| 64 | Object removal using lidar-based classification | US13918159 | 2013-06-14 | US09523772B2 | 2016-12-20 | Aaron Matthew Rogan; Benjamin James Kadlec |
| In scenarios involving the capturing of an environment, it may be desirable to remove temporary objects (e.g., vehicles depicted in captured images of a street) in furtherance of individual privacy and/or an unobstructed rendering of the environment. However, techniques involving the evaluation of visual images to identify and remove objects may be imprecise, e.g., failing to identify and remove some objects while incorrectly omitting portions of the images that do not depict such objects. However, such capturing scenarios often involve capturing a lidar point cloud, which may identify the presence and shapes of objects with higher precision. The lidar data may also enable a movement classification of respective objects differentiating moving and stationary objects, which may facilitate an accurate removal of the objects from the rendering of the environment (e.g., identifying the object in a first image may guide the identification of the object in sequentially adjacent images). | ||||||
| 65 | Laser illuminated gas imaging device for determining inoperable gas detection pixels | US14310914 | 2014-06-20 | US09464984B2 | 2016-10-11 | Matthew F. Schmidt; Tyler B. Evans; Derek Hutton |
| Aspects of the invention generally relate to illumination gas imaging and detection. Camera systems can illuminate a target scene with light sources configured to emit absorbing and non-absorbing wavelengths with respect to a target gas. An image of the target scene illuminated with a non-absorbing wavelength can be compared to a non-illuminated image of the target scene in order to determine information about the background of the target scene. If sufficient light of the non-absorbing wavelength is scattered by the scene toward a detector, the target scene comprises an adequate background for performing a gas imaging process. A camera system can alert a user of portions of the target scene suitable or unsuitable for performing a gas imaging process. If necessary, the user can reposition the system until sufficient portions of the target scene are recognized as suitable for performing the gas imaging process. | ||||||

| According to some implementations, an estimate of a target's location can be calculated by correlating Wi-Fi and video location measurements. This spatio-temporal correlation combines the Wi-Fi and video measurements to determine an identity and location of an object. The accuracy of the video localization and the identity from the Wi-Fi network provide an accurate location of the Wi-Fi identified object. | ||||||

A continuous wave source, phase modulator (e.g., a continuously oscillating reference mirror) and intensity detector are utilized.

| A device for detecting a plant includes a two-dimensional camera for detecting a two-dimensional image of a plant leaf having a high two-dimensional resolution, and a three-dimensional camera for detecting a three-dimensional image of the plant leaf having a high three-dimensional resolution. The two-dimensional camera is a conventional high-resolution color camera, for example, and the three-dimensional camera is a TOF camera, for example. A processor for merging the two-dimensional image and the three-dimensional image creates a three-dimensional result representation having a higher resolution than the three-dimensional image of the 3D camera, which may include, among other things, the border of a leaf. The three-dimensional result representation serves to characterize a plant leaf, such as to calculate the surface area of the leaf, the alignment of the leaf, or serves to identify the leaf. | ||||||
