    摘要: An apparatus, method and program for receiving a coded light signal comprising a periodically repeating message repeating with a message period. A portion of the message is received in each of a plurality of frames captured by a rolling-shutter camera, with different portions being received in different frames. Using each of a discrete group of trial values of the message period, the respective trial value is used to reconstruct a respective first version of the message from the portions received in a first subset of said frames, and to reconstruct a respective second version of the message from the portions received in a second subset of said frames. For each of the trial values, there is generate a respective value of a measure of similarity between the respective reconstructed first and second versions of the message. An estimate of the message period is determined based on this.

    摘要: A method comprising: A) using a mobile device's camera to capture a first image; B) by reference to a first illumination source appearing in the first image, determining first heading information of the mobile device; C) as the mobile device moves to a second location, using one or more inertial sensors of the mobile device to extrapolate a plurality of extrapolated first candidate locations and respective first candidate headings of the mobile device; D) at the second location, using the camera to capture a second image; E) by reference to a second illumination source appearing in the second captured image, determining a plurality of second candidate locations and respective second candidate headings of the mobile device; and F) based on a comparison of the extrapolated first candidate locations and headings with the second candidate locations and headings, determining at least one estimated location and respective heading of the mobile device.
