  • Patent number: 10999517
    Abstract: A method for capturing aerial images is carried out using a geographical area using a self-piloted aircraft according to a predetermined flight plan and an image capture apparatus mounted on the aircraft while being movable relative to the aircraft around a rotation axis. The method includes capturing a first series of images during a single flyover of the geographical area by the aircraft by positioning the image capture apparatus iteratively according to a first sequence of angular position(s), and then capturing a second series of images by positioning the image capture apparatus iteratively according to a second sequence of angular position(s) including at least one angular position distinct from each angular position of the first sequence.

  • Patent number: 9542719
    Abstract: A device for decomposing images into at least three levels by wavelet transform comprises a first unit executing a first level of decomposition and a second unit executing the higher levels of decomposition by performing a sequence of processing tasks. The tasks are ordered in time by using a sequence of rows, a routing unit serving to configure the second unit when the level of decomposition associated with the processing task currently being executed changes relative to the level of decomposition associated with the processing task executed previously. The processing tasks are ordered so that any given row is associated with only one level of decomposition.
