Publication number: 20200211196Abstract: A method and system for segmenting a plurality of images. The method comprises the steps of segmenting the image through a novel clustering technique that is, generating a composite depth map including temporally stable segments of the image as well as segments in subsequent images that have changed. These changes may be determined by determining one or more differences between the temporally stable depth map and segments included in one or more subsequent frames. Thereafter, the portions of the one or more subsequent frames that include segments including changes from their corresponding segments in the temporally stable depth map are processed and are combined with the segments from the temporally stable depth map to compute their associated disparities in one or more subsequent frames. The images may include a pair of stereo images acquired through a stereo camera system at a substantially similar time.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2020Publication date: July 2, 2020Inventors: Tarek El Dokor, Joshua King, Jordan Cluster, James Edward Holmes

Patent number: 10666926Abstract: Multiview calibration is essential for accurate three-dimensional computation. However, multiview calibration can not be accurate enough because of the tolerances required in some of the intrinsic and extrinsic parameters that are associated with the calibration process, along with fundamental imperfections that are associated with the manufacturing and assembly process itself. As a result, residual error in calibration is left over, with no known methods to mitigate such errors. Residual error mitigation is presented in this work to address the shortcomings that are associated with calibration of multiview camera systems. Residual error mitigation may be performed inline with a given calibration approach, or may be presented as a secondary processing step that is more application specific. Residual error mitigation aims at modifying the original parameters that have been estimated during an initial calibration process.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2018Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: Edge 3 Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Tarek El Dokor, Jordan Cluster, Joshua King, James Holmes, Milind Subhash Gide

Patent number: 10585533Abstract: A method and apparatus for creating an adaptive mosaic pixel-wise virtual Bayer pattern. The method may include receiving a plurality of monochromatic images from an array of imaging elements, creating a reference ordered set at infinity from the plurality of monochromatic images, running a demosaicing process on the reference ordered set, and creating a color image from the demosaiced ordered set. One or more offset artifacts resulting from the demosaicing process may be computed at a distance other than infinity, the ordered set may be modified in accordance with the computed offsets.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2019Date of Patent: March 10, 2020Assignee: Edge 3 Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Tarek El Dokor, Joshua King, Roger Hauptman

Patent number: 10493894Abstract: Systemized controls, apparatus, and mechanisms for unloading or loading portable buildings or equipment with respect to a flatbed trailer or an open, flat hauling platform are provided by a load management system. Loads such as prefabricated sheds are loaded safely without damage onto a trailer for hauling to from locations which may have hostile terrain in the vicinity of pick-up or final placement. The load management system provides a series of powered continuous tracks and lifting devices used to extend the load management system to the ground and lift the trailer until its wheels lose contact with the ground. The load management system uses powered continuous tracks to move the trailer over potentially hostile terrain to an unloading location. Conversely, the load management system can be used for loading a shed for secondary moving or repossession. During transit the load management system remains locked into a retracted safe configuration.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2017Date of Patent: December 3, 2019Inventor: Joshua King

Patent number: 9723296Abstract: A method and system to determine the disparity associated with one or more textured regions of a plurality of images is presented. The method comprises the steps of breaking up the texture into its color primitives, further segmenting the textured object into any number of objects comprising such primitives, and then calculating a disparity of these objects. The textured objects emerge in the disparity domain, after having their disparity calculated. Accordingly, the method is further comprised of defining one or more textured regions in a first of a plurality of images, determining a corresponding one or more textured regions in a second of the plurality of images, segmenting the textured regions into their color primitives, and calculating a disparity between the first and second of the plurality of images in accordance with the segmented color primitives.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2014Date of Patent: August 1, 2017Assignee: Edge 3 Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Tarek El Dokor, Joshua King, Jordan Cluster, James Edward Holmes
