Latest Patents

The provided information lists one patent for Sekkappan: “Estimating Flow Vectors for Occluded Content in Video Sequences.” The invention describes systems and methods for estimating optical-flow vectors for occluded pixels between video frames. It identifies occluded regions and determines possible causes of occlusion, then applies different estimation techniques depending on the cause. For example, it uses one technique for pixels obscured because they move out of the frame and another for pixels obscured by foreground movement. This approach is intended to provide a lightweight, less resource-intensive way to estimate optical-flow data.

Career Highlights

Sekkappan’s listed patent reflects work on video-processing methods that account for different types of occlusion. The supplied information identifies NVIDIA Corporation as his employer and records 1 patent.

Collaborations

Aurobinda Maharana and Vipul Parashar are identified as some of Sekkappan’s coworkers. The available information does not specify their roles in the patent or whether they collaborated on it.

Conclusion

Karthick Sekkappan’s listed invention focuses on efficient optical-flow estimation for occluded video content, distinguishing between occlusion caused by movement out of frame and occlusion caused by foreground movement.
