Filed: 2003-01-17
Abstract: Disclosed is a method for operating a device used for monitoring and signaling in a wireless manner the pressure or a change in pressure of tires on vehicle wheels, hereafter called wheel electronics. According to the inventive method, the existing pressure in the tire is measured by generating electric pressure gauging signals, and a signal providing information on the pressure or a change in pressure is then transmitted. Said information signal is received by a receiver which is arranged in or at the vehicle. The wheel electronics are put into a first operating condition by a first control signal which is transmitted in a wireless manner from outside the wheel electronics. In said first operating condition, the pressure or a change in pressure is measured and is transmitted as a result of receiving an inquiry signal which is generated outside the wheel electronics and is transmitted thereto in a wireless manner. The wheel electronics are placed in a second operating condition if the wheel electronics do not receive another inquiry signal within a predefined period of time after receiving the first inquiry signal. In said second operating condition, the pressure or a change in pressure is repeatedly measured and is transmitted at a set or variable transmission rate which is formed in thewheel electronics for said second operating condition.

IPC: G06T15/50
Filed: 2003-08-27
Abstract: A contrast-based image fusion system and method of processing multiple image s to form a processed or fused image including regions selected from one or mo re images. Images are divided into image regions. Portions of the images are filtered if necessary. A contrast map is generated for each image via a convolution kernel resulting in a contrast map with contrast values for each image region. Contrast values are compared and image regions are selected based on a selection criteria or process such as greater or maximum contrast . The selected image regions form the fused image. If necessary, the luminance of one or more portions of the fused image is adjusted. One sensor is select ed as a reference sensor, and an average intensity of each region of the reference sensor image is determined across the reference sensor image. The intensity of one or more regions in the final image is adjusted by combining the determined average luminance values and intensity values of the final image.
