Kensei Jo

Title: Kensei Jo’s Patents in Image and Event Sensing.

Introduction

Kensei Jo is an inventor based in Stuttgart, Germany, whose patent work focuses on image processing and sensor technologies. His listed portfolio includes 3 patents, including inventions that combine image and event sensing to support robust vision systems.

Latest Patents

“Improving Vision Pipeline Robustness with Metadata” describes a system that processes image data from a multi-vision solution providing both APS and EVS data. The system generates metadata and supplies it to an image-processing pipeline, where an algorithm uses the data to perform an image-processing task.

“Hybrid Image and Event Sensing with Rolling Shutter Compensation” describes a sensor device that combines event detection with light-intensity measurements. Event-detecting pixels identify intensity changes above a threshold, while a two-dimensional array of intensity-detecting pixels generates signals representing light levels. A control unit associates the two pixel groups according to their fields of view, accounts for pixel-row numbers and rolling-shutter readout times, and converts pixel and event timestamps to a unified frame time.

Career Highlights

Jo is associated with Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation. His listed patents address complementary aspects of vision technology: metadata-assisted image processing and the coordination of image and event data with rolling-shutter compensation.

Collaborations

Jo’s listed coworkers include Andreas Aumiller and Yupeng Zhao. Their names are provided as collaborators, though specific roles or contributions are not detailed in the supplied information.

Conclusion

Kensei Jo’s two listed patents reflect work on improving vision-pipeline robustness and integrating image and event sensing through coordinated timing and processing.
