Patent number: 9498809Abstract: A metallic matrix shaping method is provided. A flatness of a plurality of points of the metallic matrix is measured by a shape test device, and a flatness margin of error H between a reference level and the flatness of the metallic matrix is calibrated using the least square method.

Patent number: 9418434Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) geometric boundaries are detected in images of a scene that undergoes varying lighting conditions caused by light sources in different positions, from a set of input images of the scene illuminated by at least two different lighting conditions. The images are aligned, e.g., acquired by a stationary camera, so that pixels at the same location in all of the input images correspond to the same point in the scene. For each location, a patch of corresponding pixels centered at the location is extracted from each input image. For each location, a confidence value that there is a 3D geometric boundary at the location is determined.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2013Date of Patent: August 16, 2016Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories, Inc.Inventors: Tim K Marks, Oncel Tuzel, Fatih Porikli, Jay Thornton, Jie Ni
