Abstract:
The present invention relates to a system (200) and method for determining a relation between a first scene and a second scene. The method comprises the steps of generating at least one sensor image of a first scene with at least one sensor; accessing information related to at least one second scene, said second scene encompassing said first scene, and matching the sensor image with the second scene to map the sensor image onto the second scene. The step of accessing information related to the at least one second scene comprises accessing a 3D map comprising geocoded 3D coordinate data. The mapping involves associating geocoding information to a plurality of positions in the sensor image based on the coordinate data of the second scene.

The first length of the two-conductor transmission line is arranged to extend from a ground plane to a first height where the first length of the two-conductor transmission line is connected to the common mode rejection filter.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a balun suitable for realizing a wideband transition in the radio frequency band from an unbalanced transmission line to a balanced transmission line. The balun comprises an input terminal; a two conductor output terminal; and a layered structure comprising a number of conducting layers and dielectric layers alternatingly arranged on top of each other. The layered structure comprises at least one ground plane layer and at least one signal transmission layer. The input terminal has a signal connection point and a screen connecting point. An unbalanced signal path is connected to the signal connection point and the screen connecting point of the input terminal. A balanced signal path is connected to the output terminal and being part of the layered structure. A balun transition region transforms the signal from an unbalanced signal to a balanced signal. The balun transition region comprises a non-conducting gap between the screen of the unbalanced signal and a dummy screen structure. The dummy screen structure is a mirror structure, mirrored in a plane of the gap, of a horizontal portion of the unbalanced signal path before the gap. A central conductor or signal conductor of the unbalanced signal path traverses the gap and enters a volume defined by the dummy screen structure. The screen of the unbalanced signal in the vicinity of the gap forms a first balanced conductor being part of the layered structure and the screen of the dummy screen structure, in vicinity of the gap, forms a second balanced conductor being part of the layered structure.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the field of digital media recording such as video or audio, where compression is used to reduce the amount of data to save onto a data storage. In particular the invention relates to recording media, wherein the memory area required to store the media is unknown. The invention discloses a method for recording digital streamed media with a number of media frames in a memory by encoding each media frame into an encoded frame comprising a first number of sets of data, representing different characteristics of the media stream. The invention further relates to detecting if the data storage is full and if the data storage is full, storing new frames in the data storage previously occupied by the data sets representing the least prioritized characteristics of the previously stored encoded frames. The invention also relates to a corresponding media recorder and computer program.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and system for mission planning. The method comprises the steps of: —providing (805) information related to a target scene, said information comprising information related to a plurality of targets, —providing (810) information related to a plurality of resources for target attack, —determining (820) at least one possible attack direction against each target, —determining (830) a target effect associated to attacking the target from each of said determined at least one possible attack direction for each target, —forming (840) a network of possible routes between the targets for the resources, wherein the possible routes are determined based on the possible attack directions related to each target, and —forming (845) the mission plan for fighting the targets based on the determined target effects from the respective attack directions and based on the formed network of possible routes, wherein each target is fighted a predetermined amount of times.
Abstract:
A method of estimating absolute orientation of a vehicle utilizing a camera and GPS. At least three images are selected from concurrent images taken above an essentially horizontal ground at a distance from each other. Key points are identified in each selected image. Absolute positions of the images are obtained from the GPS defining the image positions when a respective image was taken. Key points between selected images are matched to obtain an estimate of the absolute orientation.
Abstract:
A countermass container for use in a recoilless weapon. The countermass container includes an envelope encloses a countermass. A recoilless weapon includes a barrel accommodating an ammunition unit, a propellant charge and a countermass container. The countermass container includes an envelope enclosing a countermass. The barrel includes a front end opening for firing the ammunition unit out of the barrel and a rear end opening for ejecting the envelope and countermass of the counter mass container. The envelope is divided into a front section and a rear section. The rear section of the envelope has a weaker construction than the front section of the envelope to more easily crack than the front section of the envelope. Splines are provided at the front section to create ducts.
Abstract:
A method for estimating, from a platform, at least one parameter of an intruder. Consecutive frames of image data at different times of the intruder utilizing at least one passive sensor are generated. A direction from the platform to the intruder is determined based on the generated consecutive frames of image data. A time period remaining until a potential collision between the platform and the intruder is estimated. An angular extent of the intruder, as viewed by the passive sensor, is estimated based on the image data. At least one of a first relative location vector to a minimum intruder associated with the intruder or a second relative location vector to a maximum intruder associated with the intruder is estimated. An arrangement for generating input data to a sense-and-avoid system on-board a platform, a computer program, a computer program product and a platform carrying the arrangement are also provided.
Abstract:
A collision avoidance system including a receiver configured to receive navigational data regarding intruding aerial vehicle and own aircraft. Storage is configured to store a plurality of predefined escape trajectories. A processor is configured to compare at least a subset of the predefined escape trajectories with a presumed trajectory of the intruding aerial vehicle and to select one of the predefined escape trajectories based on the comparison. The predefined escape trajectories are pre-simulated, wherein each escape trajectory is associated to a set of navigational data and to an escape maneuver direction.
