  • Patent number: 10790900
    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to frequency offset tracking in optical signals. A device may identify modulated light received from a light source, wherein the modulated light is received at a frame rate, and wherein the modulated light is associated with pixel clusters. The device may determine light samples based on the pixel clusters, the light samples including a first light sample and a second light sample. The device may determine a vector norm between the first light sample and the second light sample using an oversampling factor. The device may determine that the vector norm is below a threshold. The device may determine a start frame delimiter (SFD) based on the vector norm. The device may demodulate the symbol based on the oversampling factor.

  • Patent number: 10586394
    Abstract: An example apparatus for depth sensing includes an image data receiver to receive image data from a communication camera and an augmented reality (AR) camera. The apparatus also includes a modulated light detector to detect one or more modulated lights in the image data from the communication camera. The apparatus further includes a representation generator to generate a visual representation of a local image region for each of the detected modulated lights. The apparatus includes a region matcher to match the visual representation for each of the detected modulated lights with a region in the image data received from the AR camera. The apparatus also further includes a distance estimator to estimate a distance between a dual camera receiver and the one or more modulated lights based on a disparity between a position of the visual representation and a position of the matched region in the image data.
