Patents by Inventor Steffen Urban

Steffen Urban 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: 12236621
    Abstract: A head image registration uses a plurality of combined 2D and depth images, for example RGBD images, of a head recorded from different positions. Landmark points are determined for each of the combined images. The registration is performed as a coarse registration based on the landmark points followed by a fine registration based on full point clouds. Based on the registration, a head model may be generated.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11849999
    Abstract: Computer implemented methods for mobile device, mobile devices and computer programs are utilized for determining the center of rotation of the eye. An image of an eye of a person is captured in at least two positions of the mobile device, and the position of the center of rotation is determined based on the images and the position. In a similar manner, optionally a pupil position may be determined.

  • Patent number: 10846883
    Abstract: A method for calibrating an object includes determining a position and an alignment of the object in a reference coordinate system, determining the position of at least three measurement spots by at least one capture apparatus, determining a target spot having a fixed spatial relationship with the measurement spots, determining a spatial relationship between the target spot and a tracking spot located on the object by virtue of the tracking spot being positioned at a calibration spot, and determining the spatial location of the calibration spot by a sensor.
