first edge area;

copy-pasting said first edge area adjacent to a second edge area of the digital image to generate a combined digital image, said second edge area being opposite to said first edge area, wherein content, which is comprised in said second edge area and located on the same line as said partial anti-counterfeit pattern, and said partial anti-counterfeit pattern jointly form a combined pattern;

authenticating said document by taking into account said combined pattern.

Aspects of the present disclosure provide a method of aligning a wafer pattern. For example, the method can include providing a wafer having a reference pattern located below a front side of the wafer, and directing a light beam to the wafer. The method can further include identifying at least one of power and a wavelength of the light beam such that the light beam is capable of passing through the wafer and reaching the reference pattern, or identifying at least one of power and a wavelength of the light beam based on at least one of a material of the wafer and a depth of the reference pattern below the front side of the wafer. The method can further include using the light beam to image the reference pattern.

A method and system for displaying information relating to a designated marker is provided. An image including the designated marker is acquired. The designated marker is extracted from the acquired image. A type of the designated marker is identified from the extracted marker. The identified type of the designated marker is communicated to a server, and in response, marker information identified from the type of the designated marker is obtained from the server. The marker information relates to the designated marker and identifies at least two other markers. Relative positional information of the device in relation to the extracted marker is determined. A displayed informational image includes the designated marker and at least one other marker of the at least two other markers, which are displayed in accordance with a determined relative position between the designated marker and each marker of the at least one other marker.

Systems and methods for custom functional patterns for optical barcodes are provided. In example embodiments, image data of an image is received from a user device. A candidate shape feature of the image is extracted from the image data. A determination is made that the shape feature satisfies a shape feature rule. In response to the candidate shape feature satisfying the shape feature rule, a custom graphic in the image is identified by comparing the candidate shape feature with a reference shape feature of the custom graphic. In response to identifying the custom graphic, data encoded in a portion of the image is decoded.

An approach is provided for determining an optimal alignment of a device. The approach, for example, involves receiving image data from a device mounted in a vehicle. The approach also involves presenting an alignment template in a user interface of the device as an overlay on the image data, wherein the alignment template provides one or more guidelines indicating a target alignment of the device to capture images from the vehicle for an application. The approach further involves processing the image data against the alignment template to determining an alignment of the device in relation to the target alignment.

The disclosure herein relates to systems, methods, and devices for medical image analysis, diagnosis, risk stratification, decision making and/or disease tracking. In some embodiments, the systems, devices, and methods described herein are configured to analyze non-invasive medical images of a subject to automatically and/or dynamically identify one or more features, such as plaque and vessels, and/or derive one or more quantified plaque parameters, such as radiodensity, radiodensity composition, volume, radiodensity heterogeneity, geometry, location, and/or the like. In some embodiments, the systems, devices, and methods described herein are further configured to generate one or more assessments of plaque-based diseases from raw medical images using one or more of the identified features and/or quantified parameters.
