The present invention includes an apparatus and method for determining time-varying stress experienced by a structure comprising: obtaining images that include the structure; segmenting the second and any subsequent images to include the 'static' portions that are identified from the first image; computing with a processor the affine transformations between the first and second, and optionally subsequent images, sequence of images; estimating a deformation (i.e. translation and rotation) undergone by the structure; and converting the deformation to estimate the structural stress by using one or more scaling functions) to generate the time-varying stress experienced by the structure.

Method and apparatus to infer structural stresses with visual image and video data

The present invention includes an apparatus and method for determining cell coverage in a region with reduced in-field propagation measurements comprising: obtaining geographical features of the region; predicting the number of measurements required to accurately characterize its path loss; determining the path loss prediction accuracy of wardriving and crowdsourcing by oversampling a suburban and a downtown region from cell measurements that comprise signal strength and global positioning system coordinates; and using statistical learning to build a relationship between these geographical features and the measurements required, thereby reducing the number of measurements needed to determine path loss accuracy.

Using geographical features to reduce in-field propagation experimentation

A system and method for providing multi-dimensional context-aware adaptation in vehicular networks is disclosed. The system comprises a collection module, a context resolving module, a parameter determination module and a distribution module. The collection module collects context data describing a context in a communication environment. The context resolving module resolves the context data to a matching historical context and determines one or more historical context groups associated with the matching historical context. The parameter determination module determines a subset of operating parameters from the one or more historical context groups. The distribution module distributes the subset of operating parameters to a network stack communication module.
