- the purpose of this type of image processing device is to output a signal which carries for each pixel significant information of the result of the application of recognition or selection criteria according to classification. These criteria are predefined or developed by the image processing methods and devices themselves.
- Each STN module 51 a oo •• - 51 a33 receives data by a data bus 56 and is interconnected to the others by a retro-annotation bus 57 conveying results after classification.
- API software application programming interface
- This API software, as well as the application program 25, is managed by the electronic processor 23 which is in relation to all the STN modules by the bus 55 which also transmits in return the results of the calculations of the STN modules.
- the entire GVPP processor is therefore controlled by the electronic processor or control unit 23, of the microcontroller type, which determines, as a function of an application program 25, those of the parameters DMVT, VMVT, L, T, S, pO, p 1, p2 p 15 which are processed at a given time by a STN unit or a group of dedicated multipurpose histogram units and as a function of initialization (INIT), write (WRITE) and end (END) signals produced by a sequencer 52.
- Each histogram calculation unit is connected to a data bus 56 which supplies the various parameters to be processed, and to a retro-annotation bus 57 which supplies the classification signal of each STN neuron and the learning function signals to the various other STN neurons.
- Each histogram calculation unit includes a memory, a classifier and a retro-annotation unit.
- Each unit 1 a is capable of having automatic classification functions of anticipation and learning.
- the generic visual perception processor (GVPP) 520 thus formed can be integrated on a single semiconductor substrate.
- the number of versatile histogram calculation units depends on the application and the technologies for manufacturing semiconductor components available.
- the means used allow continuous sequencing
- Each pixel point of the image
- P the luminance and / or chrominance
- i, j, t the instantaneous position
- i and j define the spatial position within the image matrix and t sequence or time.
- the consecutive P values are processed in the time domain (in a time processing unit in the case of a dedicated GVPP circuit) for extraction of parameters related to each of the pixels, said parameters being chosen from the luminance, the hue, the saturation, direction of movement, speed of movement, edge orientation, curvature of edges, etc.
- a dynamic recruitment process for STN modules will be implemented over the sequences to allow active perception of the elements image, recruitment is done according to objectives and in particular a priori knowledge (a face) or not (generic perceptual analysis) of the type of element that can be found in the image.
- FIG. 5 represents an example of a video surveillance application of an infant 103 who is sleeping with parents who want to be warned at a distance from his alarm clock.
- Any movement 1 01 of the baby and / or noise picked up by the camera and / or the microphone of the telephone 1 1 0 are analyzed and a diagnosis is carried out using the application program, by the mobile telephone 1 1 0 of the invention which has been posed so that it perceives the scene 1 02 by its camera and its microphone, and transmits 121 an alarm and the scene by means of reception 122 and 123 of the telephone network 120 to a second mobile telephone 130 of the parents and corresponding to the call number requested by the diagnostic part of the application.
- the second telephone 1 30 which can be a conventional portable telephone, makes it possible to view the scene by a screen 131 and to listen to the sounds by a sound reproduction means 132.
- the second telephone 130 can be a fixed telephone with or without video means and, in the latter case, only the baby's alarm and sound will be received.
- the second telephone 130 can be replaced by computer means of the microcomputer type with wired or even radio link or, even a portable telephone-computer, and in particular by means of the INTERNET computer network which allows the transmission of multimedia data including images. and sounds.
- an INTERNET server will interface within the network 120 between the telephone of the invention 110 and the computer means replacing the conventional portable telephone 130.
- the telephone of the invention can also be applied to the surveillance of an apartment or a building, of a vehicle for example in the event of fire, theft or other, of a swimming pool within the framework of prevention of drowning thanks to the detection of sounds (falling into water, lapping) and images: moving mass or not on the surface or depth of the liquid.
- the telephone of the invention can also find an application in teleconferencing and, for example, being able to automatically center on an interlocutor whose lips move, the GVPP analyzing the faces and parts of the face (eyes, mouth %) and the diagnosis being programmed to detect the movement of the face part corresponding to the lips according to an anthropomorphic model.
- the alarm receiving station (1 30) may for example also be an improved telephone of the firefighter or police or central station type. monitoring.
- the receiving device can be a specific device.
- the telephone of the invention makes it possible to control, as a function of the video and / or audio analysis and diagnosis, a peripheral positioning device in the space of said phone.
- the positioning of the telephone can relate to the orientation of the shooting (the telephone being able to turn on itself to orient the camera in a given direction), the telephone then remaining at a given location.
- the positioning may also relate, in combination or not with the orientation, to the choice of location in the space of the telephone, the latter being able to move in said space.
- positioning device from a simple rotary support that can be controlled along one or two axes, a mobile device moving on a surface (motorized trolley controlled), even in a three-dimensional space (airship, plane or submarine ordered in a reduced model). It is understood that the notion of positioning is relative and that if it is in general the telephone of the invention which is positioned in a fixed space (is oriented or moves in space to obtain a direction and / or origin of different point of view), we consider the case where space moves and we try to keep a direction and / or an origin from a constant point of view.
- the latter case can, for example, correspond to an automated lookout with a video telephone placed on the front of a ship that can be rolled or pitched and intended to prevent a collision by video obstacle detection: the module analysis and diagnostic is then configured to detect bodies floating forward of the ship towards the horizon.
- FIG. 6 is thus represented, under the general reference 1, a telephone such as that of FIG. 2 with a connector 1 01 for connection for recharging the power supply 1 0 by the line V and for data exchange communication by the OM link shown here unidirectional from the control unit to the outside but which more generally allows bidirectional data exchanges.
