Title: Method and device for generating an image of an area surrounding a vehicle
Inventor: WOLFGANG NIEHSEN
IPC: H04N7/18
Filed: 2017-02-15
Abstract: A method for generating an image which compensates for vehicle, such as a car, motion blur due to a rolling shutter. First image data and second image data from a camera are read, wherein the first image data is from a different recording area to the second image data, and wherein the second image data is recorded after the first image data. The second image data is then processed using a vehicle and/or driving parameter, such as speed or camera mounting height. The first and processed second image data are then combined to obtain an image of an area surrounding a vehicle. The image data is partial image data and may be a pixel, scan row or scan column of the camera. The structure of an external object detected in the first or second image data may be used to generate the processed second image data by comparing the detected structure with a structure from memory. A method for automatically detecting objects from images is included.

Title: Electrical Terminal
Inventor: SANJAYA SINGHAL
IPC: H01R4/48
Filed: 2017-04-06
Abstract: An electrical terminal includes a locking mechanism such as a movable cage 150, an actuator such as a spring 145, and a holding mechanism such as a nylon screw 155. The locking mechanism is held in an unclamped position allowing easy insertion of a conductor 135. The holding mechanism is then released, and the locking mechanism moves under the force of the actuator to clamp the conductor. This prevents removal of the electric cable conductor, creating a tamper proof configuration post installation. It also reduces the likelihood of a poor electrical connection forming between the electrical cable conductor and the current busbar as a result of an incorrect or poor quality installation. The terminal may be used on an electrical meter, where it may allow the load and supply terminals to be one over the other.

Title: Encoding and decoding of geometry data in a 3D model based on evaluated regularity of the model
Inventor: GUILLAUME LAROCHE
IPC: G06T9/00
Filed: 2017-04-19
Abstract: Encoding and decoding geometry data of a 3D object where encoding vertex positions includes predicting the position of a current vertex with a position predictor selected, based on a coding-cost-based criterion, from a set of position predictors 1502, 1510, and encoding a residue between the current vertex position and the selected position predictor. The set of position predictors is defined based on a value representing the regularity of a vertex position distribution in the 3D model 1508. Also disclosed and claimed is the encoding or decoding of colour attribute data associated to vertices of a 3D model or mesh by predicting the colour attribute associated to a current vertex by choosing a predictor from a set of predictors, based on a coding-cost-based criterion. The set of predictors is determined based on a value representing the regularity of a vertex position distribution in the 3D model. The regularity or irregularity of the 3D object grid can be evaluated either locally or globally by evaluating the predictors used to predict a test set of vertices 1506. A parametric predictor may be used in case of irregularity 1502, while parallelogram or E-parallelogram predictors are advantageously used in case of regularity 1510.
