The present invention relates to a current sensor device comprising: current sensing means for sensing a current, a circuit arranged to convert a signal received from the current sensing means into a signal indicative of the sensed current, storage means for storing a plurality of values of the signal indicative of the sensed current, a processing circuit arranged for receiving a subset of the plurality of values stored in the storage means, for detecting or predicting an event based on a function of the subset, said function being stored in the storage means, and for generating a corresponding event signal, said current supervisory device further comprising an interface circuit arranged to output the corresponding event signal.

Device for supervising a sensed current

A method of digitally processing an image comprises: generating an intensity distribution model () in respect of at least a portion of the array of sensing pixels () of a detector device (). The array of sensing pixels comprises clusters of pixels. A pixel () from the array of sensing pixels is then selected () and a first distance and a second distance from the selected pixel to a first neighbouring pixel () and a second neighbouring pixel (), respectively, are determined () and the intensity distribution model () referenced () by the first distance is used to calculate a first weight and a second weight to apply to the first and second neighbouring pixels, respectively. The first distance comprises an intra-cluster distance and the second distance comprises an inter-cluster distance, the intra-cluster distance being different from the inter-cluster distance. The first weight is applied () to the first neighbouring pixel () and the second weight is applied () to the second neighbouring pixel ().
