Patents by Inventor Gershi Koltun

Gershi Koltun 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: 12002127
    Abstract: A method for processing a digital content includes acquiring content data using a sensor. Compressed reference data is generated from the acquired content data. A hash of the compressed reference data is generated using a hashing function. The generated hash is signed using an encryption function. The acquired content data is transmitted along with the compressed reference data and the signed hash.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 9, 2020
    Date of Patent: June 4, 2024
    Assignee: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.
    Inventors: Yoel Yaffe, Ariel Orfaig, Gershi Koltun, Amit Eisenberg, Ishay Goldin, Shai Litvak
  • Publication number: 20230298190
    Abstract: In a method for time-of-flight (ToF) based measurement, a scene is illuminated using a ToF light source modulated at a first modulation frequency FMOD(1). While the light is modulated using FMOD(1), depths are measured to respective surface points within the scene, where the surface points are represented by a plurality of respective pixels. At least one statistical distribution parameter is computed for the depths. A second modulation frequency FMOD(2) higher than FMOD(1) is determined based on the at least one statistical distribution parameter. The depths are then re-measured using FMOD(2) to achieve a higher depth accuracy.
