Abstract: The invention relates to an add-on display configured for attachment to a contour frame of a side-mirror of a vehicle and to provide visual awareness, safety or alert signals, comprising at least partially flexible casing, said casing comprising: (a) a partition wall separating between a front portion and a rear portion of the casing; (b) said front portion comprising one or more sections along a longitudinal axis of the casing, at least one of the sections is configured to contain at least one Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) that issues said visual signals; (c) a connecting piece in between any two adjacent sections, if more than one exists, said connecting piece comprising at least a first opening at its bottom; and (d) at least one attachment surface configured for attachment to a surface of said contour frame the side-mirror of the vehicle.

Abstract: A riding assistance system for a motorcycle comprising: a processing resource; a memory configured to store data usable by the processing resource; and at least one wide-angle forward-looking camera configured to be installed on the motorcycle in a manner enabling it to capture images of a scene including at least a right side and a left side in front of the motorcycle; wherein the processing resource is configured to: obtain a series of at least two images consecutively acquired by the camera; analyze a region of interest within at least a pair of consecutive images of the series to identify features having respective feature locations within the at least pair of consecutive images; determine vectors of movement of the features; and generate a warning notification upon a criterion associated with the vectors of movement being met.

Abstract: A system and method to detect similarities between images. The system and method allow comparisons between a query image and one or more catalog images in a manner that is resilient to scanning, scaling, rotating, cropping and other distortions of the query image. The system includes an image processing module that determines and/or calculates principle features of a catalog image and constructs a feature vector using one or more of the principle features. The system also includes a matching module that matches a query image to one or more catalog images. The system finds matches based on a distance measure of features present in the query image and features present in the catalog images.

Abstract: Various disclosed embodiments relate to video content analysis based in part upon the detection of shot transitions. In some embodiments, a process and computer system for detecting shot transitions in a video is used to separate a video sequence into a series of “shots” having multiple frames. These shots may then be used for additional processing, e.g., content detection within the video frames.

Abstract: Apparatus for matching a query image against a catalog of images, comprises: a feature extraction unit operative for extracting principle features from said query image; a relationship unit operative for establishing relationships between a given principle feature and other features in the image, and adding said relationships as relationship information alongside said principle features; and a first comparison unit operative for comparing principle features and associated relationship information of said query image with principle features and associated relationship information of images of said catalog to find candidate matches.
