METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING REFLECTING OBJECTS SUBJECTED TO VARIABLE LIGHTING CONDITIONS AND SYSTEM FOR PERFORMING SAID METHOD

摘要

Method for identifying reflecting objects (1) subjected to variable lighting conditions by capturing and processing images obtained of said reflecting objects (1) by at least one camera (2), which comprises means for predicting lighting conditions capable of affecting the quality of the images, said camera comprising means for adapting the exposure time and/or aperture of the camera (2) to the predicted lighting conditions, wherein such means for predicting the lighting conditions capable of affecting the quality of the images comprise means for determining the azimuth (Az) of the direction of the camera (2) lens, means for determining the geographical position of the camera (2), means for determining universal time, all of which allow a prediction to be made of the solar radiation reflected by said reflecting object (1) in the direction of the camera(2) lens and therefore to limit the exposure time and/or aperture of the camera (2) for identifying the object.
