  • Focusing system for a telecentric optical measuring machine
    Patent number: 10126540
    Abstract: A method of focusing a telecentric imaging system (30), particularly as a part of a measuring machine (10) includes measuring an image of a feature (25) of an object (24) through the telecentric imaging system (30) in a telecentric operating mode and measuring an image of the feature (25) of the object (24) through the telecentric imaging system (30) in a non-telecentric operating mode. A value is acquired characterizing a function by which the size of the imaged feature varies in the non-telecentric mode with the relative displacement of the object (24) through the depth of field (D). The measures of the image of the feature (25) of the object (24) in the telecentric and non-telecentric modes are related to each other and to the acquired value as an estimate of a relative displacement of the object (24) from the best focus position.

  • Building night vision and other driver assistance systems (DAS) using near infra-red (NIR) illumination and a rolling shutter
    Patent number: 10129465
    Abstract: A system mountable in a motor vehicle. The system includes a camera and a processor configured to receive image data from the camera. The camera includes a rolling shutter configured to capture the image data during a frame period and to scan and to read the image data into multiple image frames. A near infra-red illuminator may be configured to provide a near infra-red illumination cone in the field of view of the camera. The near infra-red illumination oscillates with an illumination period. A synchronization mechanism may be configured to synchronize the illumination period to the frame period of the rolling shutter. The frame period may be selected so that the synchronization mechanism provides a spatial profile of the near infra-red illumination cone which may be substantially aligned vertically to a specific region, e.g. near the center of the image frame.

  • Safety system for a vehicle to detect and warn of a potential collision
    Patent number: 10127464
    Abstract: A system mountable in a vehicle to provide object detection in the vicinity of the vehicle. The system includes a camera operatively attached to a processor. The camera is mounted externally at the rear of the vehicle. The field of view of the camera is substantially in the forward direction of travel of the vehicle along the side of the vehicle. Multiple image frames are captured from the camera. Yaw of the vehicle may be input or the yaw may be computed from the image frames. Respective portions of the image frames are selected responsive to the yaw of the vehicle. The image frames are processed to detect thereby an object in the selected portions of the image frames.

  • VIDEO IMAGING AN AREA OF INTEREST USING NETWORKED CAMERAS
    Publication number: 20180324410
    Abstract: The systems, methods, and/or computer-readable media described herein allow a reviewer to review video content of multiple perspectives of area(s) of interest at a specific time using a system of networked and time-synchronized video cameras. The networked and time-synchronized video cameras may comprise dedicated video cameras or may be coupled to mobile phones or tablet computing devices, and/or those incorporated in action housings. The networked and time-synchronized video cameras may capture multiple perspectives of area(s) of interest in that they may be arranged so that their fields of view are directed toward different orientations with respect to the area(s) of interest.

  • Lighting device for a motor vehicle, incorporating means for protection against electrostatic discharges
    Patent number: 10119677
    Abstract: The invention proposes a lighting device for a motor vehicle. Such a device includes one or more electronic circuits incorporating electronic components sensitive to an electrostatic discharge. Thanks to the features of the invention, the components are protected by encouraging the controlled flow to ground of any electrostatic discharges. All portions of one or more electronic circuits can therefore be protected by preventing random electrostatic discharges liable to destroy or to degrade sensitive electronic components.
