Patent number: 10296791Abstract: The present disclosure is directed towards a compact, mobile apparatus for iris image acquisition, adapted to address effects of ocular dominance in the subject and to guide positioning of the subject's iris for the image acquisition. The apparatus may include a sensor for acquiring an iris image from a subject. A compact mirror may be oriented relative to a dominant eye of the subject, and sized to present an image of a single iris to the subject when the apparatus is positioned at a suitable distance for image acquisition. The mirror may assist the subject in positioning the iris for iris image acquisition. The mirror may be positioned between the sensor and the iris during iris image acquisition, and transmit a portion of light reflected off the iris to the sensor.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2018Date of Patent: May 21, 2019Assignee: EyeLock LLCInventors: Keith J.

Patent number: 8108119Abstract: The present invention provides a collision avoidance apparatus and method employing stereo vision applications for adaptive vehicular control. The stereo vision applications are comprised of a road detection function and a vehicle detection and tracking function. The road detection function makes use of three-dimensional point data, computed from stereo image data, to locate the road surface ahead of a host vehicle. Information gathered by the road detection function is used to guide the vehicle detection and tracking function, which provides lead motion data to a vehicular control system of the collision avoidance apparatus. Similar to the road detection function, stereo image data is used by the vehicle detection and tracking function to determine the depth of image scene features, thereby providing a robust means for identifying potential lead vehicles in a headway direction of the host vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2007Date of Patent: January 31, 2012Assignee: SRI InternationalInventors: John Benjamin Southall, Mayank Bansal, Aastha Jain, Manish Kumar, Theodore Armand Camus, Aveek Kumar Das, John Richard Fields, Gary Alan Greene, Jayakrishnan Eledath

Patent number: 6594399Abstract: In a method of integrating one or more l-dimensional filters into a digital image stream interface a single digital video input is processed by multiple 1-dimensional digital image filters, especially recursive filters, and combined into a single digital image stream which can be transmitted via a high-speed interface to a host computer's memory such that each 1-dimensional filter output can be automatically extracted and placed into its own separate memory buffer for subsequent processing by a secondary image processing device. This additional processing can include the second pass of a two-pass separable filter implemented in software on a general-purpose CPU, and in particular can result in the generation of an image pyramid. This combined hardware and software approach can produce low-cost 2-D digital image filter implementations small enough to be added to existing standard ASIC's while still retaining high performance.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 1998Date of Patent: July 15, 2003Assignee: Sensar, Inc.Inventors: Theodore A.
