20110013201 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MEASURING A PARKING SPACE - A device for measuring a parking space as a vehicle drives past the parking space includes a depth-measuring line scan camera movable together with the vehicle for acquiring individual images of the environment surrounding the vehicle transverse to a longitudinal direction of the vehicle, an arrangement for acquiring the movement of the vehicle, and an evaluation device. The individual images of the environment surrounding the vehicle contain depth information that is resolvable in a vertical direction. | 01-20-2011 |
20110199621 | SINGLE-TRANSDUCER, THREE-DIMENSIONAL LASER IMAGING SYSTEM AND METHOD - Disclosed herein are a system and method for three-dimensional imaging using a single transducer. A laser in a transmitter emits a sequence of short pulses, each of which is at a different center wavelength (frequency). A dispersive element in the transmitter spatially separates the pulses according to wavelength, with different pulses mapped to different spatial locations in a target volume via a lens. The pulses travel to the target, which scatters or back-reflects the pulses towards the dispersive element via the lens. The lens collects the returned pulses and transmits them to a single transducer via the dispersive element. The transducer measures the time of arrival for each returned pulse. Because the arrival time depends on the range to the object in the portion of the target illuminated by the corresponding emitted pulse, the measured arrival time can be used to reconstruct a 3D (angle-angle-range) image of the object. | 08-18-2011 |
20130286409 | DIMENSIONING SYSTEM - The present invention determines the dimensions and volume of an object by using a novel 3-D camera that measures the distance to every reflective point in its field of view with a single pulse of light. The distance is computed by the time of flight of the pulse to each camera pixel. The accuracy of the measurement is augmented by capture of the laser pulse shape in each camera pixel. The camera can be used on an assembly line to develop quality control data for manufactured objects or on a moving or stationary system that weighs as well as dimensions the objects. The device can also ascertain the minimum size of a box required to enclose an object. | 10-31-2013 |
20140307267 | Measuring Device - A measuring device having a first set of illumination sources including respective first and second illumination sources for measuring a first distance; a second set of illumination sources including respective first and second illumination sources for measuring a second distance, a first support for the first set of illumination sources, a second support for the second set of illumination sources wherein defining a first distance with said first set of illumination sources defines a second distance with the second set of illumination sources. | 10-16-2014 |
20150009511 | MONITORING DEVICE, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THE MONITORING OF AN AREA OF BUILDING OR LAND, USING AT LEAST ONE LIGHT WAVEGUIDE - A monitoring device is provided that is used for the monitoring of an area of building or land, including an optical strand used as a sensor, one optical source for emitting an optical emission signal transmitted in the optical strand, and one optical analogue detector for detecting an intensity of an optical return signal corresponding to the optical emission signal returning from the optical strand. The monitoring device is arranged as a compact unit and includes a controller for alternately activating and deactivating the emission of the optical source so that a ratio between the non-emission duration and the emission duration is greater than 5000. A monitoring system is also provided including such a monitoring device, and a monitoring method carried out in the monitoring device. | 01-08-2015 |
