Abstract: A method and system acquire a received impulse radio signal by correlating a region, including a plurality of cells, of the received impulse radio signal using multiple time-shifted template signals, each template signal having a different delay to obtain a correlation value for each template signal. The correlation values are averages, and a particular delay associated with a particular template signal having a substantial increase in successive averages to locate a signal cell in the region.

Abstract: A camera generates a textured range image. The camera includes a single lens, and a flash substantially co-located with the lens. The camera acquires a first image of a scene from a point of view with ambient light, and a second image of the scene from the point of view with direct light of the flash. The first image and the seconds image are then combined by a divider to generate the textured range image.
