    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for exchanging data between drones of a drone swarm comprising at least four drones, the method comprising: emitting, by each drone, a signal comprising data to be emitted comprising the identifier of the drone, the direction and the identifier of each signal received at the preceding moment by the drone, receiving, by a drone, called receiver drone, the signal emitted by another drone of the swarm, determining, by the receiver drone, the direction of each received signal, and determining, by the receiver drone, for each received signal, the relative position of the drone corresponding to the identifier of the received signal.

    摘要: An optronic vision apparatus with which a land vehicle is intended to be equipped, includes a panoramic image sensor, at least one orientable camera, having a better resolution in a field of view that is smaller than the field of view of the panoramic image sensor, and an image-displaying device; wherein it also comprises a data processor that is configured or programmed to: receive at least one first image from the panoramic image sensor and one second image from the orientable camera; from the first and second images, synthesize a composite image in which at least one section of the second image is embedded in a section of the first image; and transmit the composite image to the image-displaying device. An armored vehicle equipped with such an optronic vision apparatus. A method by such an optronic apparatus is provided.

    摘要: A system for simultaneously acquiring images in color and in the near-infrared comprising a single matrix sensor comprises a first, second and third type of pixels sensitive to respective visible colors and a fourth type of panchromatic pixel, these pixels being also sensitive in the near-infrared; and a signal processing circuit configured to: reconstruct a first set of monochromatic images from signals generated by the pixels of the first, second and third type, respectively; reconstruct a panchromatic image from signals generated by the pixels of the fourth type; reconstruct a second set of monochromatic images from signals generated by the pixels of the first, second and third types, and from the panchromatic image; reconstruct an image in colors from the images of the first set and from the panchromatic image, and reconstruct at least one image in the near-infrared from the images of the second set and from the panchromatic image. A visible-near-infrared bispectral camera comprises such an acquisition system and method implemented by means of such a camera.

    摘要: A fuze for detecting an obstacle in proximity, an obstacle in proximity defined as being an obstacle exhibiting a minimum distance from the fuze, wherein the fuze comprises at least: an emission device emitting a light beam directed forward of the fuze; a reception device detecting the luminous fluxes in a cone directed forward of the fuze, the light beam and the cone having relative orientations such that they cross one another; a detection volume being the volume where the light beam crosses the cone so that when an obstacle is in the detection volume, the light emitted by the emission device is backscattered toward the detection device, an obstacle in proximity being detected by detecting the maximum of backscattered power, the reception cone is centered on the axis of the fuze.
