  • Publication number: 20260212689
    Abstract: Provided are a lane line detection method, an autonomous mobile device, and a storage medium. In the lane line detection method, an original image captured by a camera of the autonomous mobile device is acquired, and an ab-channel-based gradient image is calculated according to the original image. Line segments located on edges of lane lines are extracted from the ab-channel-based gradient image, to obtain multiple original line segments. Collinear line segments among the multiple original line segments are cascaded in an iterative manner, to obtain multiple cascaded line segments. Multiple candidate lane lines are generated from the multiple cascaded line segments. Collinear candidate lane lines of the multiple cascaded line segments are merged to obtain lane lines in the original image.

  • Patent number: 12634081
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present application relate to techniques for configuring and/or performing channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) resource aggregation. For example, the techniques described herein enable multiple resource mappings within a single CSI-RS resource. These multiple mappings may facilitate the aggregation of a greater number of CSI-RS resources, thereby supporting a larger number of CSI-RS ports. A user equipment (UE) may then perform CSI measurements using this expanded set of CSI-RS ports.

  • Publication number: 20260121700
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Techniques described my support dedicated codebooks for sparse antenna arrays, and channel state information (CSI) reporting procedures with reduced overhead. Precoding matrix indicator (PMI) reporting (e.g., in a CSI report) may be based on such dedicated codebook structures. For a CSI report for sparse antenna arrays, each precoding vector for each transmission layer may be constructed from two sub-vectors. Each sub-vector may include an overlapping entry (e.g., one entry in the first sub-vector is the same as one entry in the other sub-vector). Each sub-vector may correspond to an antenna subarray. The overlapping entry may correspond to a same antenna element in both of the two subarrays. The network may provide a UE with an indication of a sparse codebook type, and one or more parameter values for the sparse codebook type.
