In one aspect, there is provided a system including at least one processor, and at least one memory including program code which when executed by the at least one processor causes operations including capturing an image of at least a portion of a surface of an object; generating, from the captured image, pixel intensity data; in response to generating the pixel intensity data, determining, based on a height error model, height error data, wherein the height error data indicates an uncertainty of at least one height measurement of the object; and determining, based on the height error data, whether the object satisfies a threshold criteria for acceptance of the object. Related system, methods, and articles of manufacture are also disclosed.

Pore measurement device

A shared vehicle system includes a central facility, at least one vehicle distribution port facility and a plurality or fleet of vehicles, each having a vehicle subsystem. In general, the central station and port facility and the vehicle subsystems communicate in a manner to allow a user to enter information at a port facility. That information is then communicated to the central facility, where the information is processed to select a vehicle from the fleet to allocate to the user at the port facility. Selection of a vehicle for allocation to a user may be based on selecting an available or soon to be available vehicle according to various algorithms that take into account the vehicles state of charge. The central station also communicates with the port facility and the vehicle subsystem to notify the user of the selected vehicle, to provide secure user access to the selected vehicle, to monitor the location and operating status of vehicles in the fleet, to monitor the state of charge of electric vehicles and to provide other functions. The vehicles communicate with the central station to notify the central station of the PIN number of the individual attempting to use the vehicle, and of vehicle parameters such as state of charge and location of the vehicle.

Shared vehicle system and method involving reserving vehicles with highest states of charge

A system for sharing a fleet of vehicles among a plurality of users, where in preferred embodiments the shared vehicles are electrically powered, the system comprising a system control computer that assigns vehicles in response to requests by users, and monitors system performance, a computer subsystem through which users request vehicles for trips, and a vehicle subsystem within each vehicle that is in communication with the system control computer allowing the system control computer to monitor the location and status of each vehicle in the vehicle sharing fleet.
