A method of tracking an inventory of objects via a mobile communications device includes acquiring an image of one or more of the objects via the mobile communications device, which also collects a location of the mobile communications device while acquiring the image of the o
Mobile devices often connect to the network via wireless channels. In general, the downlink of the wireless channel (e.g., the cellular access network) is limited in throughput.
Local image features have become pervasive in the areas of computer vision and image retrieval and are increasingly finding application in real-time object recognition, 3-D reconstruction, panorama stitching, robotic mapping, and video tracking.
This invention offers a cost-effective solution to streaming video to mobile users. A prototype has been implemented in software, demonstrating its low operational cost based on peer-to-peer technology and its robustness to peer failure.
Stanford researchers in the Dai Lab have developed the first ultra-bright cubic-phase erbium-based rare-earth nanoparticles (α-ErNPs) with down-shifting luminescence at ~ 1600 nm for in vivo NIR-IIb (1500-1700 nm) imaging with deep penetration and high clarity.
