Publication number: 20250039568Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for generating images of a modality other than the modality of the sensor from which the image was acquired. For example, methods and systems described herein may acquire a temporal sequence of frame data captured by the image sensor. Once the temporal sequence of frame data is acquired, a desired imaging modality may be determined and a projection operation on the frame data may be performed. Based on the results of the projection operation, a post-capture emulation may be generated, corresponding to the desired imaging modality. An image may be outputted corresponding to the post-capture emulation.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2024Publication date: January 30, 2025Inventors: Mohit Gupta, Varun Sundar

Publication number: 20240298783Abstract: A mirror assembly can include a housing, a mirror, and a light source. In certain embodiments, the mirror is rotatable within a support portion of the mirror assembly. In some embodiments, the mirror assembly includes a light pipe configured to emit a substantially constant amount of light along a periphery of the mirror. In some embodiments, the mirror assembly includes a sensor assembly. The sensor assembly can be configured to adjust the amount of emitted light based on the position of a user in relation to the mirror.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 11, 2023Publication date: September 12, 2024Inventors: Frank Yang, Zachary Rapoport, Eric Beaupre, Sachin Kumar, Chetan Machakanoor, Varun Sundar

Publication number: 20230410333Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, systems, methods, and media for estimating depths in a scene using single-photon detectors and binary structured light patterns are provided. In some embodiments, a system comprises: a light source; an image sensor comprising an array including single-photon detectors; a processor programmed to: cause the light source to emit a sequence of n binary light patterns toward the scene, each comprising at least L columns, each of the patterns has a minimum stripe width of 8 columns; and n>log2(L); cause, for each of the n binary light patterns, the image sensor to capture a binary image of the scene, the binary image comprises a binary value for each of single-photon detectors such that each of the single-photon detectors generates a set of binary values; and estimate, for each single-photon detector, a depth value based on the set of binary values.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2022Publication date: December 21, 2023Inventors: Varun Sundar, Mohit Gupta

Patent number: 10806305Abstract: Various soap dispensers are disclosed. Certain embodiments include a housing, reservoir, pump, motor, sensor, electronic processor, and nozzle. In some embodiments, the pump comprises a peristaltic pump. In certain embodiments, the sensor can be configured to generate a signal based on a distance between an object and the sensor. In certain embodiments, the electronic processor can be configured to receive the signal from the sensor and to determine a dispensation volume of the liquid, such as based on the distance between the object and the sensor. The processor can be configured to control the motor to dispense approximately the dispensation volume of the liquid.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2018Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Assignee: simplehuman, LLCInventors: Frank Yang, Guy Cohen, Zachary Rapoport, Hon-Lun Chen, Eric Beaupre, Sachin Kumar, Chetan Machakanoor, Varun Sundar
