  • Adaptive artificial vision method and system
    Patent number: 7477759
    Abstract: The adaptive artificial vision method comprises the following steps: (a) defining successive couples of timesteps (t?1, t; t, t+1; . . . ) synchronized by a clock (101), (b) comparing two successive images (It?, It; It, It+1, . . . ) from an input device (102, 103) at each couple of synchronized timesteps (t?1, t; t, t+1; . . . ) spaced by a predetermined time delay ?0 for obtaining a delta image ?t which is the result of the computation of the distance between each pixel of the two successive images (It?1, It; It, It+1, . . .

  • Adaptive artificial vision method and system
    Publication number: 20040071347
    Abstract: The adaptive artificial vision method comprises the following steps: (a) defining successive couples of timesteps (t−1, t; t, t+1; . . . ) synchronized by a clock (101), (b) comparing two successive images (It−, It; It, It+1, . . . ) from an input device (102, 103) at each couple of synchronized timesteps (t−1, t; t, t+1; . . . ) spaced by a predetermined time delay &tgr;0 for obtaining a delta image &Dgr;t which is the result of the computation of the distance between each pixel of the two successive images (It−1, It; It, It+1, . . .
