Joseph S. KOSOFSKY 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).

  • Methods of extracting 4-band data from a single CCD; methods of generating 4×4 or 3×3 color correction matrices using a single CCD
    Patent number: 9491377
    Abstract: Cameras for capturing an image of an object include a CCD, an optical filter for removing energy of a portion of the spectrum wavelengths, and a ND filter for variable light attenuation. Methods for generating 4-band image data involve obtaining four spectral channels of data using a single CCD and generating 4-band image data. Methods for generating a 4×4 (or a 3×3) color correction matrix involve obtaining four (or three) spectral channels of data with a single CCD and generating the 4×4 (or 3×3) color correction matrix based on these four (or three) spectral channels of data.
