Abstract: A head-counter device (100) comprising a digital camera (1) adapted to provide a first digital image (IM1) representative of a counting zone (STR) of persons, the first image defining a first horizontal dimension (N) and a first vertical dimension (M), and a cropping module (7) configured for: analyzing the first image (IM1) and identifying a noise area (PCR) according to at least one of the following features: pixel light intensity, pixel color and/or presence of predefined patterns, cropping the noise area (PCR) from the first image (IM1) to obtain a second image (IM2) without the noise area, the noise area (PCR) being a peripheral portion of the first image having said first horizontal dimension and having a second vertical dimension (M?DSK+SM) shorter than the first vertical dimension.

Abstract: A system (1) for acknowledging a user among a plurality of users in an environment, includes: a movable device (2) configured to be by users in the environment, configured to command a stationary device (3), wherein movable device (2) comprises: one or more motion sensors (13) to detect movements imparted by the user to the movable device (2) and to provide signals representative of the same; a microphone (15) to detect the sound of the environment and to provide a signal representative of the same; a motion acknowledging module (16); a vocal acknowledging module (17); and a pairing module (20).

Abstract: A system (1) and method estimates the driving style of a vehicle. The system includes; a device for measuring the longitudinal acceleration (ax) and lateral acceleration (ay) of a vehicle along a measuring path; a memory module (7) in which pairs of the admissible limit values of the longitudinal and lateral accelerations are stored. Such values implement an admissible acceleration curve, closed in a longitudinal acceleration-lateral acceleration plane; an elaboration module (6) configured for: associating to each measured longitudinal acceleration-lateral acceleration pair of the vehicle a corresponding longitudinal acceleration-lateral acceleration pair on said admissible acceleration curve; and providing an indication of the driving style on the basis of the trend of position of the measured longitudinal acceleration-lateral acceleration pair with respect to the corresponding longitudinal acceleration-lateral acceleration pair on the admissible acceleration curve along the measuring path.
