  • Patent number: 11263468
    Abstract: An electronic device for monitoring a scene via a set of sensor(s) includes an acquisition module, of at least one representation of the scene via the sensor set, and a module for converting each representation into a respective occupancy grid. Each grid includes several zones, each corresponding to a respective portion of the representation, and each zone being in an occupied state if said portion contains an object and in an unoccupied state otherwise. The device also includes a module for calculating a differential grid corresponding to a difference between a current occupancy grid and a reference occupancy grid, by ignoring each zone of the reference grid which is in the occupied state and for which the corresponding zone of the current grid is in the unoccupied state, and a module for detecting a change in the scene, starting from the differential grid.

  • Patent number: 10885778
    Abstract: A monitoring system includes a sensor system for capturing at a capture instant, information relating to moving objects moving in a roadway infrastructure portion, and a control station comprising a display for displaying at a display instant subsequent to the capture instant, a view of the roadway infrastructure portion on which is visible an image of each moving object. The monitoring system also includes at least one computer for deriving captured information of a measured position and speed of each moving object at the capture instant, and another computer for deducing the measured position and speed at an estimated position of each moving object at the display instant. The display is configured to display in the view of the road infrastructure portion a virtual image of each moving object at its estimated position.

  • Publication number: 20200219242
    Abstract: An electronic monitoring device for monitoring a scene around a motor vehicle can be installed on the motor vehicle or along a public road network. It is capable of being connected to a primary sensor and to at least one secondary sensor. The primary sensor is an image sensor and each secondary sensor is distinct and separate from the primary sensor. The device includes a first acquisition module for acquiring at least one image of the scene from the primary sensor, and a second acquisition module for acquiring a set of one or more measurement point(s) relating to the scene from the at least one secondary sensor. A computation module computes an enriched image of the scene by superimposing a representation of an additional information item dependent on the set of one or more point(s) on to the acquired image. A transmission module transmits the enriched image to remote equipment.
