Definitions
- the present invention relates to a non-binding device for monitoring the absence of bodies in danger in a swimming pool. An alert is presumed and triggered when the absence monitoring is no longer verified.
- the reaction time is important and each ten seconds elapsed before the alert can be decisive for the person in danger.
- Figure 2 shows the absorption coefficients of electromagnetic waves measured in pure water.
- the weakening per cm of water crossing As an indication, the attenuation on 10m of water and at the wavelength of 0.8 microns or the limit of visible infrared is 0.000043.
- the low attenuation coefficients corresponding to the blue-violet zone are seriously altered by the turbidity of the water when many bathers are moving.
- the pool is observed through portholes and it is heavily occupied, it can be difficult or even impossible to discern a bather placed at 25 or 30m.
- the patent US-A-5043705 is written in very general terms and is based on the measurement of the distance between the sensor and the possible obstacle to identify its presence. He mentions various components including a sonar well suited to detect a body placed between the sonar and a wall but which will have enormous difficulties in detecting a body placed very close to a wall, the latter creating numerous reflections. The same is true of radio frequency detection, the propagation of which is very problematic in water. This patent also mentions lasers without however specifying the operating mode. Besides the problem of this mode it is useful to cite that a laser in the red will be of little use in the water given the attenuation while lasers which approach green or even blue are very bulky, are very expensive and only have a short lifespan.
- this patent lists general methods of eliminating noise because its objective is the identification of the stationary object, whereas our proposal is based on the permanent detection of a fixed pattern, the mathematical properties of which are known, and the absence of which alone makes it possible to generate an alarm whatever the contour of the obstacle.
- the present invention based on the certainty of detection of the absence of obstacle by the use of the principle of light barriers calls upon data processing and in particular with the algorithms known as of image processing and proposes solutions making it possible to monitor automatically the pool in order to reduce the time elapsed before the alert and improve traditional monitoring.
- FIG. 1 represents a swimming pool equipped with two cameras 1, each scanning the surfaces located at the bottom of the walls.
- the surfaces observed are marked with patterns to delimit the work areas and ensure the through vision of the cameras.
- the patterns can take the form of a horizontal line 2 or even of a succession of contrasting zones of small width 2 or of a greater width making it possible to increase the monitored volume 4 or even of isolated patterns 3.
- the non-detection of these reasons have the effect of releasing an alarm corresponding to the presence of an obstacle or to the deactivation of the surveillance system.
- the first case is particularly well suited for very deep pools, that is to say when the feet of bathers only occasionally touch the bottom. In this case, it suffices to observe the mobility and the duration of the objects which obstruct the detection of the pattern corresponding to the presence of a body on the bottom of the pool and to release an alarm when the danger criteria are present. .
- the second treatment case is better suited to shallow pools.
- it is a question of reconstituting the planar image of the bottom of the swimming pool according to the information received from the various cameras and this by proceeding to the intersection of the assemblies representing bodies (a bit like a scanner ). From this image, it is possible to obtain additional information corresponding to the surface on the ground 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 “immobility”.
- the immobility of the pixel is a function of 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.
- the immobility increases linearly or not depending on the number of cycles in which the pixel is active and decreases non-linearly when it is observed inactive, thus creating a phenomenon of persistence.
- An alarm can be generated when a number of adjacent pixels 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 is to be adapted according to the size of the pools or the desire to reduce the effects due to the obstruction of one or the other of them.
- a simplified algorithm and the use of a single camera, possibly supplemented with mirrors or reflectors, may be sufficient for monitoring a swimming pool of lesser importance such as a hotel or private swimming pool.
- Figure 3 uses a light emitter 5.
- the emitted ray 6 is reflected by a mirror 7 itself driven by a motor 8.
- the ray scans, depending on the rotation of the motor, the bottom of the pool.
- the ray can end its course on a longitudinal light trap 9 made up of a bar of a translucent material comprising a light receiver connected to the computer or it can be returned by a reflector (always in 9) to return to the mirror 7 and be captured by a receiver placed next to the transmitter 5.
- the bar 9 can be equipped with light emitters such as LED's placed one next to the other, the receiving device being placed at 5 and capturing the image returned by the mirror 7. The scanning being ensured by the motor 5.
- light emitters such as LED's placed one next to the other
- the receiving device being placed at 5 and capturing the image returned by the mirror 7.
- the scanning being ensured by the motor 5.
- receivers placed in front of each of the transmitters.
- light signals can be modulated to differentiate them from ambient signals.
