20080211910 | Surveillance Camera, Method For Calibrating the Surveillance Camera, and Use of the Surveillance Camera - Video monitoring systems are commonly used for monitoring streets, junctions, squares, and also public buildings, museums, prisons. Video monitoring systems which output the results for the viewing areas/objects in the scene in metric units, such as lengths in meters and speed in meters per second, or the absolute and/or relative positioning in a camera network, require knowledge of camera parameters such as e.g. the position, orientation, and aperture angle of the camera(s). These parameters are usually manually measured at high cost during the installation process, for example special patterns (sample patterns) are used, or people walking backwards and forwards in front of the camera.

20090192686 | Method and Driver Assistance System for Sensor-Based Drive-Off Control of a Motor Vehicle - A method for controlling the drive-off of a motor vehicle in which the area in front of the vehicle is sensed using a sensor device and a drive-off enabling signal is automatically output after the vehicle stops, if the traffic situation allows. Features of the road in the area in front of the vehicle are extracted from the data of the sensor device, and on the basis of these features, at least one enable criterion is checked, a positive result indicating that the road is clear. | 07-30-2009 |
20100131155 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DETECTING AN OBSTACLE IN A REGION SURROUNDING A MOTOR VEHICLE, AND MOTOR VEHICLE - An apparatus for sensing an obstacle in a region surrounding a motor vehicle analyzes an image of the surrounding region, which region is divided into a plurality of fields. For each of the fields, the apparatus compares the relevant probability of the presence of an obstacle with a first threshold value and with a second threshold value that is greater than the first threshold value; determines a first classification of the fields as containing the obstacle if the probability of the relevant field is greater than the first threshold value, and determines a second classification of the fields as containing the obstacle if the probability of the relevant field is greater than the second threshold value. | 05-27-2010 |
