Abstract: A device comprising an operating system to run processes and a middleware layer operable to launch applications. An application launched by the middleware layer is run using one or more processes in the operating system. The operating system has a user layer and a kernel wherein the processes run in the user layer and interact with other processes running in the user layer through the kernel, the interaction being in response to calls to the kernel made by the processes. The device has one or more policy files defining policies for interaction of processes with the kernel of the device, and a monitor configured to monitor interaction of a process with the kernel to link or associate defined policies to the process, and to read code defined in the policy file or files linked or associated to the process.

Abstract: Method for improving the visibly of objects and recognizing objects in a set of images recorded by one or more cameras, the images of said set of images being made from mutual different geometric positions, the method comprising the steps or recording a set or subset of images by means of one camera which is moved rather freely and which makes said images during its movement, thus providing an array of subsequent images, estimating the camera movement between subsequent image recordings, also called ego-motion hereinafter, based on features of those recorded images, registering the camera images using a synthetic aperture method, recognizing said objects.

Abstract: A method of linking a security policy stored in a policy database that is specific to an application in the application layer with a new corresponding process launched in the LINUX layer in a security system for an operating system running on a device that comprises a LINUX-based kernel. The system architecture is defined by a middleware layer between the LINUX layer associated with the kernel and the higher application layer comprising the applications.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of correcting a bias in a motion estimation of a multiple camera system in a three-dimensional (3D) space, wherein the fields of view of multiple cameras at least partially coincide. The method comprises the step of computing a first and second set of distribution parameters associated with corresponding determined 3D positions of image features in subsequent image sets. Further, the method comprises the step of estimating a set of motion parameters representing a motion of the multiple camera system. The method also comprises the steps of improving the computed first or second set of distribution parameters and improving the estimated set of motion parameters. Further, the method comprises calculating a bias direction based on the initially estimated set of motion parameters and on the improved estimated set of motion parameters.
