Johannes Both has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11321852
    Abstract: A method for initializing a tracking algorithm for target objects, includes generating a 3D point cloud of the target object and iteratively determining a spatial position and orientation of the target object using a 3D model. A spatial position and orientation of the target object is first determined using an artificial neural network, thereafter the tracking algorithm is initialized with a result of this determination. A method for training an artificial neural network for initializing a tracking algorithm for target objects includes generating a 3D point cloud of the target object by a scanning method, and iteratively determining a spatial position and orientation of the using a 3D model of the target object. The artificial neural network is trained using training data to initially determine a spatial position and orientation of the target object and thereafter initialize the tracking algorithm with a result of this initial determination.

  • Patent number: 9744954
    Abstract: A brake actuation system of a hydraulic brake system, for actuating at least one front axle brake circuit having at least one front wheel brake, and for actuating at least one rear axle brake circuit having at least one rear wheel brake, the brake actuation system including at least one hand brake module which, when actuated, can activate both brake circuits. In order to provide an improved brake actuation system with a plurality of actuation capabilities, which system can also be utilized in light motorcycles and scooters without the restrictions of existing brake actuation systems, while simultaneously offering a simple concept and a reduced cost and weight, the hand brake module is hydraulically coupled into a combined hand brake module, the combined hand brake module being designed to simultaneously generate brake pressure in both brake circuits.
