Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système et un procédé qui permettent de détecter et d'extraire une chaîne de caractères se trouvant dans des données d'images saisies d'une image naturelle. Une représentation du bord des données d'image est obtenue, cette représentation comprenant une pluralité de pixels de bord à largeur unique ayant chacun une grandeur et une direction (20) associées. Les pixels de bord sont marqués en fonction de la connexité (21) des pixels. Les pixels de bord de points terminaux sont identifiés et leurs indicateurs sont mélangés au niveau de grandes zones de courbure des caractères. Des définitions des zones limites des caractères sont créées au moyen des informations de direction des pixels de bord et des indicateurs (22). Les définitions de limite des caractères sont filtrées au moyen des informations de direction pour identifier les informations (23) de premier plan et d'arrière plan des caractères. Les définitions filtrées sont mélangées aux définitions de limites adjacentes pour former une définition de ligne de caractères qui dépend des définitions de zones limites adjacentes par rapport à leur position respective (24).

Abstract: This patent refers to an electronic equipment unit, which is intended to collects, process and transfer data from a certain area, which it monitors, to a telemetry system. In more detail, data are collected from various intrusion monitoring sensors (e.g. infra-red or microwave detectors), water level detectors, smoke detectors, electrical supply watchdogs etc. These sensor are external and use the logic circuits of the printed circuit board. The above mentioned data are suitably processed by the unit and the output is sent to a telemetry system via an external interface box. The advantages of this patent is the small size of the device and the low cost of the construction and operation of the device. It integrates on one printed circuit board (PCB) the processor and the logic circuits of a variety of sensors. Owing to its small size, the device can be easily installed inside sealed cellular telephony antenna shelters (outdoor shelters).
