Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for determining the time between the start and finish of competitors, vehicles or the like.
  • a recording camera with a playback device for still images and preferably with a monitor, a timer with display of the running time in the camera image and a light barrier or the like.
  • Sensors are provided in accordance with a finish line and the recording camera delivers still images at a fixed time interval of preferably four hundredths of a second and is set up in alignment with the finish line.
  • This procedure thus results in a very precise and precise target time, for example of the winner of a competition, and also allows us to produce a corresponding document from the still image, i.e. to record this victory process.
  • this results in the actual speed of such a competition in the finish area, so that just behind the first competitor arriving, who due to a certain overlap with the winner cannot trigger the light barrier at the finish, due to the distance difference with respect to their finish time to one hundredth Can be determined exactly second, which is explained in more detail below.
  • the method for determining the target time of a competitor, vehicle or the like that partially overlaps with a competitor that triggers the light barrier. located second or further competitor, vehicle or the like, for which the direct target time triggered by the light barrier does not coincide with the already displayed fade-in of this time the procedure is such that the triggering between the change of two camera images at the time of the finish of the light barrier Runner, competitor, vehicle or the like.
  • the competitor whose target time is to be determined, the distance traveled before and / or after the finish line and the time known from one frame change to the next frame change and the corresponding distance in relation to that in the first still picture before the finish line and / or in the second still picture after divided the section of the finish line and the proportion of time corresponding to the distance before the destination of the then faded in by the light barrier
  • the target time is added and / or the percentage of time behind the finish line is subtracted from the displayed target time (of the first runner or competitor) assigned to the second still image.
  • the target time of the following competitors can also be determined to the nearest hundredth of a second based on the two displayed times and the knowledge of the true target time of the first competitor, without the need for very complex technical, visual and arithmetical measures.
  • the method according to the invention can be designed in such a way that for each competitor, every vehicle or the like, which has at least one picture sequence time compared to a previous competitor or vehicle triggering the light barrier appropriate distance and also a clear distance from a previous competitor or vehicle, again the light barrier or the like. and triggering the fade-in of the second time over at least one image sequence is triggered while crossing the target line.
  • the previously described method for determining the target times of several closely spaced competitors can be used again for a somewhat slower group of competitors, a group of runners or a group of vehicles. It is advantageous that the actual speed of these competitors, which is now lower than that of a first group of sieves, is used as a basis.
  • the method according to the invention can be implemented and carried out in a particularly simple manner by the fact that the respective moving object - competitor, vehicle or the like. - from a still image to a subsequent one, preferably that the next following, covered distance is divided into equal fractions corresponding to one hundredth of a second, with a picture sequence of four hundredths of a second between two successive pictures it is divided into four equal sections, this division being carried out for each object that triggers the light barrier.
  • a further simplification of the implementation of the method is obtained if the distance corresponding to one hundredth of a second in each case with the aid of the two times shown in a still picture, their difference and the distance traveled by the object triggering the light barrier from the finish line to the moment the still picture was taken determined and / or made visible as the resulting speed of the object in the target and this scale or the like. is adapted to the respective speed of the object. With the help of such a scale, the target time of the second runner or competitor can then be read off immediately. This is possible to within a hundredth of a second if the scale divided into sections corresponding to one hundredth of a second is electronically determined or calculated and at least faded into the target images. This is possible very inexpensively with today's modern electronic means.
  • a calibration located in front of the finish line of a fixed distance, for example 1 m from the finish line is used for the calibration and creation of the scale and the resulting scale is used for four hundredths of a second, so that a hundredth of a second a distance of 25 cm and this corresponds to a speed of 90 km / h, and that for all further measurements the scale is electronically determined and calculated and adjusted in each case taking into account a set average distance and the target time, the The camera receives and maintains the location and the lens setting for the subsequent timing for this calibration, and the computer enters the race distance before the start to determine the respective true average speed.
