    Abstract: Methods and systems for cross-validating sensor data are described. An example method involves receiving image data and first timing information associated with the image data, and receiving sensor data and second timing information associated with the sensor data. The method further involves determining a first estimation of motion of the mobile device based on the image data and the first timing information, and determining a second estimation of the motion of the mobile device based on the sensor data and the second timing information. Additionally, the method involves determining whether the first estimation is within a threshold variance of the second estimation. The method then involves providing an output indicative of a validity of the first timing information and the second timing information based on whether the first estimation is within the threshold variance of the second estimation.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for communicating sensor data on a mobile device are described. An example method involves receiving, by a processor and from an inertial measurement unit (IMU), sensor data corresponding to a first timeframe, and storing the sensor data using a data buffer. The processor may also receive image data and sensor data corresponding to a second timeframe. The processor may then generate a digital image that includes at least the image data corresponding to the second timeframe and the sensor data corresponding to the first timeframe and the second timeframe. The processor may embed the stored sensor data corresponding to the first timeframe and the second timeframe in pixels of the digital image. And the processor may provide the digital image to an application processor of the mobile device.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for acquiring sensor data using multiple acquisition modes are described. An example method involves receiving, by a co-processor and from an application processor, a request for sensor data. The request identifies at least two sensors of a plurality of sensors for which data is requested. The at least two sensors are configured to acquire sensor data in a plurality of acquisition modes, and the request further identifies for the at least two sensors respective acquisition modes for acquiring data that are selected from among the plurality of acquisition modes. In response to receiving the request, the co-processor causes the at least two sensors to acquire data in the respective acquisition modes. The co-processor receives first sensor data from a first sensor and second sensor data from a second sensor, and the co-processor provides the first sensor data and the second sensor data to the application processor.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for detecting frame tears are described. As one example, a mobile device may include at least one camera, a sensor, a co-processor, and an application processor. The co-processor is configured to generate a digital image including image data from the at least one camera and sensor data from the sensor. The co-processor is further configured to embed a frame identifier corresponding to the digital image at least two corner pixels of the digital image. The application processor is configured to receive the digital image from the co-processor, determine a first value embedded in a first corner pixel of the digital image, and determined a second value embedded in a second corner pixel of the digital image. The application processor is also configured to provide an output indicative of a validity of the digital image based on a comparison between the first value and the second value.
