Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for using compressed sensing for imaging an object for use in combination with an entertainment or infotainment device. For example, the system may utilize a few—(e.g., 1, 2, 3 . . . ) pixel imaging sensor to obtain coarse image data from each of a plurality of subregions of a region of interest. Compressed sensing techniques may then be used to estimate a higher resolution image of the region of interest using the coarse image data from the plurality of subregions.

Abstract: Described embodiments include a system and method. A computer-implemented method includes receiving electronic data indicative of at least two incremental movements of a vehicle moving over a stochastic surface during a period of time proximate to an event. The electronic data is responsive to a correlation vector between a feature of the stochastic surface in a first digital image captured at a first time by a first digital imaging device carried by the vehicle and the feature of the stochastic surface in a second digital image captured at a subsequent second time by a second digital imaging device carried by the vehicle. The method includes determining in response to the received electronic data a behavior of the vehicle during the period of time proximate to the event. The method includes electronically outputting data indicative of the determined behavior of the vehicle during the period of time proximate to the event.
