Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of autonomous passive systems, mobile or fixed, using a means of shooting to detect the exceeding of a speed limit by providing proof of the identification and speed of the vehicle.
- An improved version of the prior art is to use an autonomous system combining a radar and a digital or video camera or both.
- This system requires qualified personnel to pilot it and unfortunately preserves in most installations the aforementioned limitations. Some provisions do not have such limitations as for example their implementation above the road or on decks with detection of the vehicle from the rear.
- Another known technique is to use an intelligent system installed in the vehicle, controlling the speed and location of the vehicle by simultaneously comparing them to an internal database that contains a map and speed limits for all road locations. Thus, if the driver reaches the speed limit in the area considered, the system warns him and if it exceeds it, said overrun is recorded on a memory card which is read by the competent authority in well defined times. Unfortunately, this system is expensive and requires a substantial infrastructure by the traffic control authority for card management and updating.
- a new technique in connection with the CY2520 patent uses a camera having an adjustable shutter that allows to grasp the movement of the vehicle, which has a speed greater than the limit speed, a few centimeters during the exposure time.
- the vehicle being provided with two lamps, or other markings, of known distance, which leave a trace during the exposure time. The length traces left and the fact that they meet when the vehicle exceeds the speed limit, indicates that there has been overtaking. The vehicle speed can then be calculated as a function of the exposure time.
- the advantages of this technique are that it is passive and therefore undetectable and provides a photographic proof of exceedance.
- the disadvantages are that it requires specific markings on the vehicle.
- WO97 / 16806 which discloses comparable elements for the same purpose of use; however, it performs a conversion of the measured distance into pixels and compensates for this distance to take into account the angle of inclination of the camera with respect to the horizontal and the height of the license plate on the vehicle.
- the present invention deals with an autonomous passive system for detecting vehicle overshoot of the image-limiting speed limit, which is small, which can be placed either sideways or upwards. of the road, undetectable by the driver of the arriving vehicle or by a radar detection device and which does not require any additional means on the vehicle.
- the system according to the invention essentially comprises:
- a shooting means capable of providing an output in the form of a digitized image
- a calculating means of the processor type, capable of analyzing the images comprising overspeeds;
- V (Xrr / T) (3600/1000), in which: - T (expressed in ms) is the time elapsed between two consecutive images of the license plate (1) taken by the shooting means (20);
- the system in question performs a conversion of the distance measured in pixels and compensates for this distance to take into account the angle between the optical axis of the shooting medium and the axis of the road by using as a reference of the height characters of the plate. It therefore seems new and original compared to US3120992 and WO97 / 16806. According to particular features of the invention,
- the shooting means takes the first image from the reception of the detection signal of the presence of a vehicle; -
- the shooting means consists of two cameras, capable of providing an output in the form of digitized image, arranged one above the other and having the same visual field with respect to the vehicle.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic view of the license plate
- FIG. 2 is a schematic view of the system according to the invention positioned at the edge of the road for taking pictures of the front of a vehicle moving on a road;
- FIG. 3 is a simplified view of FIG. 2 showing the trigonometric elements related to the actual displacement of the vehicle and to the trace thereof on the image during the same time interval;
- FIG. 4 is a schematic view showing the horizontal displacement of a typical point of the vehicle between two shots;
- FIG. 5 is a diagrammatic view showing two images of the license plate taken, at fractions of a second, or even milliseconds, of interval, by two means of shooting placed at one above the other ;
- FIG. 6 is a view grouping the license plate of FIG. 5 expressed in pixels and the trigonometric elements of FIG. 3 with a view to establishing the offense report;
- FIG. 7 is a schematic view of the system according to the invention positioned at the edge of the road for shooting from the rear of a vehicle moving on a road;
- FIG. 8 illustrates the configuration of FIG. 3 in which the images are taken at the rear of the vehicle along a known axis
- Figure 9 is similar to Figure 2 but applies to two lanes while using the same angle between the optical axis of the camera and the road.
- FIGS. 1 to 9. The autonomous passive system for the detection, by image capture, of the passing by a vehicle of the authorized speed limit, according to the invention, is detailed by means of FIGS. 1 to 9. It can operate in any situation of brightness.
- Figure 1 illustrates a license plate (1) provided with identification data (2) of the vehicle whose character dimensions, such as width and height, are initially known.
- FIG. 2 illustrates the complete representation of the various constituent subassemblies of the invention as arranged on the site, namely: means (21) for detecting the presence of a vehicle (22);
- - shooting means (20) capable of providing an output as a digitized image
- the vehicle comprises, at the front and at the rear, a license plate (1) having alphanumeric characters of known dimensions;
- the detecting means (21) is arranged before the photographing means (20) at the edge of the road at a point where the first image is to be taken as soon as it detects the presence of a vehicle (22) for transmitting a presence signal to said means (20).
