Title: Method for optical data transmission from a transmitting device to a receiving device
Inventor: GIGGENBACH DIRK
IPC: H04B10/118
Filed: 2014-12-15
Abstract: The present invention relates to free-space optical (FSO) transmission, preferably from a ground station to a satellite. The transmission apparatus transmits multiple data streams in respective frequency / wavelength bands (DF1, DF2, DF3). The present application builds on known transmit diversity systems for combating scintillation fluctuations. Thus, the first data stream, DF1, is transmitted redundantly by a first transmitter and a second transmitter which is spatially offset from the first transmitter. However, in the present application, the first transmitter, TA, transmits, in a first beam BA, the first data stream in a first sub-band, F1A, of the first frequency band; and the second transmitter, TB, transmits, in a second beam BB, the first data stream in a second sub-band, F1B, of the first frequency band. Similarly, for each of the other data streams, the first and second transmitters use different sub-bands (F2A, F2B and F3A, F3B) of respective frequency bands (DF2 and DF3). In the receiver, first and second beams BA, BB, combine at a common detector 2. In general, there may be n data streams, n wavelength bands, m transmitters and m sub-bands per wavelength band, where n and m are positive integers greater than 1.

Title: Real-Time Height Mapping
Inventor: ANDREW DAVISON
IPC: G06T17/00
Filed: 2016-05-13
Abstract: Certain examples described herein relate to apparatus and techniques suitable for mapping a 3D space. In examples, a height map is generated in real-time from depth map and camera pose inputs provided from at least one image capture device. The height map may be processed to generate a free-space map to determine navigable portions of the space by a robotic device. The process involves generating an initial surface model of a space of interest, obtaining a measured depth map for the surface, obtaining pose data corresponding to the depth map then rendering a predicted depth map based upon the initial surface model and the pose data. Partial derivatives of the depth values are then obtained from the predicted depth map with reference to the geometric parameters of the surface model. These partial derivatives are then used to reduce a cost function comprising at least an error between the rendered depth map and the measured depth map which is then used to update the surface model based on values of geometric parameters from the reduced cost function.