- the telephone 1 is positioned in a stable manner in a first support 100.
- This first support 100 is itself disposed in a second support 106 in an angularly orientable manner by controlled positioning means, the second support being assumed to be placed on a fixed location of space in this version.
- the telephone 1 is therefore fixed relative to the first support 1 00 and the first support 1 00 can be oriented angularly relative to the second support 1 06. Consequently, the telephone and therefore the image shooting can be oriented angularly in space.
- the support system presented thus makes it possible to maintain, orient according to positioning instructions and, incidentally, power (recharge) the telephone 1.
- the controlled positioning means comprise a motor control circuit 103 acting on two motors 104 and 105 by motor control signals CM.
- One of the motors referenced 1 05 is fixed immobilized by its stator on the second support 106 and its rotor drives the stator of the other motor referenced 104 whose rotor is fixed to the first support 1 00.
- the line V and the connection OM of the connector 1 01 reach the second support 1 06 through the first support 1 00.
- the second support 106 includes a charger 102 (to recharge the telephone 1) receiving an external supply, in particular the sector of the public electrical distribution network, and which also allows the supply of the controlled positioning means (control circuit 1 03 and motors 104 and 1 05).
- the positioning instructions from the control unit 8 of the telephone 1 and acting on the control circuit 103 are conveyed by the link OM.
- the initial source of the positioning instructions is preferably the analysis and diagnostic module which uses the link D towards the control member (for example followed by a person or a face). It is however possible to transmit by telephone, from the telephone network, such positioning instructions which are then received by the receiver 4 of the telephone 1 and sent by the link OM via the control member 8.
- the orientation can for example be obtained from another telephone by acting on its keys or, in the case of the use of computer means, in particular INTERNET, action on one or more display cursors (mouse) of a computer terminal on the telephone network with computer gateway.
- the line V and the link OM are preferably embodied, in particular by a wired link, or even by or associating one or more rotary contacts (the first and the second support being movable between them).
- the V line and the OM link are dematerialized, for example an electromagnetic induction means allowing recharging of the power supply of the telephone and the OM link being effected by radio waves (for example BLUETOOTH®) , the second support then further comprising compatible radio communication means connected to the motor control circuit 1 03.
- the rotors of the motors are offset by 90 ° in order to allow efficient scanning of the space of shooting.
- a maximum angular displacement that is to say 360 °, will be ensured for the plane of the space where the elements of scene images are most likely to be found.
- due to mechanical constraints, in particular the presence of the supports there are areas where shooting is not possible.
- the motors are preferably stepper motors.
- An indexing means (origin position marker) can be implemented either directly on the rotors, or, in a more complex manner, by image analysis.
- the indexing means makes it possible to know a reference position from which the displacement can be determined (number of steps for stepping motors, which corresponds to a computable angular displacement).
- the indexing means in a variant, can return a signal to the telephone 1 by the bidirectional OM link.
- the positioning interface may also include other sensors such as, for example, angular, speed and / or acceleration, battery level or power supply sensors, the information of which is sent back to the telephone. .
- Figure 7 shows the arrangement of the telephone 1 of the invention in the first support 100, itself even in the second support 106.
- the telephone 1 In the rest position, the telephone 1 is substantially vertical and the camera's shooting means has a substantially horizontal shooting axis.
- the motor 105 the first support 100 can rotate relative to the second support 106 allowing the shooting axis to scan the space in a substantially horizontal plane.
- the motor 104 it makes it possible to tilt the first support 1 00 with respect to the second support 106, that is to say to cause the telephone 1 to leave its substantially vertical position for positions approaching the 'horizontal, the shooting axis then moving from bottom to top and vice versa.
- the second support is arranged at a fixed location in space.
- the telephone 1 can be made mobile in space by using support (s) which have means of moving in said space.
- the external power supply is not permanently connected, unless there is a reduced displacement radius (the length of the external power supply wire) and that a supply means autonomous, in particular with type of rechargeable battery, is implemented in the mobile support of the telephone.
- the device in FIGS. 7 and 8 further comprises, on the underside of the second support, rolling and directional means controlled by means of the link OM.
- the telephone 1 can be arranged substantially vertically on a support carriage comprising drive and directional wheels (an additional means of controlled tilting of the telephone which may possibly be implemented).
- the displacement means controlled on the ground are adapted to the envisaged uses, as simple rolling means (wheels, caterpillar) or articulated legs, suction cups ...
- the means of movement will be adapted to said space.
- Conventional robotic management tools can be usefully implemented in such applications.
- the perception processor in as a video image compression system as described in FR98 / 16679 and WO99 / 00425 in order to improve the quality and the fluidity of the images transmitted by the telephone 1, 1 10, a greater quantity of compressed information can be transmitted on the transmission channel.
- the perception processor can be reconfigured to operate in video compression.
- the reception means 130 and / or the network server in the case where I NTERNET is used for connection with the remote device 1 30, compatible decoding means will be placed there.
- a connection between two telephones of the invention is particularly advantageous since they both comprise means with a perception processor compatible and configurable for compression / decompression.
- the invention can be declined in various ways and in particular with regard to the diagnoses as a function of the analyzes which can produce actions of various types: simple alarms, transmission of computer messages, transmission of video data and / or sound, or even multimedia to various equipment of the telephone or even computer type, via a radio-telephone network to which the cell phone of the invention.
- the applications of the invention are also multiple, both for private or family surveillance with a conventional video portable telephone comprising the analysis and diagnostic module as for professional applications and in this case, the telephone of the invention can be a specific achievement, in particular a militarized mobile phone or in the form of an industrial module.
