Latest Patents
DiSalvo's latest patents include a "Method and apparatus for simplifying electro-optical imaging systems." This invention provides a method, apparatus, and program product designed to simplify electro-optical imaging data. The process involves receiving spectral/temporal data, formulating it into a vector/matrix, and performing feature extraction analysis. From this analysis, at least two largest principal components are determined, leading to the creation of a cluster diagram. A distance metric is evaluated from this diagram, allowing for the selection of the largest metric based on the distance metric.
Another significant patent is the "Noise immune automated contrast control for infrared cameras." This invention, known as Plateau Equalization (PE), automatically optimizes and tracks changes in luminance while adjusting the display of wide dynamic range imagery from infrared cameras in real time. The PE approach utilizes an infrared camera, a microprocessor, and an 8-bit monitor to display IR scenes with controlled contrast. This system enables the use of 8-bit monitors with 12-bit cameras, ensuring that the display allocation emphasizes smaller features of interest while remaining immune to flicker noise.
