Patent number: 12354237Abstract: A method of mesoscopic photogrammetry can be carried out using a set of images captured from a camera on a mobile computing device. Upon receiving the set of images, the method generates a composite image, which can include applying homographic rectification to warp all images of the set of images onto a common plane; applying a rectification model to undo perspective distortion in each image of the set of images; and applying an undistortion model for adjusting for camera imperfections of a camera that captured each image of the set of images. A height map is generated co-registered with the composite image, for example, by using an untrained CNN whose weights/parameters are optimized in order to optimize the height map. The height map and the composite image can be output for display.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2021Date of Patent: July 8, 2025Assignees: DUKE UNIVERSITY, RAMONA OPTICS INC.Inventors: Kevin Zhou, Colin Cooke, Jaehee Park, Ruobing Qian, Roarke Horstmeyer, Joseph Izatt, Sina Farsiu

Publication number: 20240281940Abstract: A method of performing computational image contrast from multidimensional data includes receiving a plurality of images of an object, with each image of the plurality of images having more than three dimensions, performing multi-dimensional registration of the plurality of images to generate a multi-dimensional dataspace, reducing dimensionality of the multi-dimensional dataspace to create an enhanced resolution and contrast image of a 3D space of the object using the plurality of images as registered in the multi-dimensional dataspace, and displaying the enhanced resolution and contrast image. In some cases, reducing the dimensionality of the multi-dimensional dataspace to create the enhanced resolution and contrast image of the 3D space of the object comprises utilizing at least one of variance, high-order statistics, entropy, principal component analysis, t-distributed stochastic neighborhood embedding, and neural networks using the plurality of images as registered in the multi-dimensional dataspace.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 19, 2024Publication date: August 22, 2024Inventors: Kevin Zhou, Ryan McNabb, Ruobing Qian, Al-Hafeez Dhalla, Sina Farsiu, Joseph Izatt

Publication number: 20240184357Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method for an eye tracking system for a head-mounted device include a light source, an image sensor, and a frame tracking system. The light source and image sensor may be configured to determine absolute and relative eye orientations. The frame tracking system may be configured to determine the displacement of a head-mounted device frame relative to the face of the user. The frame tracking system may provide displacement data for the displacement of the head-mounted device frame to the eye tracking system to enable the eye tracking system to compensate for frame slippage, frame jostling, or other frame displacement (relative to the face of the user). The frame tracking system may include one or more position sensors disposed on the head-mounted device frame and logic configured to determine displacement data using information from the one or more position sensors.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2023Publication date: June 6, 2024Inventors: Robin Sharma, Karol Constantine Hatzilias, Ruobing Qian, Mohamed Tarek Ahmed El-Haddad, Francesco Larocca, Edbert Jarvis Sie

The photonic integrated circuit can include an opto-coupler that has a substrate substantially transparent to a specified wavelength of light and a waveguide configured to route a light beam having a center wavelength at the specified wavelength. The opto-coupler further includes a mirror disposed at an angle, and the mirror is disposed on an angled surface of the substrate, the angled surface being proximate to an output end of the waveguide. The opto-coupler further includes a beam forming element configured to collect light reflected from the mirror, and the waveguide and the mirror are integrated within the substrate.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 8, 2022Publication date: February 22, 2024Applicant: Meta Platforms Technologies, LLCInventors: Guohua Wei, Mohamed Tarek Ahmed El-Haddad, Marc Aurèle Gilles, Robin Sharma, Ruobing Qian

Publication number: 20230314596Abstract: A transmitter emits transmit signals to an ear-region. Image signals are generated by a receiver. The image signals are generated by the receiver in response to receiving return signals. The return signals are the millimeter-wave transmit signals reflecting back from the ear-region. An ear-region image is generated in response to the image signals.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2022Publication date: October 5, 2023Inventors: Karol Constantine Hatzilias, Ruobing Qian, Abhishek Sharma, Robin Sharma

Patent number: 11583179Abstract: Sensor data is captured with a sensor. The sensor data includes a lens-position of a prescription lens relative to a reference point of an optical coherence tomography (OCT) system. A mirror of a reference arm of the OCT system is positioned at an optical pathlength between an eye region of the prescription lens based at least in part on the sensor data. An OCT signal is generated while the mirror is positioned at the optical pathlength. At least one depth profile is generated that includes the prescription lens and the eye region.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2020Date of Patent: February 21, 2023Assignee: Meta Platforms Technologies, LLCInventors: Ruobing Qian, Mohamed Tarek El-Haddad, Robin Sharma

Patent number: 11326870Abstract: Systems and methods for imaging based on multiple cross-sectional images acquired at different angles are disclosed. According to an aspect, multiple cross-sectional images of an object are acquired at different angles. The method also includes registering the acquired cross-sectional images.
