The invention relates to a method for determining the speeds of vehicles (2) passing a detection unit (1), wherein the speed of the passing vehicles is measured by a measuring device (3), and in the event that the reading of the speed of a vehicle exceeds a specified maximum speed an imaging and processing device is prompted to take a first picture and with some time delay (ΔT) a second picture of said vehicle using a digital image sensor, so as to calculate a calculated value from said two images, and wherein in the determination of the speed of the detection unit the reading and the calculated value are taken into consideration, wherein the time delay (ΔT) is specified as a function of the reading of the speed. In order to speed up the signal processing operation, only part of the image information, such as only every second, third, or fourth line, is used for determining the speed.

An object monitoring system includes a camera node (2) for monitoring movement of an object (18) to determine an acquisition time when an image of the object (18) is to be acquired and acquiring the image at the predetermined time. The system includes a camera (6) which is able to monitor moving objects (18), and image processing circuitry (10), responsive to the camera (6), which is able to detect a predetermined moving object (18) from other moving and static objects. From the image acquired, information identifying the object (18) can be automatically extracted. The system is particularly suited to monitoring and discriminating large vehicles (18) from other vehicles over a multi-lane roadway, and acquiring high resolution images of the large vehicles (18) at a predetermined acquisition point (22). Image data acquired by a plurality of camera nodes (2) can be sent over a digital telecommunications network (45) to a central image processing system (42) which can extract vehicle identifying data, such as licence plate details, and obtain information on vehicle travel between nodes (2).
摘要:
The present invention is an improvement on a system for double-pulsed particle velocimetry in which small scattering particles (20) are illuminated by two short pulses of laser light and then images are recorded photographically (18) to produce a record from which the particle velocity can be determined by measuring the displacement of the particle images. The known system involves a method and apparatus for resolving the ambiguity which exists with respect to the direction of displacement of particle images so recorded by multiple exposures on film or videographic media. The directional ambiguity is resolved by means of shifting the image field between exposures by an amount (XS) that is greater than any negative displacement occuring in the image field. In this way, all recorded displacement are positive, and negative displacements are obtained from the measurements. The present improvement incorporates an electro-optical device (34) that performs the desired image shifting function, without mechanical motion, in place of the shifting produced by rotating mirrors and the like.
