  • Hazard detection from a camera in a scene with moving shadows
    Patent number: 9892328
    Abstract: Computerized methods are performable by a driver assistance system while the host vehicle is moving. The driver assistance system includes a camera connectible to a processor. First and second image frames are captured from the field of view of the camera. Corresponding image points of the road are tracked from the first image frame to the second image frame. Image motion between the corresponding image points of the road is processed to detect a hazard in the road. The corresponding image points are determined to be of a moving shadow cast on the road to avoid a false positive detection of a hazard in the road or the corresponding image points are determined not to be of a moving shadow cast on the road to verify detection of a hazard in the road.

  • Lighting device for inspection and inspection system
    Patent number: 9891176
    Abstract: In the inspection lighting device, between a surface light source for emitting an inspection light and the inspection object, at least one shielding mask is disposed, and a lens is disposed on a side closer to the inspection object than the shielding mask such that the shielding mask is positioned across the focus position of this lens as a center. In an irradiation solid angle of the inspection light for the inspection object formed when the light emitted from the surface light source is irradiated on to the inspection object by the lens the shielding mask forms a dark area. So that, in accordance with a change in reflection, transmission, scattering occurring at a feature point on the inspection object, a shape, a size, a tilt of the irradiation solid angle of the inspection light can be changed.

  • CAMERA EXTRINSIC PARAMETERS ESTIMATION FROM IMAGE LINES
    Publication number: 20180040141
    Abstract: The application provides a method of calibrating a camera of a vehicle. The vehicle has a reference frame. The method comprises taking an image of a scene by the camera. The ground plane of the vehicle is then determined according to features of the image. An origin point of the vehicle reference frame is later defined as being located on the determined ground plane. A translation of a reference frame of the camera is afterward determined for aligning the camera reference frame with the vehicle reference frame.

  • Systems and methods for tracking dribbling in sporting environments
    Patent number: 9886624
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for tracking a dribbling motion associated with a person engaged in either a training session for a sporting event or the live play of the sporting event. In sporting events, a dribbling motion can be associated with a repetitive movement or a short trajectory sequence between changes of direction of a ball, puck or other object used in the sporting event. The repetitive movement or short trajectory sequence used for dribbling can involve an up-and-down movement such as in basketball or a back-and-forth movement such as in soccer or hockey. The system can use one or more cameras to capture images of a person dribbling an object and at least one processor to analyze the images to determine and evaluate one or more characteristics associated with the dribbling motion.

  • LIGHT GUIDE WITH MEANS TO COMPENSATE FOR GRADUAL LOSSES OF LIGHT ALONG THE GUIDE
    Publication number: 20180031204
    Abstract: A light guide including a transparent body which is generally elongated in a principal direction with an outer facet forming a diopter with the environment of the body, a first row of inclined facets adapted to reflect the rays in order for them to exit, and at least one second row of reflecting facets of smaller size than the corresponding reflecting facets of the first row. The light reflected by the second row or rows is added to the light beam coming from the first row. The widths of the first row and the second rows can respectively and progressively increase and decrease from the light source so as to compensate the progressive losses of light traveling in the light guide.
