Patent number: 12050283Abstract: Position information estimation in a distributed radio frequency (RF) communications system is provided. Embodiments disclosed herein facilitate high-precision estimations of positions, orientations, velocities, and acceleration of network nodes in a distributed RF network. The distributed RF communications system incorporates a series of estimation processes which makes it susceptible to propagation of errors. To ensure robustness of the distributed RF communications system, relative positions of network nodes are tracked by iteratively tracking parameters used for estimating position information. Some embodiments take advantage of Kalman filtering algorithms by leveraging principles directed by physics. At every network node, several filtering algorithms can be employed to synchronize clocks, track delay between multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antennas and estimate position and orientation of other network nodes.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2020Date of Patent: July 30, 2024Assignee: Arizona Board of Regents on behalf of Arizona State UniversityInventors: Sharanya Srinivas, Andrew Herschfelt, Daniel W.

Patent number: 11967133Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and system for co-operative and cascaded inference on the edge device using an integrated Deep Learning (DL) model for object detection and localization, which comprises a strong classifier trained on largely available datasets and a weak localizer trained on scarcely available datasets, and work in coordination to first detect object (fire) in every input frame using the classifier, and then trigger a localizer only for the frames that are classified as fire frames. The classifier and the localizer of the integrated DL model are jointly trained using Multitask Learning approach. Works in literature hardly address the technical challenge of embedding such integrated DL model to be deployed on edge devices. The method provides an optimal hardware software partitioning approach for components or segments of the integrated DL model which achieves a tradeoff between latency and accuracy in object classification and localization.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2021Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: TATA CONSULTANCY SERVICES LIMITEDInventors: Swarnava Dey, Jayeeta Mondal, Jeet Dutta, Arpan Pal, Arijit Mukherjee, Balamuralidhar Purushothaman
