Julia Ick 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: 9904861
    Abstract: The present application presents methods and apparatuses for detecting target objects in an image sequence of a monitoring region. In some examples, such methods may include adjusting pixel values of images of the image sequence for interference components associated with at least one interfering object, generating the interference components associated with the at least one interfering object that is situated in the monitoring region, searching the image sequence for the target objects based on the adjusted pixel values, detecting a start of a predetermined sequence of motions associated with the interfering object, and computing an instantaneous position of the at least one interfering object during the predetermined sequence of motions, wherein adjusting the pixel values of the images is based upon the instantaneous position.
    Type: Grant
