Title: J Grant Howard: Innovator in Electro-Optic Imaging Systems
Introduction
J Grant Howard is a notable inventor based in La Plata, MD (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of electro-optic imaging systems. His innovative work focuses on enhancing image quality and reducing the necessary focal length of imaging sensors.
Latest Patents
Howard holds a patent for an "Algorithmic technique for increasing the spatial acuity of a focal plane array electro-optic imaging system." This invention is designed to enhance images from an electro-optic imaging sensor while preserving system acuity. The system uniquely reduces the necessary focal length and enhances images by collecting a video sequence, estimating motion associated with this sequence, assembling video frames into composite images, and applying image restoration techniques. This invention synthetically increases the pixel density of the focal plane array, thereby reducing the size of the projected blur circle and minimizing the minimum focal length requirements.
