Patent number: 11486978Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for technology that initiates one or more optical pulses in accordance with a first emission pattern, obtains a second emission pattern in response to one or more of a time-variable trigger or a deviation of one or more received optical reflections from an expected reflection pattern, and initiates one or more optical pulses in accordance with the second emission pattern. Moreover, infrastructure node technology may detect, based on an interference notification from a first sensor platform, a deviation of received optical reflection(s) from an expected reflection pattern, select emission parameter(s) in response to the deviation, and alter a first emission pattern with respect to the selected emission parameter(s) to obtain a second emission pattern.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2018Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Alexander Marshall Merritt, David I.

Patent number: 10838106Abstract: Known georeferencing techniques require input in the form of manually-chosen anchor points or dense surveyed data. The present invention is an improved method and system for georeferencing underground geometric data. The method comprises (a) visiting at least two control points; (b) obtaining information about each of the at least two control points using scanning means; (c) recording the information about the at least two control points into a computer processor; and (d) performing a best-fit transformation to the recorded information. Preferably, the scanning means comprises laser scanners and at least two radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags. However, other technologies, such as retro-reflective LIDAR targets, Wi-Fi access points or bar codes and a bar code reader may also be used.
