Patent number: 10416302Abstract: Compressive imaging captures images in compressed form, where each sensor does not directly correspond with a pixel, as opposed to standard image capture techniques. This can lead to faster image capture rates due to lower I/O bandwidth requirements, and avoids the need for image compression hardware, as the image is captured in compressed form. Measuring the transformation of an emitted multimodal signal is one method of compressive imaging. Metamaterial antennas and transceivers are well suited for both emitting and receiving multimodal signals, and are thus prime candidates for compressive imaging.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2016Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: Duke UniversityInventors: David Smith, David Brady, Tom Driscoll, John Hunt, Alexander Mrozack, Matthew Reynolds, Daniel Marks

Patent number: 10109080Abstract: Multi-sensor compressive imaging systems can include an imaging component (such an an RF, microwave, or mmW metamaterial surface antenna) and an auxiliary sensing component (such as an EO/IR sensor). In some approaches, the auxiliary sensing component includes a structured light sensor configured to identify the location or posture of an imaging target within a field of view of the imaging component. In some approaches, a reconstructed RF, microwave, or mmW image may be combined with a visual image of a region of interest to provide a multi-spectral representation of the region of interest.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2016Date of Patent: October 23, 2018Assignee: Duke UniversityInventors: David Brady, Tom Driscoll, John Hunt, Daniel Marks, Alexander Mrozack, Matthew Reynolds, David R.

Patent number: 9843103Abstract: An array of scattering and/or reflector antennas are configured to produce a series of beam patterns, where in some embodiments the scattering antenna and/or the reflector antenna includes complementary metamaterial elements. In some embodiments circuitry may be configured to set a series of conditions corresponding to the array to produce the series of beam patterns, and to produce an image of an object that is illuminated by the series of beam patterns.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2014Date of Patent: December 12, 2017Inventors: Jeffrey A. Bowers, David Jones Brady, Tom Driscoll, John Desmond Hunt, Roderick A. Hyde, Nathan Ingle Landy, Guy Shlomo Lipworth, Alexander Mrozack, David R. Smith, Clarence T. Tegreene
