Title: Innovations by George D Wilson, Jr.
Introduction
George D Wilson, Jr. is an accomplished inventor based in Austin, TX (US). He holds a total of 3 patents that showcase his expertise in videoconferencing technology and camera systems. His innovative contributions have significantly impacted the way we interact in virtual environments.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is focused on multiple camera color balancing. This invention addresses color and exposure matching for systems, such as videoconferencing endpoints, that have overlapping camera fields of view. The geometric relationships between the overlapping cameras are utilized to determine correction processing. For each camera, histograms are developed for the overlapping cameras, and a dynamic threshold is established for each histogram. Peak detection is performed on each histogram, and expected histogram relationships are determined based on geometric relationships. The actual histogram relationships are then compared to the expected ones, leading to further processing based on the accuracy of the comparison. In some cases, peaks of the histograms are compared to identify matching and non-matching peaks. Various ratios of pixels in the peaks are used to determine necessary adjustments to the respective cameras. Incremental changes to camera outputs are provided and accumulated to adjust the overall output of the respective cameras.
Another significant patent is the method and apparatus for videoconference interaction with Bluetooth-enabled cellular telephones. This invention discloses a videoconferencing station that includes apparatus for establishing a wireless Personal Area Network (PAN) in the immediate vicinity of the station. In one preferred embodiment, the PAN is a Bluetooth piconet. A Bluetooth-enabled cellular telephone can then be used to make an audio connection via the telephone network to a remote user not in a conference room equipped with a videoconferencing station. This allows the remote user to participate in at least the audio portion of the videoconference, with video portions transmitted if video-enabled phones are used.
