Systems and methods are described to supply positioning reference signal (PRS) in a telecommunication system. A base station supplies a PRS sequence according at least to a time-frequency pattern of modulation symbols, wherein the time-frequency pattern assigns a modulation symbol to each frequency tone in a block of time-frequency resources allocated to transmit PRS. The base station associates a modulation symbol in the time-frequency pattern with a reference symbol in the PRS sequence through a mapping that represents the time-frequency pattern. The PRS sequence is conveyed to user equipment through delivery of a set of modulation symbols established through the mapping. Different time-frequency patterns can be exploited based on time-structure of a radio sub-frame. The user equipment receives the PRS sequence according to at least the time-frequency pattern of modulation symbols and utilizes at least the PRS sequence as part of a process to produce a location estimate.

Methods for using a detector to monitor and detect channel occupancy are disclosed. The detector resides on a station within a network using a framed format having a periodic time structure. When non-cooperative transmissions are detected by the network, the detector assesses the availability of a backup channel enabling migration of the network. The backup channel serves to allow the network to migrate transparently when the current channel becomes unavailable. The backup channel, however, could be occupied by another network that results in the migrating network interfering with the network already using the backup channel. Thus, the detector detects active transmission sources on the backup channel to determine whether the backup channel is occupied. Methods for using the detector include scheduling detection intervals asynchronously. The asynchronous detection uses offsets from a reference point within a frame.

Methods for interactive selecting video queries consisting of training images from a video for a video similarity search and for displaying the results of the similarity search are disclosed. The user selects a time interval in the video as a query definition of training images for training an image class statistical model. Time intervals can be as short as one frame or consist of disjoint segments or shots. A statistical model of the image class defined by the training images is calculated on-the-fly from feature vectors extracted from transforms of the training images. For each frame in the video, a feature vector is extracted from the transform of the frame, and a similarity measure is calculated using the feature vector and the image class statistical model. The similarity measure is derived from the likelihood of a Gaussian model producing the frame. The similarity is then presented graphically, which allows the time structure of the video to be visualized and browsed. Similarity can be rapidly calculated for other video files as well, which enables content-based retrieval by example. A content-aware video browser featuring interactive similarity measurement is presented. A method for selecting training segments involves mouse click-and-drag operations over a time bar representing the duration of the video; similarity results are displayed as shades in the time bar. Another method involves selecting periodic frames of the video as endpoints for the training segment.

Several methods for determining the near-surface layer velocity in the earth (can include the weathering layer velocity) from exploration seismic 2D or 3D data are presented. These velocity measurements are to be used in time-correcting seismic data during data processing in refraction statics, datum statics, elevation statics derivation and application or any other data processing scheme wherein the near-surface velocity is required. They can also be used as the near-surface velocity model for depth-migration of seismic data. The velocity of the near-surface is directly related to the character of the shot records themselves. By statistically measuring this character from the shot records in an automated fashion, a large amount of data can be processed and the character measurement numerically converted to a velocity measurement using benchmark velocities. A complete near-surface velocity field for the seismic survey can be created in this way and used to correct for false time-structure in seismic datasets used for hydrocarbon exploration or any other sub-surface exploration purposes.

The system comprises a FTS estimator / analyzer and a current navigator. An embodiment of the method comprises analyzing the incoming sounds within a time frequency band, extracting the slowly varying frequency components and estimating the FTS to obtain a more precise dominant FTS component within a frequency band.

This process is simultaneously repeated for each stimulation channel and each FTS component.

The coding efficiency of an audio codec using a controllable—switchable or even adjustable—harmonic filter tool is improved by performing the harmonicity-dependent controlling of this tool using a temporal structure measure in addition to a measure of harmonicity in order to control the harmonic filter tool. In particular, the temporal structure of the audio signal is evaluated in a manner which depends on the pitch. This enables to achieve a situation-adapted control of the harmonic filter tool so that in situations where a control made solely based on the measure of harmonicity would decide against or reduce the usage of this tool, although using the harmonic filter tool would, in that situation, increase the coding efficiency, the harmonic filter tool is applied, while in other situations where the harmonic filter tool may be inefficient or even destructive, the control reduces the appliance of the harmonic filter tool appropriately.

What is disclosed is a system and method for real-time enhancement of an identified time-series signal of interest in a video that has a similar spatial and temporal structure to a given reference signal, as determined by a measure of closeness.

The modified pixel intensity values are provided back into the source video to generate a reconstructed video such that, upon playback of the reconstructed video, viewers thereof can visually examine the amplified time-series signal, see how it is distributed and how it propagates. The methods disclosed find their uses in remote sensing applications such as telemedicine.
