Techniques for determining a position of a mobile device using visible light communication signals are provided. An example device includes memory and a processor configured to in response to a determination that at least one first image of a plurality of images stored in the memory is of a modulated light signal transmitted by a light source and comprising coded information, determine a spatial location of a reference point of the light source based on the coded information, in response to a determination that at least one second image of the plurality of images is of an unmodulated light signal emanating from the light source, determine an image location of the reference point of the light source in the at least one second image, and determine a position of the mobile wireless communication device based on the image location of the reference point and the spatial location of the reference point.

Positioning with interleaved VLC signals

Disclosed are methods, systems, devices, apparatus, computer-/processor-readable media, and other implementations, including a method to decode a visible light communication (VLC) signal by capturing images of a light source emitting a light modulated signal comprising a temporal sequence of symbols to determine decoded symbols and to further determine at least one codeword from a list of candidate codewords.

Coherent decoding of visible light communication (VLC) signals

At least a method and a system are described for providing frame rate upconversion by way of using 'short side' or bidirectional interpolation in generating interpolated frames. In a representative embodiment, the method may comprise receiving a first frame of video corresponding to a first frame time and a second frame of the video corresponding to a second frame time, computing a first absolute difference between the first frame time and an interpolated frame time wherein the interpolated frame time temporally is located between the first frame time and the second frame time. The method further comprises using a first motion vector field and the first frame to compute a third frame at the interpolated frame time. The method further comprises outputting the third frame as the interpolated frame at the interpolated frame time if the first absolute difference is less than or equal to a first threshold value.
