Patents by Inventor Ryan Christopher DuToit

Ryan Christopher DuToit 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: 12366590
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method including receiving a depth map estimated using data based on image and data received from a movement sensor as input, generating an alignment parameter based on the depth map, adding the alignment parameter to a pre-calibration state to define a user operational calibration state, generating scale parameters and shift parameters based on features associated with the data received from the image and movement sensor, and calibrating the image and movement sensor based on the user operational calibration state, the scale parameters and the shift parameters.

  • Publication number: 20230410344
    Abstract: A system and method of detecting scale from image data obtained by a computing device together with position and orientation of the computing device is provided. The scale may be used for the virtual selection and/or fitting of a wearable device such as a head mounted wearable device and other such wearable devices. The system and method may include capturing a series of frames of image data, and detecting one or more fixed features in the series of frames of image data. Position and orientation data associated with the capture of the image data is combined with the position data related to the one or more fixed features to set a scale that is applicable to the image data. Scale may be determined without the use of a reference object having known scale, specialized equipment, and the like.
