Title: Satoshi Watanabe and Neural-Network-Based Optical Data Processing.

Introduction

Satoshi Watanabe is an inventor associated with Hinohara-mura, Japan, and Evident Corporation. His patent work concerns using neural networks to estimate three-dimensional optical characteristics from measurements of light transmitted through an object.

Latest Patents

The supplied information lists one patent for Watanabe: “Data Processing Method and Learning Method.” The invention describes inputting measurement data into a trained neural network, generating estimated data, and restoring data through forward-propagation operations. It also calculates a confidence level for the estimate by comparing the measurement data with the restored data. The estimated three-dimensional optical characteristic is either a refractive-index distribution or an absorptance distribution. The method sequentially obtains estimated wavefronts as light travels through the object.

Career Highlights

Watanabe is associated with Evident Corporation. His listed patent applies neural-network processing to measurements of transmitted light, with the aim of estimating optical properties inside an object and assessing the confidence of those estimates.
