Title: Glenn Toumier: Inventor of a Multimodal Drone Loop-Closure Method
Introduction
Glenn Toumier is an inventor associated with Vienna, Virginia, United States. His patent work addresses drone positioning by combining information from Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) profiles and images.
Latest Patents
Toumier is credited with 1 patent, titled “Loop closure using multi-modal sensor data.” The invention describes methods and systems for obtaining a sample LIDAR profile generated by a drone and selecting a reference position based on that profile. It then determines translation and rotation relative to the reference position using both LIDAR-profile data and a reference image. The system checks whether the two sets of measurements meet a similarity threshold and uses the result to verify the drone’s predicted position.
Career Highlights
The patent highlights Toumier’s contribution to multimodal approaches for drone localization. By comparing sensor and image measurements, the method is designed to help verify a drone’s estimated position.
Collaborations
Toumier’s listed coworkers include Narayanan Ramanathan and Timon Meyer. Their names provide context for the professional connections associated with his patent work.
Conclusion
Glenn Toumier’s patent focuses on combining LIDAR and image data to verify drone positioning, reflecting an application of multimodal sensing to navigation.
