  • Patent number: 10383085
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to range-determining-module for a transceiver, configured to: receive a signal comprising a received-data-packet, identify a plurality of known-sequence-sections of the received-data-packet, each known-sequence-section containing a known-data-sequence that is known to the range-determining-module; determine a reception-time-stamp associated with each of the plurality of known-sequence-sections; verify the received-data-packet using the reception-time-stamps associated with different respective known-sequence-sections of the received-data-packet; and provide a verified range estimate in accordance with one or more of the time stamps of the verified received-data-packet.

  • Patent number: 10317231
    Abstract: Systems and methods use cameras to provide autonomous navigation features. In one implementation, top-down refinement in lane marking navigation is provided. The system may include one or more memories storing instructions and one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to cause the system to receive from one or more cameras one or more images of a roadway in a vicinity of a vehicle, the roadway comprising a lane marking comprising a dashed line, update a model of the lane marking based on odometry of the one or more cameras relative to the roadway, refine the updated model of the lane marking based on an appearance of dashes derived from the received one or more images and a spacing between dashes derived from the received one or more images, and cause one or more navigational responses in the vehicle based on the refinement of the updated model.
