Krum Beshinski 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: 11991341
    Abstract: A time-of-flight (ToF) image sensor system includes a pixel array, where each pixel of the pixel array is configured to receive a reflected modulated light signal and to demodulate the reflected modulated light signal to generate an electrical signal; a plurality of analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), where each ADC is coupled to at least one assigned pixel of the pixel array and is configured to convert a corresponding electrical signal generated by the at least one assigned pixel into an actual pixel value; and a binning circuit coupled to the plurality of ADCs and configured to generate at least one interpolated pixel, where the binning circuit is configured to generate each of the at least one interpolated pixel based on actual pixel values corresponding to a different pair of adjacent pixels of the pixel array, each of the at least one interpolated pixel having a virtual pixel value.

  • Publication number: 20200074608
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a concept for calibrating a Time of Flight (ToF) camera. At least one ToF image of a target located at one or more predetermined distances from the ToF camera is taken. The at least one ToF image is lowpass filtered to generate a filtered ToF image. The filtered ToF image is subtracted from the ToF image to generate a fixed pattern phase noise (FPPN) image.
