International Classification:

G01S 3/80

US Classification:

367127, 367118

Abstract:

A receiving device captures sounds signals (e. g. , ultrasonic) from multiple sound signal sources, selects the sound signals satisfying a reliability condition for use in determining an initial position of the receiving device relative to the corresponding sound signal sources, determines the initial position of the receiving device using multilateration of the selected sound signals, and updates the current position of the receiving device as the reliability of individual sound signals varies in the presence of dynamically changing environmental interference, multipathing, and movement between the receiving device and the sound signal sources.

Abstract:

Systems and methods for switching from a linearly distributed live content and/or internet stream to other contents are provided by aligning timing between contents. Break points may be programmed between diverse non-time synced source encoder of the respective contents to facilitate switching between contents. A first linear stream is caused to be provided. A switchover time to a second linear stream is then identified. The second linear stream is caused to be provided at the switchover time. In different embodiments, switching may occur between different number of contents using the described systems and methods. One or more streaming contents may be up-converted and/or down-converted in different streaming systems.

International Classification:

G06K 9/52
G06K 9/62
G06K 9/46

Abstract:

Two-dimensional and three-dimensional data of a physical scene are combined and analyzed together to identify physical objects physically present in the physical scene. Image features obtained from the two-dimensional data and geometric features obtained from the three-dimensional data are combined with one another such that corresponding image features are associated with corresponding geometric features. Automated object detection mechanisms are directed to the combination of image and geographic features and consider them together in identifying physical objects from the physical scene. Such automated object detection mechanisms utilize machine learning such as selecting and tuning multiple classifiers, with each classifier identifying potential objects based on a specific set of image and geographic features, and further identifying and adjusting weighting factors to be applied to the results of such classifiers, with the weighted combination of the output of the multiple classifiers providing the resulting object identification.

International Classification:

G01S 7/497
G01S 17/89

Abstract:

Lidar scanning is used in a variety of scenarios to detect the locations, sizes, shapes, and/or orientations of a variety of objects. The accuracy of such scanning techniques is dependent upon the calibration of the orientation of the lidar sensor, because small discrepancies between a presumed orientation and an actual orientation may result in significant differences in the detected properties of various objects. Such errors are often avoided by calibrating the lidar sensor before use for scanning, and/or registering the lidar data set, but lidar sensors in the field may still become miscalibrated and may generate inaccurate data. Presented herein are techniques for identifying, verifying, and/or correcting for lidar calibration by projecting a lidar pattern on a surface of the environment, and detecting changes in detected geometry from one or more locations. Comparing detected angles with predicted angles according to a predicted calibration enables the detection of calibration differences.
