Patent number: 11763518Abstract: A method for generating a three-dimensional image of an object, comprising receiving a set of input point cloud data from an imaging system, the set of input point cloud data comprising two or more input point clouds, determining, for each point in the respective input point clouds, a value of a quality parameter that reflects a degree of uncertainty in the three dimensional coordinates as specified for that point, generating an output point cloud for generating a three-dimensional representation of the object surface, wherein, for each point in the output point cloud, the coordinates of the respective point are computed based on the coordinate values of the points in the input point clouds, wherein the extent to which the coordinate values in the respective input point clouds are taken into consideration in the computation is determined based on the values of the quality parameter associated with those respective points.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2018Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignee: Zivid ASInventors: Øystein Skotheim, Henrik Schumann-Olsen

Patent number: 11643425Abstract: The invention relates to compounds in accordance with the general formula [Ru(arene)(Ra—N?CR1—CR3?N—Rb)] or [Ru(arene)((Rc,Rd)N—N?CRH1—CRH3?N—N(Re,Rf))]. In this case, arene is selected from the group consisting of mononuclear and polynuclear arenes and heteroarenes. R1, R3, RH1, RH3 and Ra-Rf are independently selected from the group consisting of H, an alkyl radical (C1-C10) and an aryl radical. It further relates to methods for the production of these compounds, compounds obtainable according to these methods, their use and a substrate having on a surface thereof a ruthenium layer or a layer containing ruthenium. In addition, the invention relates to a method for producing compounds [Ru(arene)X2]2, wherein arene is selected from the group consisting of mononuclear and polynuclear arenes and X=halogen, compounds of this type obtainable according to this method, and their use.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2019Date of Patent: May 9, 2023Assignee: UMICORE AG & CO.

Publication number: 20220329716Abstract: A method for determining one or more groups of exposure settings to use in a 3D image acquisition process carried out with an imaging system, the 3D image acquisition process comprising capturing one or more sets of image data on the image sensor using the respective groups of exposure settings, wherein the one or more sets of image data are such as to allow the generation of one or more 3D point clouds defining the three-dimensional coordinates of points on the surface(s) of one or more objects being imaged, each group of exposure settings specifying a value for one or more parameters of the imaging system, wherein the method comprises identifying one or more candidate groups of exposure settings and selecting from the candidate groups of exposure settings, one or more groups of exposure settings that satisfy one or more optimization criteria.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 19, 2020Publication date: October 13, 2022Inventors: Øystein SKOTHEIM, Henrik SCHUMANN-OLSEN, Alexey STEPANOV, Øyvind JANBU, Martin INGVALDSEN, Jens T.
