Publication number: 20240094337Abstract: According to a method for operating a sensor system, radiation is emitted during a first and a second measurement time period in order to generate point clouds, the points of which are described by a spatial position and an energy characteristic. A first sub-quantity of a first point cloud and a second sub-quantity of a second point cloud are identified with an energy characteristic which is greater than or equal to an energy threshold in each case. A third sub-quantity of the first point cloud and a fourth sub-quantity of the second point cloud are identified with positions lying within the spatial surroundings of the first sub-quantity and the second sub-quantity, respectively. The spatial extension of the fourth sub-quantity is compared with that of the third sub-quantity, and the points of the third and/or the fourth sub-quantity are marked as artifacts based on the result of the comparison.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2021Publication date: March 21, 2024Applicant: Valeo Schalter und Sensoren GmbHInventors: Sergio Fernandez, Shuyun Guo

Publication number: 20240066802Abstract: In some examples, a system receives measurement data from measurements of first three-dimensional (3D) parts formed on a build bed of an additive manufacturing machine with different contone levels of a liquid agent, and determines, based on the measurement data, geometrical deviations of the first 3D parts from a baseline geometrical property. The system generates, based on the determined geometrical deviations, a model that correlates contone levels of the liquid agent to corresponding geometrical deviations, the model for use in an adjustment of the liquid agent based on a contone level adjustment to compensate for a geometrical deviation when building second 3D parts with the additive manufacturing machine or another additive manufacturing machine.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2022Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Sergio Gonzalez Martin, Manuel Freire Garcia, Alejandro Manuel de Pena Hempel, Ismael Fernandez Aymerich

Publication number: 20230152457Abstract: According to a method for object recognition by an active optical sensor system (2), a detector unit (2b) detects light (3b) reflected off an object (4) and generates a sensor signal (5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e, 5f) on the basis thereof. A computing unit (2c) ascertains a first pulse width (D1) defined by a predetermined first limit value (G1) for an amplitude of the sensor signal (5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e, 5f) as well as a second pulse width (D2) defined by a predetermined second limit value (G2). The signal pulse is assigned to one of at least two categories according to at least one predefined signal pulse parameter, and a scatter plot for object recognition is generated, said scatter plot containing exactly one entry for the signal pulse, said entry corresponding to the first pulse width (D1) or to the second pulse width (D2) according to the category to which the signal pulse belongs.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2021Publication date: May 18, 2023Applicant: Valeo Schalter und Sensoren GmbHInventors: Sergio Fernandez, Christoph Pfrang, Viktor Trusov, Ali Bassiouny

Publication number: 20220373660Abstract: According to a method for filtering measurement data of a sensor system (2), light pulses (5) reflected in the environment of the sensor system (2) are captured by means of an array (7) of optical detectors (8, 9, 10). A multiplicity of measurement signals (11, 12) are generated by means of the array (7) based on the captured light pulses. A computing unit (3) identifies a first measurement signal (11) whose pulse energy is greater than a specified minimum energy, wherein the first measurement signal (11) was generated by a first detector (8). A second measurement signal (12) is compared with the first measurement signal (11) by means of the computing unit (3), wherein the second measurement signal (12) was generated by a second detector (9), which is at a distance from the first detector (8) that is less than or equal to a specified maximum distance. The computing unit discards at least a part of the second measurement signal depending on a result of the comparison.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2020Publication date: November 24, 2022Applicant: Valeo Schalter und Sensoren GmbHInventors: Sergio Fernandez, Shuyun Guo, Christoph Pfrang

Patent number: 11018854Abstract: In various embodiments, a computer-readable memory medium coupled to a processor is disclosed. The memory medium is configured to store instructions which cause the processor to retrieve a seed value, receive a digital bit stream, generate a stream of random bits, using the seed value as a seed to a pseudo random number generator (PRNG), wherein the stream of random bits contains at least as many bits as the digital bit stream, shuffle bits of the stream of random bits to create a random bit buffer, generate an obfuscated digital bit stream by applying a first exclusive OR (XOR) to the digital bit stream and the random bit buffer, wherein the obfuscated digital bit stream has the same number of bits as the digital bit stream, and provide the obfuscated digital bit stream to the communications interface.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2020Date of Patent: May 25, 2021Assignee: AgilePQ, Inc.Inventors: Sergio A.

Patent number: 10832539Abstract: A security camera system for safeguarding a designated area includes at least one camera for encoding and transmitting streaming video of the designated area, and a video receiver for receiving, decoding and analyzing the streaming video for relevant motion, such as movement indicative of the presence of a person. Upon detecting a motion event, the video receiver triggers an alert condition, which results in storing each video steam into memory. Each camera is provided with a PIR detector circuit for measuring infrared radiation within the designated area, the video steam and IR data being transmitted to the receiver via analog communication means to reduce implementation costs. To minimize the risk of false trigger events, the receiver monitors both pixel changes in the streaming video signals as well as measured IR radiation levels within the designated area that fall within the traditional thermal energy range of human body heat.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2019Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: NIGHT OWL SP, LLCInventors: Timothy Jay Carskadon, Craig Greenberg, Sergio Fernandez
