Patents by Inventor Singanallur V. Venkatakrishnan

Singanallur V. Venkatakrishnan 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).

  • Publication number: 20210110581
    Abstract: A tomography system having a central processing unit, a system memory communicatively connected to the central processing unit, and a hardware acceleration unit communicatively connected to the central processing unit and the system memory, the hardware accelerator configured to perform at least a portion of an MBIR process on computer tomography data. The hardware accelerator unit may include one or more voxel evaluation modules which evaluate an updated value of a voxel given a voxel location in a reconstructed volume. By processing voxel data for voxels in a voxel neighborhood, processing time is reduces.
    Type: Application
