Title: Systeme et procede permettant de detecter des differences entre  images complexes
Inventor: VOELKL EDGAR
IPC: G03H1/08
Filed: 2003-09-12
Abstract: Système et procédé permettant de détecter des différences entre des images complexes. Ce procédé consiste, à partir d'une première et d'une seconde images complexes, à déterminer s'il existe une différence de valeur d'aberration entre lesdites images. On corrige cette différence de valeur d'aberration en modifiant itérativement la première image complexe par une fonction d'aberration et en comparant la première image complexe modifiée à la seconde image complexe dans une plage de haute fréquence. Le procédé consiste en outre à déterminer si la première image complexe modifiée correspond à la seconde image complexe en modifiant cette dernière avec un rapport basse fréquence de manière à remplacer les composantes basse fréquence de la seconde image complexe par des composantes basse fréquence de la première image complexe. On compare ensuite les composantes haute fréquence de la première image complexe modifiée et la seconde image complexe afin de déterminer si la première image complexe correspond à la seconde image complexe.

IPC: B21C23/21
Filed: 2003-09-26
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the production of metal alloys, especially magnesium alloys, having small particle size in a non-extruded metal alloy body, in addition to a device for carrying out said method and a product which is produced according to the inventive method. Cyclical, location-dependent, alternating charging of partial surfaces of the surface of the non-extruded metal alloy body enables them to be locally compressed and de-compressed. In association with a process temperature of up to 600 DEG C of the metal alloy body, this leads to a reduction in the particle size of the metal alloy on the surface, which in turn leads to a significant improvement of the rollability of the metal alloy.

Inventor: YANG MING-HSUAN
IPC: G06V10/60
Filed: 2003-11-06
Abstract: Taking a set of unlabeled images of a collection of objects acquired under different imaging conditions, and decomposing the set into disjoint subsets corresponding to individual objects requires clustering. Appearance-based methods for clustering a set of images of 3-D objects acquired under varying illumination conditions can be based on the concept of illumination cones. A clustering problem is equivalent to finding convex polyhedral cones in the high-dimensional image space. To efficiently determine the conic structures hidden in the image data, the concept of conic affinity can be used which measures the likelihood of a pair of images belonging to the same underlying polyhedral cone. Other algorithms can be based on affinity measure based on image gradient comparisons operating directly on the image gradients by comparing the magnitudes and orientations of the image gradient.

Abstract: A receiver (100, 200, 300) which selects optimum antennas while
minimizing the number of times of antenna switching is provided.
In this receiver (100, 200, 300), three or more antennas (101,
301a-301d) receive radio waves, and output respective transmission
signals. Two antennas are selected by a selecting unit (102, 303,
304), and the transmission signals output from the two antennas
are demodulated individually and combined. Moreover, the quality
levels of the transmission signals output from the antennas are
detected by a detecting unit (106, 312). When the quality level
of the transmission signal output from at least either one of the
antennas is lower than a predetermined level, a control unit (107,
312) selects two antennas from among the three or more antennas
(101, 301a-301d) based on the quality levels of the transmission
signals output from the antennas. Consequently, when the quality
level of the transmission signal output from a selected antenna
falls below the predetermined level, optimum antennas can be selected
based on the detected quality levels of the transmission signals
with an improvement to the reception quality.

Abstract: An encoder that can detect the presence of noise
occurring within the encoder. The encoder is constructed
by incorporating within the same apparatus: a movement
detecting unit for detecting the movement of a moving
body; a signal processing circuit for processing a
movement detection signal supplied from the movement
detecting unit, and thereby producing an encoder signal
representing the position and/or the amount of
displacement of the moving body; and a noise detecting
unit for detecting noise superimposed on the movement
detection signal. According to this encoder, a noise
voltage generated within the encoder via a stray
capacitance is detected within the encoder and is output
as noise data, so that the noise level can be detected
without requiring the use of an external measuring
device. Further, by outputting encoder data and noise
data occurring at the same instant in time, the
reliability of the encoder data can be judged based on
the condition of the noise level.
