Hong-Yu Chiu

Title: Hong-Yu Chiu and Depth Completion Innovation.

Introduction

Hong-Yu Chiu is an inventor based in Tainan City, Taiwan. His patent work includes a method for completing sparse depth maps, an approach that uses image information and a neural network to generate a denser depth representation.

Latest Patents

Chiu is associated with 1 patent: “Depth Completion Method of Sparse Depth Map and System Thereof.” The method acquires a grayscale image and its corresponding sparse depth map, then derives a nearest neighbor interpolation image and a Euclidean distance transform image from the sparse depth data. A neural network receives the grayscale image and both derived images to predict a residual map. The system combines that predicted residual map with the interpolation image to generate a predicted dense depth map.

Career Highlights

Chiu is associated with Himax Technologies, Inc. His patented method brings together depth-map processing and neural-network prediction to address the completion of missing depth information.
