Title: Innovations by Ulrich Stopper
Introduction
Ulrich Stopper is a notable inventor based in Gerlingen, Germany. He has made significant contributions to the field of optical sensors and image processing, holding a total of four patents. His work focuses on utilizing neural networks to enhance the functionality of optical devices.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Neural network for classifying obstructions in an optical sensor." This invention involves a neural network designed to classify whether an image from an optical sensor indicates an obstruction. The classification process is characterized by the output of the neural network based on the input image. The neural network features a first convolutional layer that performs a 1D-convolution along a vertical axis and a second convolutional layer that conducts a 1D-convolution along a horizontal axis. The final output is derived from the convolution outputs of both layers.
Another significant patent is the "Method and control device for processing at least one image representing a halation, and image recording system." This method involves processing an image that depicts halation by reading it through an interface connected to an image recording device. The intensity distribution representing the halation is analyzed to determine the surface-shaped distribution of particles causing the halation, distinguishing it from a volume-shaped distribution.
