Laurent CUISENIER 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: 9500939
    Abstract: A projection subsystem includes a projector for projecting an image on a projection surface and a safety feature for tuning the projector when presence of a human is detected in front of the projection surface. This safety feature includes: —an apparatus for computing a depth view corresponding to at least a portion of the projection surface, —a camera for acquiring a captured image, —a computing circuit for detecting an object between the projector and the projection surface from this depth view and determining that the object is a human from the captured image, and a control circuit for tuning the projector accordingly.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 17, 2013
    Date of Patent: November 22, 2016
    Assignee: STMicroelectronics international N.V.

  • Publication number: 20140078471
    Abstract: It is proposed a method for the projection of a sequence of images onto a projection surface by a handheld device having an embedded projector, said method comprising, for an input image to be projected of said sequence of images: a step of evaluation wherein a spatial position variation is evaluated with respect to a reference spatial position of said handheld device; and said spatial position variation is defined by a spatial orientation variation and a spatial vector variation; said spatial vector variation being determined by 3 independent coordinates; and at least one of said 3 independent coordinates is provided by a stereoscopic sensor; a step of compensation wherein a compensated image is generated from said input image to be projected depending on said spatial position variation; and a step of projecting onto said projection surface said compensated image.
