ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 12 -- United States Patent no. 12,705,687, issued on Aug. 11.
"Real-time spherical light field reconstruction from a single omnidirectional image" was invented by Manu Gond (Sundsvall, Sweden), Emin Zerman (Sundsvall, Sweden), Sebastian Knorr (Berlin) and Marten Sjostrom (Sundsvall, Sweden).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Using two neural networks-a reconstruction network and a refinement network-an image processing system and related method of operation converts omnidirectional image information, for example from a spherical camera, into a cubemap, from which, for each image frame, it reconstructs each of six cube faces of cubes in the cubemap into an array of the cube fa...
