  • Publication number: 20240142560
    Abstract: Within several applications the ability to localize an individual within an environment is beneficial. However, existing indoor localization approaches depend upon at least one of two assumptions. First, the subject(s) localization is achieved by localizing a wireless device carried by the subject and second, wireless fingerprints are established for the localization via a site survey being performed before a system can actually localize the subject(s). However, in many application scenarios, neither of the above two assumptions are true, namely that the user is not carrying an active wireless device or that the site has been surveyed. Accordingly, embodiments of the invention provide for subject localization by a dynamic calibration of wireless signals between a receiver and a transmitter, where neither the receiver or transmitter are associated with an electronic device carried or worn by the subject.

  • Publication number: 20240118772
    Abstract: This document describes systems and techniques directed at mitigating display diffraction flares for under-display sensing. In aspects, an equation may be derived that models the effects of a display in producing a diffraction phenomenon at an image plane of a sensing region for an under-display light-sensing device. The equation may be used to determine an arrangement (e.g., an optimized arrangement) of components (e.g., sub-pixels) within the display that minimizes a diffraction efficiency for at least one diffraction order and, thereby, mitigates an intensity and/or a prevalence of optical artifacts in light-sensing data. In implementations, an image intensity point-spread-function is utilized to calculate diffraction efficiencies for respective diffraction orders (e.g., the lowest diffraction orders, the diffraction orders with the greatest brightness).

  • Publication number: 20240103439
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method and system for optimizing first-diffraction-order reconstruction of holograms, a device and a medium, and relates to the field of image processing. The method includes: acquiring a target image; determining a target image light field according to the target image; calculating a target diffraction field for the target image light field by performing backward propagation by a set distance; constructing a U-Net network model; and inputting the target diffraction field into a trained U-Net network model to acquire an optimized hologram. The trained U-Net network model is obtained by constructing a U-Net network model and training and optimizing the U-Net network model, thereby continuously improving the quality of the zero-diffraction-order reconstructed image of the initial hologram and finally achieving the effect of optimizing the first-diffraction-order reconstructed image of the hologram.

  • Patent number: 11930414
    Abstract: Hybrid use of dual policies is provided to improve a communication system. In a multiple access scenario, when an inactive user equipment (UE) transitions to an active state, it may be become a burden to a radio cell on which it was previously camping. In some embodiments, hybrid load balancing is provided using a hierarchical machine learning paradigm based on reinforcement learning in which an LSTM generates a goal for one policy influencing cell reselection so that another policy influencing handover over active UEs can be assisted. The communication system as influenced by the policies is modeled as a Markov decision process (MDP). The policies controlling the active UEs and inactive UEs are coupled, and measureable system characteristics are improved. In some embodiments, policy actions depend at least in part on energy saving.
