Abstract: A method of performing a camera to ground alignment for a camera system on a vehicle. The method includes determining if enabling conditions have occurred and estimating a location of a vanishing point in a source image. Ground lines are selected based on a source image. A lane line detection is performed based on clustering of the ground lines to determine lane lines in the source image. At least one of pitch, yaw, or roll of the vehicle are estimated from the source image. A cost function based on estimates of pitch, yaw, and roll is minimized to obtain an optimal pitch value, an optimal yaw value, an optimal roll value, and lane lines from the source image. A sliding window-based refinement is performed on source images. Alignment results are broadcast to a downstream application or it is determined if the camera system on the vehicle is misaligned.

Abstract: Within many applications impulse radio based ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) transmission offers significant benefits for very short range high data rate communications when compared with existing standards and protocols. In many of these applications the main design goals are very low power consumption and very low complexity design for easy integration and cost reduction. Digitally programmable IR-UWB transmitters using an on-off keying modulation scheme on a 0.13 microns CMOS process operating on 1.2V supply and yielding power consumption as low as 0.9 mW at a 10 Mbps data rate with dynamic power control are enabled. The IR-UWB transmitters support new frequency hopping techniques providing more efficient spectrum usage and dynamic allocation of the spectrum when transmitting in highly congested frequency bands. Biphasic scrambling is also introduced for spectral line reduction.

Abstract: A method for switching audio reception in a video conference and a video conferencing system are provided. In a case of starting the video conference, relative positions of participants in a conference space and behavioral events of participants are obtained by identifying a video signal. Based on the behavioral event of each participant, whether each participant is in a non-speaking behavior is determined. When a participant is determined to be a non-speaker in the non-speaking behavior, an audio reception range of an audio reception device is adjusted to filter a voice of the non-speaker based on the relative position of the non-speaker in the conference space. When a participant is determined to be a speaker not in the non-speaking behavior, the audio reception range of the audio reception device is adjusted to receive a voice of the speaker based on the relative position of the speaker in the conference space.
