Abstract: A detection apparatus (10) of floating bodies (5) on sea is described; the apparatus comprises at least one thermal sensor (2) configured to receive a thermal signal (Sacq) of at least one sea area of interest (4), data processing means (3) adapted to process the signal emitted by said thermal sensor to detect whether or not there is a floating body in said area of interest depending on the temperature difference between the body and the sea water, and a device (1) adapted to emit a pulsed laser beam to illuminate said area of interest to increase the temperature difference between the floating body and the sea water.

Abstract: A method for recognition between a first and second object represented by at least one first image and at least one second image, includes defining rectangular assemblies of random pixels; filtering the first image with first n filters obtained from the assemblies of pixels to obtain n first filtered matrices; classifying the n first filtered matrices by providing a first center and a first radius within a space of N dimensions; filtering the second image with the first n filters to obtain n second filtered matrices; classifying the n second filtered matrices by providing a second center within the space of N dimensions; and comparing the first center and first radius with the second center.

Abstract: A method for determining the three-dimensional surface of an object comprises the phases of: defining (1) the coordinates of a plurality of points of said object; defining (2) a three-dimensional matrix of cells that contains said object to which a value can be associated; determining (3) the distance between each centre of said cells of said three-dimensional matrix of cells and the closest point of said plurality of points of said object; setting (4) the value of several cells of said three-dimensional matrix of cells at a first preset value; determining (7) the value that each cell of said three-dimensional matrix of cells assumes, with the exception of said several cells, by means of the following formula F ? ( x _ i , t + 1 ) = F ? ( x _ i , t ) · v i + w · ? j ? F ? ( x _ j , t ) · v j v i + w · ? j ? v j where xi represents the coordinates of the centre of the i_th cell, F( xi, t) represents the value of the i_th cell at time t, vi
