Abstract: The present invention provides an optical sensor supporting structure for a saddled vehicle capable of accurately detecting a front of the vehicle by an optical sensor without affecting usability of accessories at a front portion of the vehicle. The optical sensor supporting structure for a saddled vehicle includes left and right cameras which are configured to detect an object in front of the vehicle, and a support stay which is fixed to a head pipe of a vehicle body frame and supports accessories at the front of the vehicle on the head pipe, wherein the left and right cameras are supported by the support stay.

Abstract: The present invention presents a sensing system 1 and a corresponding method for detecting moving objects 11 in the surroundings of a vehicle 10. The sensing system 1 comprises an imaging unit 2 for obtaining an image stream 2a, a computing unit 3 for analyzing the image stream 2a, and a control unit 4 for controlling the vehicle 10 based on the analysis result of the computing unit 3. The sensing system 1 particularly employs a background-model-free estimation. The sensing system 1 is configured to perform a local analysis of two neighboring motion vectors 6, which are computed from points 7a in images 5a, 5b of the image stream 2a, and to determine, whether the points 7a corresponding to these motion vectors 6 belong to a particularly moving object.

Abstract: The invention provides an image processing method for processing a sequence of images, comprising the steps of: obtaining, from a visual sensor, at least two images of the sequence of images, detecting whether the images include a distortion, determining an image warping function at least partially compensating the distortion, applying the determined warping function to the image(s) including the distortion, and calculating by a processing unit, and outputting, an optical flow as a displacement vector field form the images.

Abstract: To improve a cropping system by obtaining coverage of a wide range of contents for smaller sized displays of handheld devices, a method starts from a metadata aggregation and corresponding video, e.g. in post-production, program exchange and archiving, wherein (a) video is passed to a video analysis to deliver video, e.g. by use of motion detection, morphology filters, edge detection, etc.