  • the invention and above all to solve the problem of being able to determine the target times as inexpensively as possible and also to be able to document them in the image also include a device for carrying out the above-described method, which is essentially characterized in that a video camera is used as the camera a video recorder, a monitor and preferably a printer are also provided, the camera having shutter speeds of less than one hundredth of a second, preferably one, on its lens has five hundredths of a second or a thousandth of a second, and that the video recorder allows the switching of still pictures back and forth at the moment of a full picture together with superimposed times and that such a still picture with times is printable by the printer and that at least two synchronously running time generators are provided, which are arranged between the camera and the video recorder.
  • the monitor mentioned can be provided in the camera itself or else separately and is used to search for the still image (s) of interest and / or to evaluate the target times directly on the screen itself.
  • Video cameras, video recorders, monitors and printers are relatively inexpensive devices, with only the camera having to take appropriate shutter speeds of the lens into account so that the rapid sequence of images in each case delivers sufficiently sharp images.
  • Printers are also on the market, which can take enough shades of gray into account in order to be able to print out a video camera image with sufficient clarity.
  • the device may also include a scale which, depending on the speed of an object, is divided into uniform sections which are covered by the object in one hundredth of a second, and this scale, seen from the camera, can be cut from the projection of the finish line. It is located in the area of the finish line in such a way that it is also being projected with a first runner or competitor who has slightly exceeded the finish line at the time of the corresponding still image. It then allows the fraction by which this winner is to cross the finish line to be determined immediately and then corresponds to Appropriate division and consideration of the two displayed times from it to allow conclusions to be drawn about the immediately following runners or competitors in the same picture.
  • a scale which, depending on the speed of an object, is divided into uniform sections which are covered by the object in one hundredth of a second, and this scale, seen from the camera, can be cut from the projection of the finish line. It is located in the area of the finish line in such a way that it is also being projected with a first runner or competitor who has slightly exceeded the finish line at the time
  • the scale can be adjusted with respect to its sections corresponding to a distance covered in a hundredth of a second in order to adapt to different speeds of objects to be measured. It can then be adjusted in accordance with the target image with the first competitor, so that the corresponding target times of other competitors can then be read off immediately.
  • Such an adjustable scale can be designed, for example, as an adjustable parallelogram, one side having three further parallels at regular intervals. If this parallelogram is adjusted, these distances of the parallels of the one parallelogram side also change proportionally, so that they form a total of four three spaces which can be set to hundredths of a second.
  • the ease of use of the entire device can be significantly improved without any significant financial outlay if the device has a computing circuit, preferably a microprocessor or the like. has, in which the length of competitors, vehicles or the like. distance traveled is entered and which determines the speed of the respective competitor or vehicle on the basis of the target time determined via the light barrier and electronically calculates the speed-adapted scale and displays it in the image display. To operate, the actual competition route only has to be entered before the time measurement.
  • the device and in particular its associated time value transmitters for the time displays have a reset to zero and are to switch on the running times with a pulse generator, preferably a starting pistol or the like. connectable or connected. This ensures that the at least two synchronously running times are triggered by the starting shot.
  • At least two light barriers preferably working on an infrared basis, can be provided, which are arranged at a distance from one another and above the finish line in such a way that a pulse triggering for stopping the fade in of the target time only if both light barriers are interrupted he follows. This ensures that a competitor who is actually behind the first competitor does not trigger the finish time prematurely by an outstretched hand or arm.
  • a further embodiment of the device can consist in that at least one further light barrier or the like. is provided at a distance from the target for starting the recording process of the camera shortly before the first competitor arrives at the target. This saves the camera running during the entire race and having to take a correspondingly large number of pictures, which also makes evaluation more difficult after the competition.
  • a preferably adjustable time delay element can be provided for the automatic shutdown of the camera, so that not too many pictures are taken beyond the end of the competition.
  • the features and measures of claim 19 allow the scale to be adapted to the perspective reproduction of the target image, and the sections corresponding to 1/100 sec. Can therefore be shortened according to the perspective shortening depending on the distance of the career from the camera.
