Abstract:
Association algorithms of newly-detected lane boundaries to lane boundaries can be made more robust through the use of generated or "dummy" states. Different types of dummy states can be used to identify outlier/erroneous detections and/or new, legitimate lane boundaries. Therefore, depending on a type of dummy state a newly-detected lane boundary is associated with, the newly-detected lane boundary can be ignored, or the associated dummy state can be added to the lane boundary states of the filter.
Abstract:
To make error correction in a position estimate of a vehicle, visual lane markings on the road can be matched with lane boundaries for the road within 3-D map data. Embodiments include obtaining a "stripe" indicative of an observed lane marking captured in a from a camera image, obtaining map data for the road on which the vehicle is located, determining the plane of the road from coordinates of lane boundaries within the map data, projecting the stripe onto the plane, and comparing the projected stripe with lane boundaries within the map data and associating the visual lane markings with the closest lane boundary. Differences between the projected stripe and the associated lane boundary can then be used for error correction in the position estimate of the vehicle.
Abstract:
Disclosed are devices, systems and methods for processing satellite positioning system (SPS) signals for performing positioning operations. In particular, devices, systems disclosed herein are directed to determining estimates of undifferenced ambiguity values of a plurality of received SPS signals; and solving for a time based, at least in part, on the estimates of undifferenced ambiguity values.
Abstract:
The disclosure generally relates to position sensors, and more particularly to outlier detection using spatial displacement data. An apparatus for use in position sensing may include a displacement sensor, a positioning signal receiver having a receiver clock, a memory, and a processor coupled to the displacement sensor, the positioning signal receiver, and the memory. The processor and memory may be configured to calculate a change in a receiver clock bias of the receiver clock based on range measurements and spatial-based displacement data, propagate a first range measurement based, at least in part, on the spatial-based displacement data and the change in the receiver clock bias, and determine an outlier range measurement based, at least in part, on the propagated first range measurement.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for storing and deleting received data packets over combined vehicular and wireless communications networks. In one example, an apparatus in a vehicular communication network may receive a data packet and may determine whether to store or delete the received data packet based on a ratio of distances between the data packet and its destination address as well as the data packet's source address and its destination address.
Abstract:
A method for position determination based on carrier-phase measurements is disclosed. The method comprises receiving one or more downlink signals transmitted from a base station (BS) during a downlink period (410), wherein the downlink signals are modulated using a downlink carrier wave, measuring, during the downlink period, a first carrier phase associated with the downlink carrier wave (430), estimating, during an uplink period subsequent to the downlink period, an integer ambiguity (IA) change (470), and measuring, during a later downlink period subsequent to the uplink period, a second carrier phase based on the resolved first carrier phase and the estimated IA change (490).
Abstract:
Methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable media are described. In one example, a method of controlling a vehicle comprises: receiving, using one or more sensors, a first set of measurements of a set of physical attributes of the vehicle in a motion; determining, based on a motion data model that defines a set of relationships among the set of physical attributes of the vehicle in the motion and based on the first set of measurements, a set of expected measurements of the set of physical attributes; determining whether to use an entirety of the first set of measurements to control an operation of the vehicle based on comparing the first set of measurements and the set of expected measurements; and responsive to determining not to use the entirety of the first set of measurements, controlling the operation of the vehicle based on a second set of measurements.
Abstract:
Example methods, apparatuses, or articles of manufacture are disclosed herein that may be utilized, in whole or in part, to facilitate or support one or more operations and/or techniques for enhanced passive positioning with adaptive round trip time (RTT)-type ranging, such as for use in or with a mobile communication device, for example.
