METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SPEED OR VELOCITY ESTIMATION USING OPTICAL SENSOR
Systems and methods are disclosed for estimating speed and/or velocity for a portable device using an optical sensor. The optical sensor may capture a plurality of samples to be processed to estimate speed. The speed or velocity may be estimated based on a determined context and/or usage of the portable device. The estimated speed or velocity may be used to supplement other navigational solutions or may be used independently.
COMPUTING LOCALIZATION UNCERTAINTY FOR DEVICES OPERATING IN DYNAMIC ENVIRONMENTS
A first device can determine a map of an environment that includes a plurality of elements. The first device can further determine a localization uncertainty level (LUL) within the map. The first device can further determine a dynamicity level (D_map) for a portion of the plurality of elements in the map. The first device can further determine a new LUL (LUL_new) based on the LUL and the D_map. The first device can further provide the LUL_new to a second device in the environment.
