Patent number: 7502053Abstract: For an information terminal to be operated by users for collecting predetermined pieces of information from remote information devices by free-space optical communication, the present invention provides a technique for suppressing the power consumption of the information terminal by minimizing the amount of calculation performed to collect the aforementioned information. According to the present invention, each information device emits ID light on which a low-frequency pilot signal is superimposed. The information terminal captures a series of frames of images including the ID light and locates the ID light within the images by the following steps: (1) creating multiple levels of binned images having different resolutions for each frame of the image; (2) calculating an evaluation index for each pixel within a target range of the binned images at each level, from the lowest to the highest resolution, where the target range is narrowed every time the process switches over to a lower level.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2006Date of Patent: March 10, 2009Assignees: Japan Science and Technology Agency, National University Corporation NARA Institute of Science and Technology, Funai Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Keiichrio Kagawa, Jun Ohta, Yuki Maeda, Yasuo Masaki, Hideki Tanabe, Yasunari Miyake