  • Claim 20 specifies a possibility to set the scale in the simplest possible way to the different speeds of different competitions, so to take into account that the distance corresponding to 1/100 sec. Depends on the respective speed of a competitor or moving object.
  • Claim 21 contains measures that simplify the evaluation and thus accelerate it.
  • a video camera 6 is in turn arranged at a somewhat greater distance than the light barrier receiver 5 in alignment with the target line.
  • This video camera 6 is connected to a video recorder 9 via a line 7 and two time generators 8. At the same time, the light barrier receiver 5 is also connected to these time generators 8. In addition, a time measuring device 10 can also be seen, which is also connected to the time generators 8 and is used for checking.
  • a monitor 11 is connected to the video recorder 9, to which a video image printer 12 connects.
  • Fig. 1 it can now be seen that a total of four runners have reached or crossed the finish line 3 so closely one behind the other that the light barrier could only be triggered once. If the still picture is selected which was created closest to the true target time of the first runner 15, this is already a certain path difference beyond the target, whereby it is indicated in the exemplary embodiment that his target time was three hundredths of a second before the corresponding still picture time , because the fourth runner 16 on the topmost path in FIG. 1 has exactly contact with the target line at the moment of the still image, ie for the sake of clarity, it is shown for the case in which the freeze frame time coincides exactly with the target time of the fourth runner.
  • the second runner 18 was one hundredth of a second slower than the first runner 15 or two hundredths of a second faster than the last runner 16.
  • the third rotor 19 lies exactly between the second and the fourth rotor 16 in order to clarify the principle. A closer arrival than at intervals of one hundredth of a second can hardly be distinguished by normal recordings, so that this results in very high accuracy, for example for a sprint competition.
  • This first group of runners 15, 16, 18 and 19 did not allow the light barrier to be triggered again, so that their times could and had to be determined from the target time of the first runner and the still image time.
  • a fifth runner 20 is so far apart from the fourth runner that it triggers the light barrier again when it reaches the finish line 3 and therefore receives its own target time due to this light barrier, which is also shown in the next still image.
  • Fig. 1 shows how for a very first runner 15 a very precise target time can be derived from a picture and a still picture, although this was only taken after the finish. It also becomes clear that the target times of the two next runners 18 and 19 can be determined using a type of scale that results from the ratio of the distance of the first runner beyond the finish line 3 and the corresponding time difference between his target time and the picture time, while a fourth runner happened to reach the finish line 3 exactly at the time of the still picture, so that its target time corresponds to the still picture time. Furthermore, for competitors arriving later, who were at least four hundredths of a second slower than the first target group and have a clear distance between themselves and the previous competitor, new target times result from the light barrier.
  • FIG. 2 shows a mechanical aid that facilitates the corresponding evaluation.
  • This is practically a mechanical scale 22 which can be adjusted with respect to its sections 23, each corresponding to a distance covered in a hundredth of a second, to adapt to different speeds of objects to be measured.
  • it is designed as an adjustable parallelogram with four joints 24, one side 25 of this parallelogram having three or even four further parallels 26 at regular intervals. If the joints 24 are now actuated, the end points of these sides 25 and 26 move on the arcs 27, from which the apparent change in the distances 23 takes place.
  • These parallel sides of the parallelogram are expediently formed from wires or tensioned threads.
  • This device can easily be placed with one of the parallel wires 26 on the finish line 3 of a printed image or the monitor 11, after which one of the closest parallels is then aligned with the winner's chest in accordance with the time difference between the image time and the target time. which then results in the distances that each correspond to one hundredth of a second in this competition. This practically gives the target times of the competitors 18 and 19 who arrived immediately behind the winner 15.
  • a variant is also made possible that allows a new competition to be started before a previous competition is completely completed, which can be particularly advantageous for elimination runs and numerous participants in order to handle such elimination and preliminary runs in the shortest possible total time to be able to.
