Abstract: A method for controlling an agricultural installation for small and medium livestock farming includes the steps of: acquiring at least one sensor signal of a sensor device of the agricultural installation configured for measuring a process or state variable in the agricultural installation; acquiring a plurality of further sensor signals from locally in the agricultural installation or from sensor devices distributed locally in another agricultural installation, wherein the distributed sensor devices are configured to measure process or state variables; storing the acquired sensor signals as cloud data in a cloud computing device; evaluating the sensor signal with an evaluation module, wherein the evaluation module is part of a control device of the agricultural installation and/or of a cloud computing device and wherein the evaluation takes at least a portion of the stored cloud data into consideration in order to verify the sensor signal in relation to the stored cloud data.

Abstract: A method for decoding a data signal representative of at least one image cut into blocks. The method includes, for a current block to be decoded: transforming a residual data block obtained from the data signal; determining a permutation-transformation pair including a transformation mathematical operation and a permutation mathematical operation, the transformation mathematical operation and the permutation mathematical operation belonging to respectively a plurality of permutation operations and a plurality of transformation operations; applying the determined transformation mathematical operation to the data of the residual data block to produce transformed data; applying the determined permutation mathematical operation to the transformed data to produce permuted data, the determined permutation mathematical operation being an operation of transposing the transformed data; and using the permuted data to reconstruct the current block by a predictive decoding.

Abstract: A method is provided for encoding at least one image cut into blocks. The method implements, for a current block to be encoded, the acts of: predicting the current block with the aid of at least one predictor block, determining a residual data block representative of the difference between the predictor block and the current block, selecting, according to a predetermined criterion, a pair of mathematical operations including a permutation operation and a transformation operation from among a plurality of permutation operations, and a plurality of transformation operations, applying the permutation operation of said selected pair to the data of the determined residual block, applying the transformation operation of said selected pair to the permuted data, and encoding the data from said applied transformation operation.
