Title: Multiple sensor integration
Inventor: JOHN KEITH SHEARD
IPC: G01C21/20
Filed: 2015-01-26
Abstract: A method of compensating for signal error comprises receiving a first signal 1 from a first sensor, said first signal indicative of a movement characteristic, applying an error compensation 5 to said first signal to produce an output signal 10 and applying a variable gain factor 25 to said error compensation. A second signal 15 is received from a second sensor indicative of the same movement characteristic and the said error compensation is calculated 20 using the difference between said output signal and said second signal. The variable gain factor is calculated using said first signal. The first and second signals may be from different sensors, e.g. a gyroscope and an accelerometer, or the same sensor with different characteristics, e.g. one has lower high frequency noise, better bias or stability.

Title: Super-wide area motion estimation for video coding
Inventor: JUHA PEKKA MAANINEN
IPC: H04N19/57
Filed: 2016-12-22
Abstract: Super-wide area motion estimation can include multiple stages of motion search as part of a process for encoding or decoding frames of a video sequence. A first stage motion search includes using a first motion search window centered at a position corresponding to a position of a super index element, which indicates an area of a frame having motion 702. An area of possible motion can be determined in response to the first stage motion search to indicate a list of superblocks that are likely to include motion within the frame 704. A second stage motion search is then performed on superblocks of the list using another motion search window centered at a position corresponding to the area of possible motion 706. The list of superblocks to be searched in the second stage can he maintained in a cache to reduce memory requirements. Preferably the second search window is smaller in size than the first motion search window.
