  • Patent number: 8818120
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for generating image information of an image of an image sequence using the image information of a first image. The object of providing a method for generating image information of an image of an image sequence so that a stroboscopic effect is avoided even in the case of varyingly fast movements of the image information and so that a clear display is still possible in the case of low speeds of the image information, is achieved in that the number of intermediate images is determined as a function of the value of the first movement measure and a weighting factor is calculated for each intermediate image.

  • Patent number: 7065241
    Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for monitoring a detection region of a working element (100). The apparatus has at least one camera for continuously monitoring the detection region, and an evaluation unit (53), into which image information generated by the camera is read. In the evaluation unit (53), a comparison of the image information to reference images, and/or a color-feature analysis, allows the detection of endangered objects within at least one protection zone in the detection region. If at least one endangered object is detected inside the protection zone, the evaluation unit (53) disables the working element (100). In contrast, if no endangered object (54) is located inside the protection zone, the evaluation unit (53) enables the working element (100).

  • Publication number: 20010041077
    Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for monitoring a detection region (6) of a working element. The apparatus has at least one camera (5) for continuously detecting the detection region (6), and an evaluation unit, into which image information generated by the camera (5) is read. In the evaluation unit, a comparison of the image information to reference images, and/or a color-feature analysis, allow(s) the detection of endangered objects within at least one protection zone (7) in the detection region (6). If at least one endangered object is detected inside the protection zone (7), the evaluation unit disables the working element. In contrast, if no endangered object is located inside the protection zone (7), the evaluation unit enables the working element.

  • Patent number: 5111418
    Abstract: A method and network configuration obtain a gradient of output signals of a network for processing discrete-time signals with respect to network parameters. The network includes a first subnetwork having only delay-free elements, being acted upon by input signals and emitting output signals, and a second subnetwork having only time-lag elements, receiving signals from the first subnetwork and feeding back the signals with a delay to the first subnetwork. Further output signals are each formed corresponding to the gradient of the output signals with respect to the network parameters.
