Wireless messages in 5G and 6G include error-detection codes appended or embedded in the message, such as Polar, LDPC, Turbo, and CRC codes. Analog fault tests based on the waveform signal of each message element can enhance the fault localization and mitigation, in many cases. Unexpected amplitude or phase variations, ambiguous modulation values, and polarization irregularities in or between message elements can localize the likely faulted message element(s). Turbo, Polar, and certain LDPC versions employ soft-decision decoding natively, and therefore can include the waveform results as extrinsic information. Other codes, such as basic parity, CRC, and basic LDPC, use hard-decision processes, but when combined with waveform diagnostics, can localize and mitigate faults. In life-threatening situations, rapid mitigation of a faulted message may save lives. The error-detection code, combined with waveform data, can rescue faulted messages in real-time, thereby improving latency, efficiency, and reliability of wireless communications.

Vectorization of an image begins by receiving a two-dimensional rasterized image and returning a descriptor for each pixel in the image. Corner detection returns coordinates for all corners in the image. The descriptors are filtered using the corner positions to produce corner descriptors for the corner positions.
