Patents by Inventor Shaojun Yao

Shaojun Yao 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: 11257235
    Abstract: A system for sub-pixel disparity estimation is described herein. The system includes memory circuitry to store image data and at least one processor to execute instructions to calculate a first disparity for a set of reference views. The reference views correspond to a first subset of views among a plurality of sub-aperture views represented in the image data. The at least one processor is to refine the first disparity to a second disparity for the reference views. The second disparity has higher precision than the first disparity. The at least one processor is to map the second disparity from the reference views to a second subset of views among the plurality of sub-aperture views different than the first subset of views.

  • Patent number: 10832430
    Abstract: A system for sub-pixel disparity estimation is described herein. The system includes a plenoptic camera, a memory, and a processor. The memory is configured to store imaging data. The processor is \coupled to the memory and the plenoptic camera. The processor is to obtain a plurality of sub-aperture views, select a subset of sub-aperture views as reference views for a disparity calculation, and calculate an integer disparity for the reference views. The processor is also to refine the integer disparity to sub-pixel disparity accuracy for the reference views and propagate the sub-pixel disparity from the reference views to other views of the plurality of sub-aperture views.

  • Publication number: 20190116354
    Abstract: In some examples, a camera calibration method for calibrating a plurality of cameras includes determining a relationship between each camera and a unique coordinate system. The calibration method also includes determining a positional relationship between all of the plurality of cameras based on the relationships between each of the cameras and the unique coordinate system.
