20140049644 | SENSING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING MOVING OBJECTS - The present invention presents a sensing system | 02-20-2014 |
20140198955 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DISTORTED CAMERA IMAGE CORRECTION - The invention provides an image processing method for processing a sequence of images, comprising the steps of: obtaining, from a visual sensor, at least two images of the sequence of images, detecting whether the images include a distortion, determining an image warping function at least partially compensating the distortion, applying the determined warping function to the image(s) including the distortion, and calculating by a processing unit, and outputting, an optical flow as a displacement vector field form the images. | 07-17-2014 |
20150025789 | TECHNIQUE FOR LANE ASSIGNMENT IN A VEHICLE - A technique for assigning lanes on a road to objects moving in a vicinity of a vehicle on the road is proposed. A method embodiment of the invention comprises the steps of providing trajectories, wherein the or each trajectory represents a time sequence of positions of a moving object; selecting first and second objects and determining a distance between a current position of the first object and the trajectory of the second object; comparing the distance with a predefined threshold; and providing, based on a result of the comparison, a lane assignment indicating a lane to which the second object is assigned. | 01-22-2015 |
20150128547 | LAWN MOWER WITH REMOTE CONTROL - The invention proposes an autonomous robot, such as an autonomous lawn mower, comprises at least one camera for obtaining at least one input image, a communication interface for transmitting the input image and receiving a remote control instruction, a control unit for controlling an operation of the autonomous robot, and wherein the control unit is adapted to control the operation at the autonomous robot in response to the received remote control instruction. | 05-14-2015 |
20150138339 | CONTROL SYSTEM FOR AN AUTONOMOUS GARDEN TOOL, METHOD AND APPARATUS - The invention relates to a control system for an autonomous garden tool that is equipped with at least one camera and one motor. The control system comprises a camera control module and an image generation module. With the camera control module the camera settings are controlled that are used for capturing images. With the image generation module two consecutive images in a sequence of images that is captured by the camera is determined whereby theses two consecutive images are captured on the basis of different camera settings. The two determined pictures are used as a basis for generating an HDR image in an HDR mode of the control system. | 05-21-2015 |
20150198952 | SENSOR CLEANING SYSTEM FOR AN AUTONOMOUS ROBOT DEVICE, BASE STATION AND CORRESPONDING METHOD - The inventive system comprises an autonomous robot device, a base station and a method operating the same. The autonomous robot device includes a sensor means, e.g. an optical sensor, and a propulsion means. The base station includes a cleaning means specifically adapted for cleaning the sensor means of the autonomous robot device. In a preferred embodiment the propulsion means of the autonomous robot device is configured to move the autonomous robot device in a manner suitable to generate a relative movement of the autonomous robot device with respect to the passive cleaning means arranged at the stationary base station to effect the cleaning of the sensor means of the autonomous robot device. | 07-16-2015 |
20150199818 | METHOD FOR ANALYZING RELATED IMAGES, IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM, VEHICLE COMPRISING SUCH SYSTEM AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT - A method for analyzing related images corresponding system and vehicle including such system as well as a computer program product for executing the method. The method comprises obtaining at least a first and a second image, defining a pixel patch in the first image for which a correlation shall be calculated, calculating matching cost values between each pixel of the pixel patch in the first image and its corresponding pixel in each of a plurality of pixel patches in the second image, wherein the pixel patches in the second image differ in position in the second image and include the pixel patch with a target position, aggregating the matching cost values of those corresponding pixels of all patches in the second image which match best to generate an aggregation window associated with the target position, and producing a signal including information on the target position. | 07-16-2015 |
