Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, and machine readable mediums for assessing the accuracy of one or more local sensors on a mobile device (such as an AV). In some examples, the accuracy of a local sensor of a first AV may be assessed by periodically comparing sensor readings collected by the local sensor to sensor readings matching selection criteria that are collected by one or more remote sensors located at one or more other nearby AVs. A sensor that reports data that is signifimaytly different from that reported by neighboring AVs is likely to be malfunctioning. The use of nearby sensors in nearby AVs may provide for a method for ensuring the integrity of the AV sensor readings without adding redundant sensors.

This disclosure relates to systems and methods for management of information, including environmental information, obtained by a variety of sensors associated with one or more distributed mobile sensor platforms. In certain embodiments, the geographically transitory nature of a mobile sensor platform may be leveraged to facilitate collection of environmental information over a larger geographic area than that of a fixed sensor platform. Embodiments disclosed herein provide for information consistency and/or quality checking of information obtained by mobile sensor platforms. Further embodiments may be used to incentivize the collection and/or acquisition of certain data via point and/or credit-based compensation.

A management server 103 holds a parameter of a sensor device 101 and change management information related to a change in the parameter, and transmits the changed parameter and the change management information to the sensor device. The sensor device 101 holds the parameter and the change management information transmitted from the management server, and transmits the change management information to the management server together with measurement data. The management server collates the received change management information and preliminarily-held change management information to determine the change in the parameter on the basis of a result of the collation.

Disclosed herein are example embodiments for unoccupied flying vehicle (UFV) location assurance. For certain example embodiments, at least one machine, such as a UFV, may: (i) obtain one or more satellite positioning system (SPS) coordinates corresponding to at least an apparent location of at least one UFV; or (ii) perform at least one analysis that uses at least one or more SPS coordinates and at least one assurance token. However, claimed subject matter is not limited to any particular described embodiments, implementations, examples, or so forth.

The invention relates to a stepwise superposition-based Fourier transform differentiation method, which comprises the following steps: S1, sampling an analytic signal in a finite time domain, converting the analytic signal into a discrete spectrum, and identifying spectral peak vertexes through a differential curve of the spectrum; S2, superposing the peak vertexes in the spectrum in a stepped manner according to the principle of superposition-based Fourier transform; and S3, differentiating the spectrum after the stepwise superposition to obtain a stepwise superposition-based Fourier transform differential spectrum or image. The invention not only potently improves the resolution and sensitivity, but also greatly saves computing time.
