Introduction

David James Moylan is an inventor associated with Troy, Michigan, and Connaught Electronics Limited. His patent work concerns vehicle-camera imaging and the generation of a top-down view of the area surrounding a vehicle.

Latest Patents

Moylan is associated with 1 patent: “Generating Top View of Vehicle with Image Harmonization Based on Camera Orientation.” The patent describes methods and systems that combine images from multiple vehicle cameras, each viewing a different region of the ground around the vehicle. Because some camera views overlap, the system segments the images and harmonizes brightness or color across the overlapping segments.

When a camera’s angle relative to the ground exceeds a specified threshold, the system uses a second harmonization model to account for occlusions or missing image data caused by the camera’s orientation. This approach is designed to support a more consistent top view of the surroundings.

Career Highlights

Moylan’s listed patent reflects work in vehicle imaging systems, camera-based environmental perception, and image processing. His association with Connaught Electronics Limited connects his inventive work with automotive electronics.

Collaborations

Moylan’s listed coworkers include Mark Patrick Griffin and Satya Syamala Rao Giddi. The patent’s subject matter involves coordinating images from multiple vehicle cameras, though the provided information does not specify the individual contributions of the named coworkers.

Conclusion

David James Moylan’s patent focuses on harmonizing images from vehicle cameras to generate a useful top-down view, including adjustments for camera angles that can cause occlusions or gaps in image data.
