  • Patent number: 9528277
    Abstract: A prefabricated element or floors or floor baseboards is described that includes a rigid base having an upper surface and two opposed longitudinal lateral surfaces, the upper surface and lateral surfaces being covered by a layer made of vinyl fabric. A modular floor tile is also described that includes a plurality of the prefabricated elements mounted on a rigid support. The invention enables an outdoor decorated wood flooring with no need of maintenance to be realized.

  • Patent number: 8467597
    Abstract: A segmentation method for segmenting a plurality of duplicate articles (3) involves acquiring an image (M) of a sample article (30); calculating keypoint-descriptors of the image (M); defining an identifying figure (Z); acquiring a first image (I1) of a plurality of duplicate articles; matching keypoint-descriptor pairs; acquiring a position and an orientation of the identifying figure (Z) with respect to a first keypoint-descriptor pair having a match with a second keypoint-descriptor pair; defining an identifying figure; applying the two preceding stages to a plurality of keypoint-descriptor pairs; collecting together identifying figures of projection having a predetermined degree of superposing; defining a representative figure formed by a minimum predetermined number of identifying figures of projection, which has a same shape and dimension as an identifying figure of projection, and is selected to estimate a position of a corresponding article illustrated in the first image of a plurality of duplicate ar

  • Publication number: 20100284608
    Abstract: The invention relates to a segmentation method based on the characteristics for segmenting a plurality of duplicate articles (3) arranged loosely, which comprises stages of: acquiring an image (M) of a sample article (30); calculating keypoint-descriptors of the image (M); defining an identifying figure (Z) on the image (M); acquiring a first image (I1) of a plurality of duplicate articles; performing a matching of the thus-defined keypoint-descriptor pairs; acquiring a position and an orientation of the identifying figure (Z) with respect to a first keypoint-descriptor pair of the image (M) having a match with a second keypoint-descriptor pair of the first image (I1); defining, in the first image (I1), an identifying figure of projection as a Euclidean transformation of the identifying figure (Z), with reference to the first and second pairs; applying the two preceding stages to a plurality of keypoint-descriptor pairs of the image (M) having a match with a keypoint-descriptor pair of the first image (I1); c
