  • Patent number: 10345608
    Abstract: Methods and systems for displaying full-color three-dimensional imagery are provided. A first color set, having a first color spectrum, is defined to include a first set of LEDs. The first color set is assigned to a first color-coded image perspective. A second color set, having a second color spectrum, is defined to include a second set of LEDs. The second color set is assigned to a second color-coded image perspective. The full-color three-dimensional imagery is caused by activating, alternatively, at least two LEDs of the first color set or the second color set and one LED of a remaining color set and displaying the three-dimensional image based on the first image perspective and the second image perspective.

  • Patent number: 9939233
    Abstract: Methods and systems consistent with some embodiments presented provide methods for denying visual access to a first area from a target area. In some embodiments, methods for denying visual access from a target area may include generating a structured light pattern and projecting the structured light pattern from onto the target area. Reflections and retroreflections from the target area can indicate the presence of sensors. Characterization of one or more sensors in the target area based on the reflections and retroreflections can be performed. Parameters of the structured light pattern, such as color content, amplitude, pattern, and movement of the pattern, can be adjusted based on the type of sensor detected.

  • Publication number: 20170276478
    Abstract: Methods and systems for performing navigation and terrain change detection based on real-time projection of a structured light pattern are provided. In a method for detecting a change in a field of view from a first point in time to a second point in time, a current three-dimensional dataset of the field of view is generated from a point of reference based on data received in real-time. The location of the point of reference is determined based on geo-spatial data. A stored three-dimensional dataset of the field of view generated from data received at the point of reference at the first point in time is accessed; and used to provide one or more alerts which signify changes in the field of view between the current three-dimensional dataset and the stored three-dimensional dataset.

  • Publication number: 20150268170
    Abstract: Methods and systems for detecting an energy emission event are provided. In a method for detecting an energy emission event, a reference event signal is compared with a received event signal. In some embodiments, the reference event signal is associated with radiated energy having a predetermined temporal response. A detection signal is output when the received event signal corresponds to the reference event signal. In response to outputting the detection signal, imagery of a location in proximity to where the received event signal originated is captured or processed. Using the captured imagery and the detection signal, a determination of where the received event signal originated is made.

  • Patent number: 8662707
    Abstract: Methods and systems consistent with some embodiments presented provide methods for denying visual access to a first area from a target area. In some embodiments, methods for denying visual access from a target area may include generating a structured light pattern and projecting the structured light pattern from onto the target area. The structured light pattern may be moved at a rate and in a pattern to deny visual access of a first area from the target area. In some embodiments, the rate and the pattern may be chosen based on characteristics of the target area.

  • Patent number: 6534221
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a mask for patterning a radiation sensitive layer in a lithographic printer is disclosed. An attenuating (absorptive or reflective) layer is coated over a substantially transparent base substrate such that after processing a two-dimensional spatially varying attenuating pattern is created with a continuously or discretely varying transmission or reflection function. In accordance with the present invention the two-dimensional attenuating pattern is formed by e-beam patterning of radiation sensitive layer to create a three-dimensional surface relief pattern. This pattern is transferred to the attenuating layer by an anisotropic etch, typically a directional reactive plasma etch. The attenuation of this radiation absorbing or reflecting layer varies with layer thickness. In one embodiment of this invention the attenuation of the mask would vary spatially in a continuous manner.

  • Patent number: 4813762
    Abstract: A diffractive lenslet array receives light from multiple lasers. The lenslet array is spaced apart from a partially reflecting mirror by a distance Z=nd.sup.2 /.lambda. where n is an integer or half integer, .lambda. is the laser wavelength and d is the spacing of the lenslets in the array. In a preferred embodiment the apparatus is a unitary design in which the lenslets are etched into one surface of a substrate and a parallel surface is coated to form the partially reflecting mirror. The lenslets abut one another to produce a fill factor (percentage of array containing light) close to one and each of the lenslets is a multistep diffractive lens. Diffractive speading over a round trip distance from lasers to mirror and back again causes feedback light from a single lenslet to couple into adjacent lenslets.
