Publication number: 20240386687Abstract: Systems and methods for building a three-dimensional composite scene are disclosed. Certain embodiments of the systems and methods may include the use of a three-dimensional capture device that captures a plurality of three-dimensional images of an environment. Some embodiments may further include elements concerning aligning and/or mapping the captured images. Various embodiments may further include elements concerning reconstructing the environment from which the images were captured. The methods disclosed herein may be performed by a program embodied on a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium when executed the program is executed a processor.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 20, 2024Publication date: November 21, 2024Applicant: Matterport, Inc.Inventors: Matthew Bell, David Gausebeck, Michael Beebe

Publication number: 20230274499Abstract: The present disclosure concerns a methodology that allows a user to “orbit” around a model on a specific axis of rotation and view an orthographic floor plan of the model. A user may view and “walk through” the model while staying at a specific height above the ground with smooth transitions between orbiting, floor plan, and walking modes.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 10, 2023Publication date: August 31, 2023Inventors: Matthew Bell, Michael Beebe

Publication number: 20220112639Abstract: A series of polyester and vinyl ester based insoluble binder compositions for use with fiberglass are provided. These compositions are comprised of cross-linkable unsaturated resins used in tandem with various azo initiators. The compositions are capable of thermally curing; creating a water and organic-insoluble binder exhibiting good adhesion to glass. These thermally cured binders are able to provide similar fiberglass tensile strength to the conventional dibenzoyl peroxide containing compositions, while exhibiting improved retention of whiteness over time.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 9, 2020Publication date: April 14, 2022Inventors: Edgardo M Hernandez, John McAlvin, Michael Beebe

Patent number: 11209634Abstract: An optical system includes a splitting optic configured to receive a light beam from a light source and form a set of light bands radiating from the optical system at predetermined angles relative to illuminate a scene. The optical system further includes a lens configured to project a field of view of the scene into a two-dimensional format. The optical system further includes an optical sensor arranged offset from the central axis of the lens to capture a segment of the field of view projected by the lens.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2018Date of Patent: December 28, 2021Assignee: ROBERT BOSCH START-UP PLATFORM NORTH AMERICA, LLC, SERIES 1Inventors: Audrey Steever, Nick C. Leindecker, Kaijen Hsiao, Todd Louis Harris, Edward Solomon, Michael Beebe, Sarah Osentoski
