Abstract: A method for detecting a pattern in an image comprising a grid of data elements processes each data element in a predetermined order. In processing one of the data elements, the following steps are carried out. It is checked (100) whether a predetermined local feature is present at the data element to generate information about the local feature if it is present. A propagation direction (42) is associated with the generated information, where the propagation direction is chosen such that data elements along the propagation direction still have to be processed. The generated information, as well as the information propagated to the data element, are propagated (110) to respective data elements closest to the data element along the respective propagation directions associated with the respective information. It is checked (104) whether a predetermined pattern is present which includes a plurality of features (32) based on information propagated to the data element about local features established elsewhere in the image, and if found, information about the pattern is outputted (108).

Abstract: Binary Offset Carrier (BOC) is the agreed modulation for signals of next generation Global Navigation satellite systems (GNSS). Compared to current phase shift keying (PSK) modulation by a code, there is a further modulation by a sub-carrier. There is a known major difficulty with BOC called ‘false lock’ where early/late gates settle on the wrong peak of the multi-peaked correlation function. This invention eliminates the problem by eliminating that correlation. Instead, a two dimensional correlation is tracked independently to realize a dual estimate. An unambiguous lower accuracy estimate derived from the code phase is used to make an integer correction to a higher accuracy but ambiguous independent estimate based on the sub-carrier phase. The actual receiver may adopt a triple loop, instead of the usual double loop, where carrier phase, sub-carrier phase and code phase are tracked independently but interactively.
