Abstract: A method for generating a photogrammetric corridor map from a set of input images by recovering a respective pose of each image, wherein a pose includes a position and an orientation information of the underlying camera, including steps of: a) receiving a set of input images, b) defining a working set, c) initializing an image cluster, d) further growing the image cluster: d1) selecting one image from the working set that features overlap with at least one image already in the cluster, e) continuing with step b) if there remain images in the working set; if not, f) generating and providing as output the corridor map using the recovered camera poses.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for thermal treatment of a raw material containing lithium compounds and phosphorus compounds, a process for thermal treatment of a raw material containing lithium compounds and phosphorus compounds and a method of recovering lithium and/or phosphorus from residue material of lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract: A method for permanently monitoring pressurized pipelines and line systems, including connected loads, which carry fluid media, includes carrying out pressure measurements in different modes downstream of the transfer point between the supply device and the load connection in order to determine consumption values over predeterminable periods of time and to infer the system state. An electronically controllable shut-off valve is arranged downstream of the transfer point and a pressure sensor is arranged downstream of the valve in the direction of flow. All of the removal locations are closed and pressure is built up in the system. The shut-off valve is closed and an outlet pressure drop, which may be present, is determined over a first period of time and the initial and final pressure values are stored. The valve is opened and the consumption of water with the longest equal flow rate is set and stored as the end of commissioning.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for actively monitoring pipelines guiding pressurized media and consumers, which are connected to the respective pipeline or pipeline system, by means of differential pressure measurement. According to the invention, monitoring occurs as to whether permanent and quasi-constant consumption takes place during a specific time period, preferably at the transfer point or behind the point of transfer between the supply device and consumer connection in a continuous manner or in predetermined cycles. If this is the case, it is possible to deduce an abnormal state, e.g. a leak, and an alarm is triggered or the downstream pipeline system is blocked.
