Introduction
Gary Mcgrath is an accomplished inventor based in Carlsbad, CA, known for his contributions to technology and robotics. He holds a total of 2 patents that showcase his innovative approach to solving complex problems in camera calibration and robotic vehicle control.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is focused on "Camera auto-calibration with gyroscope." This invention includes devices and methods for automatically calibrating a camera. In various embodiments, an image sensor captures an image, and the locations of one or more points within the captured image frames are predicted and detected. Calibration parameters are calculated based on the differences between predicted and observed locations of a selected point within the image frame. The automatic camera calibration method can be repeated until the calibration parameters meet a specified quality threshold.
Another significant patent by Mcgrath is "Sensor-centric path planning and control for robotic vehicles." This invention involves controlling the rotational maneuvers of a robotic vehicle, such as an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), to perform commanded changes in vehicle attitude as rotations about a center of sensing of a sensor. This approach reduces or eliminates translational movements in the sensor output that occur when the robotic vehicle rotates about its center of gravity.
