Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device not mandatory monitoring of the absence of bodies in danger in a pool. There is presumption and triggering of a alert when absence monitoring is no longer checked.
- the reaction time is important and each ten seconds before the alert can be decisive for the person in danger.
- Figure 2 shows the wave absorption coefficients electromagnetic measured in pure water.
- the weakening per cm of water crossing As an indication, the weakening on 10m of water and at the wavelength of 0.8 microns, the limit of the visible infrared is 0.000043.
- the coefficients low attenuation corresponding to the blue-violet zone are seriously affected by the turbidity of the water when many bathers evolve.
- the swimming pool is observed through portholes and that it is busy, it can be difficult, if not impossible, to discern a bather placed at 25 or 30m.
- US-A-5043705 is written in very general terms and is based on measuring the distance between the sensor and the possible obstacle to identify its presence. he mentions various components including a sonar well suited for detect a body placed between the sonar and a wall but which will have enormous difficulty in detecting a body placed nearby of a wall the latter creating many reflections. he the same goes for radio frequency detection, the propagation is very problematic in water. This patent also mentions lasers without specifying the mode of operation. In addition, it lists general methods noise elimination because its objective is the identification of the stationary object, while our proposition is based on the permanent detection of a fixed pattern, whose properties mathematics are known, and whose absence alone allows generate an alarm whatever the contour of the obstacle.
- the present invention is defined by the claims and is based on the certainty of detection of the absence of obstacles through the use of the barrier principle luminous uses IT and in particular so-called image processing algorithms and offers solutions allowing automatic monitoring of the pool for the purpose reduce the time elapsed before the alert and improve the traditional surveillance.
- FIG. 1 represents a swimming pool equipped with two cameras 1, each sweeping the surfaces located at the bottom of the walls.
- the observed surfaces are marked with patterns allowing to delimit work areas and ensure vision through cameras. Patterns can take the form a horizontal line 2 or even a succession of zones contrasting narrow 2 or wider allowing the monitored volume 4 to be increased or isolated patterns 3. Failure to detect these patterns has the effect of release an alarm corresponding to the presence of an obstacle or when the surveillance system is switched off.
- the first case is particularly well suited for large swimming pools depth that is to say when the feet of bathers do not only occasionally touch the bottom. In this case, it suffices observe the mobility and duration of obstructing objects upon detection of the pattern corresponding to the presence of a body on the bottom of the pool and release an alarm when the danger criteria are present.
- the second treatment case is better suited to swimming pools of shallow depth.
- it is a question of reconstituting the flat image of the bottom of the pool according to the information received from the various cameras and this by proceeding the intersection of the sets representing bodies (a little the way of a scanner). From this image it is possible to obtain additional information corresponding to the floor area and which is a function of the size of the bodies.
- the proposed processing consists in associating with each of the pixels representing a part of a body, a new variable called "stillness".
- the immobility of the pixel depends on the number of cycles corresponding to the observation of said pixel in the active state. This last active state corresponding to the presence of a body in danger.
- Stillness grows so linear or not depending on the number of cycles where the pixel is active and decreases non-linearly when observed inactive, thus creating a phenomenon of afterglow.
- An alarm can be generated when a number of pixels next to each other are the object of a high immobility this corresponding to a volume-time relationship that can be the object of a person in danger.
- the number of cameras must be adapted depending on the size swimming pools or the desire to reduce the effects due to the obstruction of one or the other of them.
- Figure 3 uses a light emitter 5.
- the beam emitted 6 is reflected by a mirror 7 itself controlled by a motor 8.
- the beam scans, depending on the rotation of the motor, the bottom of the pool, it is returned by a reflector (always in 9) to return to mirror 7 and is seized by a receiver placed next to the transmitter 5.
- the light signals can be modulated in order to differentiate from ambient signals.

Claims (9)
- Système de surveillance de piscine, comportant au moins un dispositif de surveillance de l'absence de corps en danger dans une piscine constitué d'un moyen d'observation des zones critiques le dit moyen d'observation étant branché à un ordinateur traitant les informations obtenues et capable de discerner l'absence de corps immergés et immobiles parmi d'autres corps et de signaler le danger lorsque la durée d'immobilité a dépassé un critère donné ledit moyen d'observation des zones critiques travaille dans le domaine des ondes visibles et est constitué d'émetteurs et récepteurs agencés de manière telle que la zone observée est située dans un volume proche et parallèle au fond de la piscine; ledit système comporte également au moins un motif fixe constitué de zones contrastées sur, ou destiné à être appliqué sur au moins une portion de paroi de piscine, et ledit système est caractérisé en ce qu'il surveille ladite absence par la détection permanente dudit motif.
- Système de surveillance selon la revendication 1 caractérisé en ce que pour des raisons de sécurité, il est mis en place un moyen permettant de détecter et de signaler que les rayons lumineux peuvent ou ne peuvent pas traverser la zone à observer, que ce soit en raison de la présence d'un corps ou pour tout autre raison liée à la visibilité.
