Abstract: A position fix identifying a geographic location of a receiver is received. The position fix was generated using signals received at the receiver from respective high-altitude signal sources (such as satellites). Imagery of a geographic area that includes the geographic location is also received. The imagery is automatically processed to determine whether one or more of the high-altitude signal sources were occluded from the geographic location when the position fix was generated. In response to determining that one or more of the high-altitude signal sources were occluded from the geographic location when the position fix was generated, the position fix is identified as being potentially erroneous.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to methods and systems for generating a geodetic datum. The geodetic datum can establish a coordinate system and/or a set of reference points that describe the respective locations of a portion or all of Earth and/or objects located thereon. In general, a computing system can generate the geodetic datum using various sensor data from one or more sources including: satellite imagery, aerial imagery, aerial light detection and ranging data (LIDAR), ground-level imagery, ground-level LIDAR, and/or other forms of sensor data. This data can be used as a reference dataset that can be combined with additional sensor data (e.g., a second dataset) to determine correspondences between overlapping areas represented in the datasets. Continuing this process for regions that collectively cover the Earth can be used to create a geodetic datum of the entire Earth, without using a mathematic abstraction of the Earth surface.

Abstract: Provided are a re-using e-commerce payment instruments for in-store purchasing systems and methods. A customer enters a check out and a transaction at the point of sale is started. The system receives a pairing request at a wallet processor from a customer mobile device operating a mobile application. This pairing request is created and sent in response to scanning of a code having a transaction identification. The system associates a customer payment profile with the transaction identification and sends associated information to the point of sale. The point of sale sends an amount of sale to authorize to the wallet processor after completing scanning of items. The system creates an authorization for payment and sending the authorization for payment to an authorizer. The transaction may then be completed by processing payment.
