Polarization-Based Shadow Detection

US Patent:
8319821, Nov 27, 2012
Filed:
Jun 5, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/810444
Inventors:
Kristin Jean Dana - Spring Lake NJ, US
Richard Mark Friedhoff - New York NY, US
Bruce Allen Maxwell - Springfield PA, US
Steven Joseph Bushell - Cranston RI, US
Casey Arthur Smith - Ithaca NY, US
Assignee:
Tandent Vision Science, Inc. - San Francisco CA
International Classification:
G02B 27/46
US Classification:
348 25, 359558
Abstract:
In a first exemplary embodiment of the present invention, an automated, computerized method is provided for determining an illumination flux condition in a scene. The method comprises the steps of generating and storing a sequence of images of the scene, each one of the sequence of images comprising an array of pixels and corresponding to the scene photographed in a preselected polarization direction, different from the polarization direction of other ones of the sequence of images, determining a polarization sequence vector for at least one pixel in the array, as a function of color information for the pixel in the array, among the sequence of images; and utilizing the polarization sequence vector to determine one of a shadowed and lit illumination condition for the at least one pixel.

Apparatus And Method For Measuring Spatially Varying Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function

US Patent:
2002008, Jun 27, 2002
Filed:
Nov 14, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/992486
Inventors:
Kristin Dana - Staten Island NY, US
International Classification:
G01N021/55
US Classification:
356/445000
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for measuring spatially varying bidirectional reflectance distribution function and method are provided.

Light-Field Messaging

US Patent:
2022026, Aug 18, 2022
Filed:
Jun 10, 2020
Appl. No.:
17/617559
Inventors:
- New Brunswick NJ, US
Kristin Dana - Spring Lake NJ, US
International Classification:
G06T 1/00
Abstract:
A method of light messaging, in which a hidden message is transmitted via coded image emitted from a display device and retrieved using a camera, comprises training a camera-display transfer model that receives images with hidden messages from an embedding model and generates modified coded images based on training data that accounts for properties of displays and cameras, the modified coded images delivered to a recovery model that decodes the hidden messages and outputs hidden message determinations, training both the embedding and recovery models using the CDTF model and training data to minimize differences between the input hidden messages and the hidden message determinations. After training the CDTF model and other models, embedding a hidden message in a carrier image using the embedding model, displaying the coded image using the display device, receiving the coded image at the camera, and retrieving the hidden message using the recovery model.
