HETEROGENEOUS CLASS [5 records]

Record 1 2025-02-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Applications of Automation
  • Collaboration with WIPO
CONT

Self-reconfigurable robots are "a class of robots that are composed of many homogeneous or heterogeneous modules that can change the way they are connected on their own, thus changing the overall shape of the robot"...

OBS

self-reconfigurable robot; modular self-reconfigurable robot; MSR; MSRR; self-reconfigurable modular robot; SRMR: designations validated by a Canadian subject-matter expert from Polytechnique Montréal.

Key term(s)
  • self reconfigurable robot
  • modular self reconfigurable robot
  • self reconfigurable modular robot

French

Domaine(s)
  • Automatisation et applications
  • Collaboration avec l'OMPI
CONT

[...] des chercheurs des universités de Cornell et de Pennsylvanie ont présenté un nouveau robot modulaire auto-reconfigurable [...] capable de changer de forme et de réaliser des tâches complexes. Composé de différents éléments cubiques équipés de roues et connectés les uns aux autres grâce à des aimants électro-permanents, le robot se reconfigure automatiquement et s'adapte à un environnement inconnu.

OBS

robot autoreconfigurable; robot modulaire auto-reconfigurable; robot auto-reconfigurable : désignations validées par un spécialiste canadien de Polytechnique Montréal.

Key term(s)
  • robot modulaire auto reconfigurable
  • robot auto reconfigurable

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Automatización y aplicaciones
  • Colaboración con la OMPI
CONT

Los robots metamórficos […] son máquinas reconfigurables, con la capacidad de generar diferentes tipos de locomoción mediante un cambio de forma de manera autónoma. Los principales modelos robóticos a nivel internacional en esta área consideran su diseño conceptual a partir de la bioinspiración, la implementación de sistemas mecánicos y el apoyo de herramientas de manufactura.

Record 3 2006-06-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Remote Sensing
CONT

Enhanced LEE filter was modified by Lopes. He proposed to divide an image into areas of three classes. The first class corresponds to the homogeneous areas in which the speckles may be eliminated simply by applying an LP filter(or equivalently, averaging, multi-look processing). The second class corresponds to the heterogeneous areas in which the speckles are to be reduced while preserving texture and the third class [refers to] areas containing isolated point targets... In this case, the filter should preserve the observed value.

CONT

[A] good filter should maintain edges and texture in [the] original image. [Therefore, as compared to the initial image], the filtered image should be more contrasted.

OBS

LEE stands for Lee Edge Enhancement.

OBS

enhanced LEE filter: term officially approved by the RADARSAT-2 Terminology Approval Group (RTAG).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Télédétection
OBS

Ce filtre permet de réduire le chatoiement tout en conservant les bordures et la texture de l'image d'origine; ainsi, l'image finale devait être plus contrastée que l'image initiale.

OBS

filtre de LEE amélioré : terme uniformisé par le Groupe de travail de la terminologie de RADARSAT-2 (GTTR).
