The present disclosure relates to apparatus () for estimating depth of scene, comprising plurality of sensors () including Time of Flight (ToF) sensors and stereo sensors pairs, memory () and one or more processors (). At least one pair of stereo sensors is placed perpendicular to other pairs of stereo sensors. One or more processors () are configured to determine disparity for plurality of sensors () based on comparison between one or more features of each image with other images received from plurality of pairs of stereo sensors, and evaluation of each image based on one or more pre-defined cost function parameters; determine disparity based on depth information received from ToF sensors; determine confidence value for each of plurality of sensors (), based on disparity, to generate plurality of confidence values and estimate depth of scene based on disparity associated with a sensor selected based on plurality of confidence values.

Apparatus and a method for estimating depth of a scene

A method, computer program, and computer system of a base station is provided for determining a location of a mobile device by receiving data from a mobile device associated with a location of the mobile device and generating a world model database corresponding to a physical location of the base station. The received data is constrained based on the generated world model database, and an updated location of the mobile device is determined based on the constrained data.

Federated system for mobile device localization

A front camera module includes a camera and a substrate, and the camera is mounted on one surface (camera mounting surface) of the substrate. A rear camera module includes a camera and a substrate, and the camera is mounted on one surface (camera mounting surface) of the substrate. An IC mounting surface of the substrate of the front camera module and an IC mounting surface of the substrate of the rear camera module are opposed to each other in a front-and-rear direction. The camera of the rear camera module is oriented in a direction opposite to the camera of the front camera module. Moreover, a camera assembly includes a cooling fan configured to send air to a region between the two substrates. With this structure, temperature of the camera modules is prevented from exceeding an allowable operation temperature that has been defined in advance.
