    Abstract: A method includes obtaining channel information, range information, and angle of arrival (AoA) information based on wireless signals communicated between an electronic device and an external electronic device. The method also includes generating an initial prediction of a presence of the external electronic device relative to a field of view (FoV) of the electronic device based on the channel information and at least one of the range information or the AoA information. The initial prediction includes an indication of whether the external electronic device is within the FoV or outside the FoV of the electronic device. The method further includes performing, using a tracking filter, a smoothing operation on the range information and the AoA information. Additionally, the method includes determining that the external electronic device is within the FoV of the electronic device based on the AoA information, the smoothed AoA information, and the initial prediction.

    Abstract: A decoding device, an encoding device and methods for point cloud encoding and decoding are disclosed. The method for decoding includes decoding an attribute frame, a geometry frame, and occupancy map frame from a received bitstream. The attribute and geometry frames include pixels representing points of a 3D point cloud and the occupancy map frame includes values. The method also includes generating a binary occupancy map frame based on comparing the values in the occupancy map frame to a scaling threshold to determine whether the pixels included in the attribute and geometry frames at corresponding positions in the binary occupancy map frame are valid pixels. The method further includes generating the 3D point cloud using the attribute frame, the geometry frame, and the binary occupancy map frame.

    Abstract: A decoding device, an encoding device and a method for point cloud decoding is disclosed. The method includes receiving a bitstream. The method also includes decoding, from the compressed bitstream, a first frame, a second frame, and an occupancy map frame. The first and the second frame include pixels representing points of a 3D point cloud at different depths. The occupancy map frame indicates whether the pixels included in the first frame and the second frame at that position in the occupancy map frame are valid pixels and whether points of the 3D point cloud are positioned between the first frame and the second frame at that position in the occupancy map frame. The method further includes generating the 3D point cloud using the first frame, the second frame, and the occupancy map frame.

    Abstract: A method for estimating a position of a moving object comprises: storing one or more reference position estimates for the moving object in a first buffer; storing step information in a second buffer, the step information including one or more step sizes and one or more step headings; receiving a motion event signal indicating the moving object moves continuously with a bounded direction; correcting the step information based on the one or more reference position estimates in response to receiving the motion event signal; and estimating the position of the moving object using the corrected step information.

    Abstract: An electronic device includes a Lidar sensor, a radar sensor, and a processor. The processor is configured to identify one or more objects from Lidar scans. The processor is configured to transmit, via the radar sensor, radar signals for object detection based on reflections of the radar signals received by the radar sensor. While the electronic device travels the area, the processor is configured to generate a first map indicating one or more objects within an area based on the Lidar scans and a second map based on the radar signals. The processor is configured to determine whether the second map indicates a missed object at the portion of the first map that is unoccupied. In response to a determination that the second map indicates the missed object, the processor is configured to modify the first map with the missed object.

    Abstract: A method for estimating a position of an object comprises: receiving a motion event signal indicating a motion type of the object, the motion type being determined based on sensing data provided by one or more sensors; receiving one or more ranging measurements for distances between the object and one or more anchor points from a ranging device; determining a mode among a plurality of positioning modes based on the motion event and the one or more ranging measurements; and estimating a position of the object using the determined mode.

    Abstract: A method includes obtaining signal information based on wireless signals received from a target electronic device via a first antenna pair and a second antenna pair. The first and second antenna pairs are aligned along different axes. The signal information includes channel information, range information, a first angle of arrival (AoA) based on the first antenna pair, and a second AoA based on the second antenna pair. The method also includes obtaining tagging information that identifies an environment in which the electronic device is located. The method also includes generating encoded information from a memory module based on the tagging information. The method further includes initializing a field of view (FoV) classifier based on the encoded information. Additionally, the method includes determining whether the target electronic device is in a FoV of the electronic device based on the FoV classifier operating on the signal information.
