Latest Patents

Kim is associated with 1 patent, titled “Neural Volumetric Reconstruction for Coherent Synthetic Aperture Sonar.” The invention describes a system that measures underwater objects using high-resolution synthetic aperture sonar, which combines data collected by a moving array to produce detailed imagery.

The system processes measurement waveforms through iterative deconvolution optimization, tuning waveform compression with sparsity and smoothness parameters. It then applies pulse deconvolution and uses the resulting waveforms in an analysis-by-synthesis optimization process with an implicit neural representation. This approach is designed to produce higher-resolution imagery and improved volumetric reconstructions of underwater scenes.
