Patents by Inventor Fikret Necati Catbas

Fikret Necati Catbas 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: 11915408
    Abstract: A smart, human-centered technique that uses artificial intelligence and mixed reality to accelerate essential tasks of the inspectors such as defect measurement, condition assessment and data processing. For example, a bridge inspector can analyze some remote cracks located on a concrete pier, estimate their dimensional properties and perform condition assessment in real-time. The inspector can intervene in any step of the analysis/assessment and correct the operations of the artificial intelligence. Thereby, the inspector and the artificial intelligence will collaborate/communicate for improved visual inspection. This collective intelligence framework can be integrated in a mixed reality supported see-through headset or a hand-held device with the availability of sufficient hardware and sensors. Consequently, the methods reduce the inspection time and associated labor costs while ensuring reliable and objective infrastructure evaluation.

  • Publication number: 20220383478
    Abstract: A computer vision-based system provides for load distribution estimation and load rating and vibration serviceability assessment of structures. The system integrates evaluates the structural load carrying capacity, the diagnosis and prognosis of performance and safety, and vibration serviceability. Cameras record images of a structure, and regions of interest are monitored in those images for their displacement and velocity as loading varies. Where the displacement determined exceeds a predetermined threshold, or where the acceleration determined exceeds predetermined limits, or where the distribution of displacements of parts of the structure deviates substantially from an estimated displacement distribution, an output indicating potential problems with the structure is output.
