Abstract: There is described a system for translating clock domain for non-synchronized sensors comprising a first sensor, a second sensor, and an upstream device. The first and second sensors receive a beacon from a tag. Each sensor transmits a report including a beacon receive time in a sensor clock domain. The upstream device receives the reports and translates beacon receive times from the sensor clock domain to an aggregator clock domain. The translation is based, at least in part, on beacon reception data of the sensors, report transmission data of the sensors, and report reception data of the upstream device. The upstream device determines a location of the tag based on a delta of the beacon receive times in the aggregator clock domain.

Abstract: A building management system and method for sensor time correction is described. The system comprises multiple sensors and an energy manager communicating with the sensors. The sensors, distributed within a particular area, provide multiple time measurements in response to detecting an object traversing among the sensors in which the time measurements are associated with unsynchronized time. The energy manager identifies a predicted time for traversing among the sensors based on one or more distances between pairs of sensors and an average velocity of the object to traverse among the sensors. The energy manager determines a sensor time error for each sensor by cross-correlating the time measurements with the predicted time.

Abstract: In a method of electronic image stabilization, a processor buffers image data into a memory buffer, the image data being obtained by the processor from an image sensor disposed in an electronic device. The processor obtains motion data from a motion sensor disposed in the electronic device, wherein the motion data corresponds with a time of capture of the image data. The processor analyzes the motion data to determine a stabilization correction to apply to the image data. The processor applies the determined stabilization correction to the image data to achieve stabilized image data. The determined stabilization correction is applied, and the stabilized image data is achieved, by the processor without requiring a transfer of the image data from the memory buffer to a graphics processing unit. The stabilized image data is output.
