Patents by Inventor Evan Haley Fletcher

Evan Haley Fletcher 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: 11770516
    Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) sensing apparatus together with a projector subassembly is provided. The 3D sensing apparatus includes two cameras, which may be configured to capture ultraviolet and/or near-infrared light. The 3D sensing apparatus may also contain an optical filter and one or more computing processors that signal a simultaneous capture using the two cameras and processing the captured images into depth. The projector subassembly of the 3D sensing apparatus includes a laser diode, one or optical elements, and a photodiode that are useable to enable 3D capture.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20210225082
    Abstract: A system configured to determine one or more boundaries of the space, for example, in 3D applications. In some cases, the system may generate point data including a set of safe points in a space and a set of unsafe points in the space, the space surrounding a user device of the system, generate a triangulation over a union of the set of safe points and the set of unsafe points, determine triangles of the triangulation that include at least one safe point and determine edges of determined triangles which are part of a single triangle that include at least one safe point. The system may then determine one or more boundaries of the space using the determined edges.
