Latest Patents

Burlina is credited with 1 patent: “Systems and Methods for Remote Tagging and Tracking of Objects Using Hyperspectral Video Sensors.” The invention detects and tracks objects by comparing the spectrum of each image pixel with a known spectral signature. It uses radiative transfer theory to estimate an object’s reflectance from measured radiance, helping account for changes in illumination. Because reflectance signatures can remain consistent across varying conditions, the method can support tracking through gaps in spatial or temporal coverage. Tracking combines a prediction process with a correction process.

Career Highlights

The patent highlights Burlina’s work on applying hyperspectral imaging and reflectance analysis to remote object tracking. His affiliation with Johns Hopkins University connects this work to the university’s research and innovation community.

Collaborations

The patent’s listed collaborators include Joshua B. Broadwater and Amit Banerjee.

Conclusion

Phillippe M. Burlina’s patented approach uses hyperspectral signatures and reflectance estimation to help detect and track objects despite changing illumination and interruptions in sensor coverage.
