Patent EP-2159779-A1 (EP)
Inventor: MOLANDER SOEREN
IPC: G01S13/933
Filed: 2008-08-27
Abstract: The present invention provides a collision avoidance system (5) for deciding whether an autonomous avoidance manoeuvre should be performed in order to avoid a mid-air collision between a host aerial vehicle (1) equipped with the system (5) and an intruding aerial vehicle. 
     The system comprises at least one electro-optical sensor (3) for capturing consecutive images of an intruding vehicle such that the vehicle manifests itself as a target point in said images. It also comprises image processing means (7) for estimating the azimuth angle, elevation angle and a first time-to-collision estimate of the time to collision between the host vehicle and the intruding vehicle. The first time-to-collision estimate is estimated based on scale change in the target point between at least two of said consecutive images. The system (5) further comprises a tracking filter (12) which is arranged to estimate a second time-to-collision estimate using the azimuth angle, the elevation angle and the first time-to-collision estimate estimated by the image processing means (7) as input parameters. Furthermore, the system (5) comprises collision avoidance means (15) arranged to decide whether or not an avoidance manoeuvre should be performed based on any of at least one parameter, of which at least one is indicative of said second time-to-collision estimate. 
     By using the first time-to-collision estimates from the image processing means (7) as input parameters to the tracking filter (12), the uncertainty in the second time-to-collision estimates outputted by the filter is reduced. By allowing the decision as to whether or not an avoidance manoeuvre should be performed to be based on said second time-to-collision estimates, a safe and robust collision avoidance system (5) is provided.

Abstract: The method involves detecting a considered mark repeated along length of a road (203), on an image acquired by a camera (201) e.g. radar, where the mark is formed of elements at a position. Another mark is detected at a remote distance from a vehicle (200), where the mark is presented at another position on road. A determination is made whether change of orientation of the marks exists by an image processing application. Presence of a slope (204) is deduced from the change of marks orientation and a gradient of the slope is calculated from characteristics of the change of marks orientation. An independent claim is also included for a driving assistance device embarked within a vehicle, for determining gradient of a slope, comprising a camera.

Abstract: In order to protect a software program, at least one corruption function is included in the program. Also included in the program is at least one instruction that causes the program to be directed to the corruption function. An available breakpoint is then set such that, when the starting location of the corruption function is reached, an exception is generated and the handling of the exception causes the corruption function not to run. This has the effect that, if a malicious user attempts to use the available hardware breakpoint to perform unauthorized actions on the software program, the corruption function will run, and the software program will be unusable.