  • Such an embodiment can consist in that at least one further timer unit 8 is provided for at least two times to be faded in, which can be triggered after the first times of the timer 8 have been triggered and are still running. For example, after the start After a 400 m run and a certain short running time, which is shorter than the entire running time of this competition, a further field of participants would already be sent on this 400 m distance and would then via such an additional timer unit 8 with regard to the arrival and finish times evaluated, which is not shown in the drawing for the sake of simplicity, but could be arranged parallel to the timer unit 8 shown.
  • the times of a competition could already be partially used in order to start and overlap another competition and still allow a precise evaluation of this next competition.
  • the second or further competition in each case would then have the target times from this further timer unit in the target images caused by the light barrier at the time of crossing the target.
  • FIGS. 3 to 8 Modified configurations of the aids with a scale 22 for evaluating the corresponding target images, also using the image perspective, are shown in FIGS. 3 to 8 in two different exemplary embodiments. Here again, sections corresponding to one hundredth of a second are provided as sections 23 between evaluation lines 17.
  • the corresponding evaluation scale 22 can be projected or placed on the target image 28 or the screen of the monitor 11 displaying this target image.
  • Fig. 3 illustrates in principle that the evaluation scale 22 in this case a mark 29 which can be made to overlap with the target line 3 (cf. also FIGS. 4 and 6) and is preferably oriented on both sides thereof and preferably on both sides thereof Markings 30 in each one Distance 23 corresponding to hundredths of a second, in the exemplary embodiment has four such lines 30 on both sides, which are inclined at an angle to one another and to the middle marking line 29 and all meet at one vanishing point 31, which vanishing point 31 addresses the parallax or perspective the lines 30 causes or takes into account which results from the location of the camera 4 for recording the target image 28.
  • This scale acc. 3 can be easily adapted to different speeds, which is determined according to the above explanations during the evaluation, in that the scale 22 with the oblique marking lines 30 is adjustable in the orientation direction of the marking 29 corresponding to the target line 3 and areas are smaller Distances 23 corresponding to a lower speed or areas of larger distances 23 corresponding to a larger determined speed of the competitors 15 to 21 can be brought into overlap with the target image 28.
  • a subdivision 32 can also be seen in FIG.
  • the evaluation scale 22 is now set with respect to the speed division in such a way that 30 km / h from the division 32 overlaps with the speed display.
  • the marking lines 30 are already in the correct relation to the competitor to be evaluated, so that in the event of a nearly simultaneous crossing of a number of competitors, analogously to FIG already described above - can be determined.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 A practical embodiment of this scale 22 according to FIG. 3 is shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 for evaluating target images 28 on the screen of a monitor 11.
  • FIGS. 6 to 8 Another embodiment, which is also particularly suitable for evaluating printed target images 28 or photographs, is shown in FIGS. 6 to 8.
  • the marking lines 29 and 30 with the scale 22 having a common vanishing point 31 are arranged on a transparent support which is arranged in front of a screen of the monitor 11 and / or above a printed target image 28.
  • the evaluation scale 22 is arranged on a transparent film 34a as a carrier, which is wound on both sides of the image or screen area to be evaluated on two parallel winding spools 34, the distance between which is the height of the evaluable image area visible between them corresponds.
  • the coils 34 can also be axially adjustable and adjustable, so that the entire scale 22 also in the direction of movement of the competitors can be set very precisely, so that the base line 29 can be set exactly in accordance with the front edge of the finish line 3, as can be seen in FIGS. 4 and 6.
  • FIG. 6 to 8 show a laterally open sliding guide 36 for inserting target images 28, above which the transparent, in this case rigid evaluation part 37 having the evaluation scale 22 is arranged.
  • This evaluation part 37 can be pivoted about an axis 38 relative to the image guide 36 in order to facilitate the insertion of the images 28.
  • the sliding guide 36 for the images 28 can be adjusted and fixed relative to the evaluation part 37 on an edge holder 39 (see FIG. 8) in the direction of the line 29, in the exemplary embodiment it can be clamped by means of a clamping screw 40.
  • a particular speed can be easily obtained ordered scale range relative to the competition tracks 2 shown on the target image 28 can be set and fixed in accordance with the determined speed.
