Latest Patents

Scharrer is credited with 1 patent: “Method for Capturing Three-Dimensional Images with the Aid of a Stereo Camera Having Two Cameras, as Well as Method for Producing a Redundant Image of a Measurement Object, and Apparatus for Carrying Out the Methods.”

The invention captures a scene simultaneously with two cameras, identifies characteristic signatures of objects in each image, and matches those signatures in pairs. It determines and filters the position deviations between matched signatures, then uses the selected pairs for triangulation to calculate depth data. The method produces a 3D data map of the scene and is designed for practical image capture, including applications that support autonomous-driving safety.
