  • Patent number: 10339698
    Abstract: A method for discriminating and identifying, by 3D imaging, an object in a complex scene comprises the following steps: generating a sequence of 2D MIP images of the object, from a 3D voxel volume of the complex scene, this volume visualized by an operator by using an iterative process of MIP type from a projection plane and an intensity threshold determined by the operator on each iteration, automatically extracting, from the sequence of images, coordinates of a reduced volume corresponding to the sequence of images, choosing one of the intensity thresholds used during the iterations, automatically extracting, from the 3D volume of the complex scene, from the coordinates and chosen intensity threshold, a reduced 3D volume containing the object, automatically generating, from the reduced volume, by intensity threshold optimization, an optimized intensity threshold and an optimized voxel volume, a color being associated with each intensity, identifying the object by visualization.

  • Patent number: 9779358
    Abstract: A data processor system for monitoring a complex system, the processor system configured to receive a plurality of pieces of state information and to merge at least the pieces of state information into a piece of failure information, at least one of the pieces of state information being associated with a confidence flag, and the piece of failure information also being associated with a confidence flag. The system performs the merging by implementing a fuzzy logic technique to produce the piece of failure information while taking account of the respective confidence flag of the pieces of state information and to produce the confidence flag associated with the failure information.

  • Patent number: 9135747
    Abstract: A method for 3D reconstruction of an object based on back-scattered and sensed signals, including: generating, from the sensed signals, 3D points to which their back-scattering intensity is respectively assigned, which form a set A of reconstructed data, starting from A, extracting a set B of data, whose points are located within a volume containing the object, as a function of volume characteristics F2, starting from B, extracting a set C of data characterizing the external surface of the object, the surface having regions with missing parts, depending on an extraction criterion, based on C, filling in the regions with missing parts by generation of a three-dimensional surface so as to obtain a set D of completed data of the object, without having to use an external database, and identifying the object based on D.
