Patent number: 10726450Abstract: Embodiments including a system for searching through a database using two or three dimensional data or data derived from the two three dimensional data. The database may be populated by searching a network environment to compile two dimensional image or three dimensional model data. A search for two or three dimensional data may be utilized to determine related advertisements that may be shown on a results page in connection with the search results. A database being searched may contain pricing data related to products that are associated with two or three dimensional data.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2012Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignee: NextPat LimitedInventors: Mark S.

Patent number: 7995834Abstract: A method and system to capture geometry of a three dimensional target while disambiguating multiple projected target elements. The system projects at least three light pattern elements toward a target at a diverse spacing relative to each other. The system captures at least one image of the target while illuminated by at least one of the pattern elements. The pattern elements are moved relative to the target. The system disambiguates one pattern element from any other contained within an image of the target, at least in part based on the diverse spacing. The system measures triangulation locations of points on a three-dimensional surface of the target.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2006Date of Patent: August 9, 2011Assignee: NextEngine, Inc.Inventors: Mark S.
