Abstract:
A method for encoding an image descriptor (H) based on gradient histograms (hp) into a transformed descriptor (V) having transformed subdescriptors (vp), wherein each gradient histogram (hp) includes a plurality of histogram bins (hi) and each subdescriptor (vp) includes a set of values (vj), wherein the subdescriptors (vp) are generated according to an element utilization order list specifying a subdescriptor index (p) of the set of sub descriptors (vp) and an element index (j) of the set of values (vj).
Abstract:
A method for transforming an image descriptor, based on a gradient histogram (h) having a plurality of histogram bins (hi), into a transformed gradient histogram descriptor (v) including a set of values (vj), wherein it is provided the step of applying at least one criterium for calculating the set of values (vj), at least one criterium having a location criterium of the histogram bins (hi). The invention also relates to an image processing device suitable for carrying out the method.
Abstract:
A method is described for reconstructing the map of an environment (20) surrounding a wireless device (100), said environment (20) being equipped with one or more radio frequency tags (1) set in a number dependent on the level of detail to be obtained in said reconstruction, said method comprising the steps of: - receiving identification and localization data of said one or more radio frequency tags (1) over a wireless connection by said at least one wireless reception means (3) of the wireless device (100); - storing the identification and localization data of said one or more radio frequency tags (1) into a filing and/or storage means (5,6) by a processing means (2) of the wireless device (100); - providing on said output means (7) of the wireless device (100) at least one map of said environment (20) built on the basis of the identification and localization data of the radio frequency tags (1).
Abstract:
A method for managing a map (140) stored in a memory (130) associated with a personal navigation device (10), including a command and data entry unit (115) operable by a user, wherein the map (140) can be visualized on a display (115) and includes a road network, the method including the step of combining a first set of data about the road network, stored in the map (140), with a second set of data about at least one road not present in the road network or defined as not viable, in particular a new road, wherein the second data can be entered by the user by the command and data entry unit (115).
Abstract:
A method for allowing missions of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), in particular in non-segregated air space, includes the steps of: prearranging a flight plan by an operator of an unmanned aerial vehicle; verifying, by a management and control body, that the flight plan is compatible with other flight plans of other aerial vehicles, and, if necessary, modifying the flight plan so as to prevent any collisions with the other aerial vehicles, wherein the following steps are carried out: encrypting the flight plan, by the management and control body, with a private key of the management and control body, so as to obtain an encrypted flight plan; encoding the encrypted flight plan with a public key of the unmanned aerial vehicle for which the flight plan is intended, so as to obtain an encrypted and encoded flight plan.
Abstract:
A process for indoor location of a mobile cellular terminal (3) equipped with a transceiver apparatus capable of communicating with a mobile cellular telecommunication network (2), through a system including at least one transmitter apparatus (5a-5g), present inside an indoor environment (6;A-G), and at least one of the mobile terminals (3) equipped with at least one receiver apparatus (4), capable of receiving data transmitted by at least one of the transmitter apparatuses (5a-5g) present inside the indoor environment (6;A-G) and of relaying them to a locating station (7) through the transceiver apparatus over the mobile cellular telecommunication network (2), including the following steps, wherein: at least one of the transmitter apparatuses (5a-5g) present in the indoor environment (6;A-G) transmits at least one identifier (ID; - ) of the indoor environment (6;A-G) where the transmitter apparatus (5a-5g) is situated; the receiver apparatus (4) of the mobile terminal (3) receives the identifier (ID; - ) transmitted by at least one of the transmitter apparatuses (5a-5g); the transceiver apparatus of the mobile terminal (3) relays the identifier (ID; - ) or data associated therewith to the locating station (7) through the mobile cellular telecommunication network (2); and the locating station (7) locates the mobile terminal (3) depending on the identifier (ID; - ) or the data associated therewith received from the mobile terminal (3) through the mobile cellular telecommunication network (2), by associating the identifier (ID; - ) with the position of the indoor environment (6;A-G) after consulting an existing database (9) accessible to the locating station (7), the database (9) including information associating the identifier (ID; - ) with data relating to the position of the indoor environment (6;A-G) where the transmitter (5a-5g) that transmitted it is situated, and wherein the identifier (ID) is associated with at least one fixed communication terminal (8) present inside the indoor environment (6), and wherein the data relating to the position of the indoor environment includes a geographic address (LOCATION) of the fixed communication terminal (8).
