VEHICLE LOCALIZATION USING THE GROUND SURFACE WITH AN EVENT CAMERA
A method for estimating vehicle location by obtaining change events from an event camera's observations of a ground surface moving relative to the vehicle, determining a signature of the ground surface from the change events; and estimating the location using the signature. The change events may be processed to produce an 1st invariant representation of a ground surface patch for use as the signature. Alternatively, range measurements representing a patch may be used as the signature. A map is constructed having the representations of the ground surface patches including the locations of the patches. The same patch of ground surface is subsequently measured thereby obtaining a sequence of change events which are processed to produce a 2nd representation. The 2nd representation is matched to the map of 1st invariant representations. The location of the vehicle on the ground is determined based on the match.
Method for checking an object made of transparent material and corresponding checking system
Method for checking the surface and/or shape of at least one surface, or part thereof, of an object made of transparent material, by means of a checking system which comprises a light source, a sensor and a processing unit connected to the sensor. By an appropriate positioning of the light source and sensor it is possible to overcome the problem of multiple reflections and to identify in a unique manner the rays scattered from the surface to be checked and received by the sensor which are useful for the purposes of checking. According to one of the embodiments, it is also possible to determine the thickness of the object to be checked.
AUTOMATED 3-D MODELING OF SHOE PARTS
Manufacturing of a shoe is enhanced by creating 3-D models of shoe parts. For example, a laser beam may be projected onto a shoe-part surface, such that a projected laser line appears on the shoe part. An image of the projected laser line may be analyzed to determine coordinate information, which may be converted into geometric coordinate values usable to create a 3-D model of the shoe part. Once a 3-D model is known and is converted to a coordinate system recognized by shoe-manufacturing tools, certain manufacturing steps may be automated.
