Patent EP-1012530-A1 (EP)
Inventor: GERSHENFELD NEIL
IPC: H03K17/955
Filed: 1997-02-18
Abstract: Apparatus and methods for resolving presence, orientation and activity of a person within a defined space utilizes at least one electrode proximate to the space to be observed. An AC signal is applied to the electrode, and the current measured from that electrode and also to any other electrodes included in the system, and which are effectively connected to the ground return of the AC-coupled electrode. A person (or object) to be sensed intercepts a part of the electric field extending between the AC-coupled 'sending' electrode and the other 'receiving' electrodes, the amount of the field intercepted depending on the size and orientation of the sensed person, whether or not the person provides a grounding path, and the geometry of the distributed electrodes. Given the nonlinear spatial dependence of the field, multiple electrodes can reliably distinguish among a set of expected cases. The invention can be configured to detect not only static positions and orientations, but also motion through a defined space. This is accomplished by taking sequential measurements at different times and utilizing the time variation in signal magnitudes as well as the absolute magnitudes themselves.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus are provided for introducing reference
impairments into pictures to be used in subjective tests on digital video signals,
in compliance with ITU-T Recommendation P.930. The method generates
blockiness distortion and/or edge busyness distortion. For the first distortion, areas
close to picture edges are selected and, through a movement characteristics
analysis, blocks are identified that belong to said areas and that are concerned
only by the actual movement of the subject and, for blocks chosen among the
identified ones, the luminance value is replaced by a value linked to the individual
pixel luminance and to the average block luminance value. For the second
distortion, echoes are applied that are randomly chosen in a prearranged set and
that alternate at random.
