Abstract

Disclosed is a walking simulator (1), comprising: - an articulated mechanical foot (2), - a first movement system designed to move the articulated mechanical foot (2) in a movement combining a translational movement in a horizontal direction (41) and a rotational movement about a transverse direction, orthogonal to the horizontal direction (41), - a platform (7) having a top surface (71) designed to come into contact with the articulated mechanical foot (2), - a second movement system, designed to move the platform (7) in translation in a vertical direction (72), orthogonal to the horizontal direction (41) and to the transverse direction, the first movement system and the second movement system being designed to be controlled independently or in an interpolated manner, such that the movement of the articulated mechanical foot (2) relative to the platform (7) is similar to that of a human foot relative to the ground during a during a walking or running cycle.

Abstract

Computer-assisted image-processing method (100) for reading a marking on a surface of an animal-skin support, the method comprising the following steps: - acquiring (101), by means of a camera, an image of the surface of the support; - detecting (103) a marking region (ZM), said detection step comprising a first processing operation applied inside a window, said window being a part of the image and said marking region being a portion of the image included in said part of the image; - determining (105) an orientation of the marking region (ZM), said determination comprising a second processing operation; - detecting (106) the characters within the marking region (ZM), said detection comprising a third processing operation applied to a new image of the marking region (ZM), the new image being obtained from the portion of the image corresponding to the marking region (ZM) by means of a calculation performed on the basis of the orientation determined in the preceding step; - classifying (107, 108) each character detected in the new image of the marking region (ZM); - arranging (109) the characters detected and classified in the new image of the marking region (ZM) according to a direction of reading the characters that is defined on the basis of the orientation of the marking region.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method and a device for the three-dimensional reconstruction of the inner surface of a shoe (2), comprising an image acquisition assembly (3, 5) and processing means (14) for processing the images produced by the image acquisition assembly (3, 5). The image acquisition assembly (3, 5) comprises first and second image acquisition means (3, 5) and storage means (13) for storing the images taken by the first and second image acquisition means (3, 5). The device includes mechanical connection means (7) for connecting the first and second image acquisition means (3, 5), designed to position the first and second image acquisition means (3, 5) so as to take pairs of images representing an overlap zone, the relative position of the first and second image acquisition means (3, 5) and the relative orientation thereof being predetermined. The image processing means (14) are designed to correlate points in the recordings within a given pair of images and between different pairs of images, and to form a three-dimensional reconstruction of a surface from these points.