- Said detection means can be made by any type of device and can be placed indifferently above or on the sides of the road.
- the two images are taken, by one or two cameras, to fractions of seconds, or even milliseconds, of interval, in a time chosen to give the desired speed of analysis in pixels.
- the reception time of the two consecutive images increases, the distance traveled by the vehicle during this time also increases and the analysis of km / h for each pixel decreases.
- the distance traveled by the vehicle must not be such that the characters in the second image appear wider than in the first because they have no common reference.
- the means (20) are placed, on the roadside, with the same optical axis (62) in the horizontal plane, at an angle, with respect to the axis (66) of the road, of the order of 30 °. They are superimposed and very close to each other. Ideally, a single means (20) should take two images with a time interval of the order of a few milliseconds which is not possible to date with existing devices on the market.
- the means (20) are preferably associated with the processor (23) which immediately detects the infringements and which preferably transmits them via the communication means (24) to the control center. He can immediately transmit "sms" on the driver's mobile phone so that he immediately reduces his speed and / or send the registration number to an electronic display board placed on the side of the road. He can also prepare a report on the offense that he sends to the driver by email.
- FIG. 3 illustrates the relationship between the distance (63) traveled by the vehicle (22) during the period considered and the distance (64) recorded on the image and depending on the optical axis (62) of the cameras (20) relative to the axis (66) of movement of the vehicle, when the camera is disposed on the edge of the road.
- the first picture is taken in the position of the vehicle as illustrated and the second at the axis (67).
- the optical axis (62) of the camera forms with the axis (66) of movement of the vehicle, an angle (65), or ( ⁇ ) through the center of the vehicle and the license plate.
- the angle (65) is approximately the same for all the points of said plate because the distance of the means (20) relative to the vehicle is greater than that of the center of the plate relative to its edges at the point of considering parallel between them the corresponding axes.
- angles extremes of the vehicle with the center of the means (20) are substantially different. If the plate is not centered, the program knows the angle corresponding to the optical axis.
- the center of the vehicle appears in the center of the optical axis.
- the center of the vehicle appears at the horizontal distance (64) offset from the center of the image.
- the distance traveled by the vehicle can be calculated using the distance (64) recorded on the image and the axis (66).
- Figure 4 illustrates the vehicle (22) and two different focal levels (71) and (72) where both images are taken.
- the points (74) and (76) are in the center of the first and second images, respectively.
- the mark (73) which is located in the center of the vehicle (22) appears at the center (74) of the first image and at the point (75) of the second image, separated by the horizontal distance (64), when the drawings are bunk.
- the second image has a focal plane (72) that is captured when the vehicle has traveled the distance (63) and has reached the vertical level (68).
- the focal plane (72) perpendicularly intercepts the optical axis (69). If the two images are superimposed on another point (74) of the first image, it appears on (76) of the second image and has moved by a distance (64) corresponding to the horizontal displacement of the other vehicle. the two images.
- the assumption that the axes (69) and (62) are parallel remains valid because the distance between the means (20) and the vehicle is thirty to one hundred times greater than the distance between the levels (71) and (72).
- Figure 5 illustrates a small portion of the two images taken showing only the license plate.
- FIG. 6 illustrates an example which contains: the images, according to FIG. 5, of the license plate specifying, in pixels, the height of a character and the horizontal displacement thereof;
- the angle ⁇ will be corrected by means of a table of values stored in the processor.
- FIG. 7 illustrates the configuration of FIG. 2 in which the images are taken at the rear of the vehicle after the presence detection means has transmitted the appropriate signal to the means (20).
- FIG. 8 illustrates the configuration of FIG. 3 in which the images are taken at the rear of the vehicle along a known axis.
- the scanned displacement on the images corresponds to the vertical displacement (64) and the actual displacement of the vehicle corresponds to the calculated displacement (63).
- the system can be positioned on each lane of a multi-lane road with pictures taken from the front or rear of vehicles. It can also be positioned high on the side of the road and take pictures over vehicles to calculate the vertical displacement of images while ignoring the horizontal one.
- Figure 9 is similar to Figure 2 but with two presence detection means (21) and (26) for two traffic lanes while using the same angle between the optical axis of the means (20) and the road.
- the system may store images but, in an advantageous embodiment, it may comprise communication means (24), such as for example a GSM telephone, capable of sending the photos to an authorized vehicle based on the zone in order to transmit to the interested in a call or email regarding the offense.
- the system can, in an even more advantageous embodiment, integrate in a same module, the means (20), the computer (23) and the communication means (24).
- the system according to the invention combines the advantages related to the portable and low cost aspects of autonomous systems. He brings proof of the offense to the competent authorities. It can be placed on the sides or at the top of the road under any circumstances.
