Patent number: 9406150Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide an encoder for encoding data defining coded orientations representing a reorientation of an object based on spatio-temporal data representing a time series of orientations of the object. The encoder includes a deriver, a selector, and a coder. The deriver is configured for deriving a plurality of components describing an orientation change difference between a last coded orientation change from a second last coded orientation to a last coded orientation, and a current orientation change from the last coded orientation to a current orientation of the object. The selector is configured for selecting a component of the plurality of components describing the orientation change difference. The coder is configured for coding the current orientation of the object based on the select component of the plurality of components describing the orientation change difference, thereby defining a current coded orientation.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2011Date of Patent: August 2, 2016Assignee: Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Foerderung der angewandten Forschung e.V.Inventors: Thorsten Edelhaeusser, Hans Holm Fruehauf

Patent number: 9384387Abstract: Encoder for encoding data defining coded positions representing a trajectory of an object based on spatio-temporal data representing a time series of positions of the object. The encoder comprises a deriver, a selector, and a coder. The deriver is configured for deriving a plurality of components of a motion vector difference between a last coded motion coded vector pointing from a second last coded position to a last coded position and a current motion vector pointing from the last coded position to a current position of the object. The selector is configured for selecting a component of the plurality of components of the motion vector difference. The coder is configured for coding the current motion vector based on the selected component of the motion vector difference to obtain a current coded motion vector, thereby defining a current coded position.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2011Date of Patent: July 5, 2016Assignee: Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Foerderung der angewandten Forschung e.V.Inventors: Thorsten Edelhaeusser, Hans Holm Fruehauf, Michael Philippsen, Gabriella Kókai, Joerg Nielson

Patent number: 8791860Abstract: Apparatus for determining an estimated value for a location of a receiving element within a reference system which may receive signals of a signal source movable to different measuring positions, it being possible to measure—on the basis of the signals received—localization data which indicate a relative location of the receiving element with respect to the movable signal source, the apparatus being configured to determine the estimated value on the basis of at least two different measuring positions and localization data corresponding thereto by means of an evolutionary algorithm. On the basis of the localization data measured, a fitness function of the evolutionary algorithm is formed, the localization data having an angle of arrival of the received signals on the receiving element, and/or a signal arrival time from which a distance from the signal source may be determined.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2011Date of Patent: July 29, 2014Assignee: Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Foerderung der Angewandten Forschung E.V.Inventors: Thorsten Edelhaeusser, Joerg Nilson, Hans Holm Fruehauf

Patent number: 8379056Abstract: A device for providing a video signal of a virtual image based on a real image of a camera, the real image having an object, includes a processing device. One piece of positional information each is associated with the camera and the object. The processing device generates the video signal of the virtual image based on the real image, the positional information of the camera and the positional information of the object. The virtual image includes an illustration of the object or object information with regard to the object.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2009Date of Patent: February 19, 2013Assignee: Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Foerderung der Angewandten Forschung e.V.Inventors: Hans Holm Fruehauf, Sandor Nagy

Publication number: 20090304374Abstract: A device for tracking a moving object comprises a receiver, an evaluation unit, a camera and a control unit. The receiver is implemented to receive a signal transmitted by a mobile transmitter which is located at the moving object and follows movements of the object. The evaluation unit determines position data of the moving object from the received signal. The control unit aligns the camera to the moving object based on the determined position data.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 19, 2009Publication date: December 10, 2009Applicant: Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft Zur Foerderung der angewandten Forschung e.V.Inventors: Hans Holm FRUEHAUF, Thorsten EDELHAEUSSER, Dietmar WEISL
