Title: Method and system for generating a three-dimensional image of an object
Inventor: Oystein Skotheim
IPC: G06T17/20
Filed: 2017-12-22
Abstract: A set of input data comprising multiple input point clouds is received from an imaging system (401), each set of image data being acquired using a different exposure setting (e.g. HDR imaging). A quality value that reflects a degree of uncertainty in the 3D coordinates for each point in the clouds is determined (S402), and groups of points are identified from the set of input cloud data, each group comprising a point from each input cloud. An output point cloud is generated (S403), wherein the output cloud point coordinates are based on the coordinates of the points in one of the identified groups of points. The extent to which the coordinate values of each point in the group are taken into consideration is based on the quality values associated with those points. A 3D image of the object is rendered (S404) based on the output point cloud. The quality value may be derived from a degree of contrast, standard deviation in intensity, or from the amplitude of the recovered signal in a Time-of-Flight (ToF) system. The data in each input point cloud may be computed from one or more 2D object images captured by a light sensor.

Filed: 2019-01-04
Abstract: An electronic height indicator for a heavy goods vehicles (HGV) comprises a box including a microprocessor for attachment to a trailer, and a video display unit (VDU) for attachment in the tractor cab. A user is able to program the microprocessor with the trailer height and other data (e.g. date, origin and destination of load, content of shipment) via a computer. The microprocessor outputs the height data via vehicle cabling/wiring to the VDU screen to display this e.g. in metric or imperial units. This assists the driver in determining the maximum height of bridge or overpass the trailer can negotiate. The box may be fixed to the trailer headboard and may also include a micro display window (see figure 1), a printer port, a power input port and a battery. The indicator may cooperate with a satellite navigation system to automatically take the height data into account when calculating routes.
