US Patent Issued to Nvidia on July 7 for "Estimating flow vectors for occluded content in video sequences" (Indian Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 7 -- United States Patent no. 12,675,889, issued on July 7, was assigned to Nvidia Corp. (Santa Clara, Calif.).

"Estimating flow vectors for occluded content in video sequences" was invented by Karthick Sekkappan (Pune, India), Aurobinda Maharana (Chinchwad, India) and Vipul Parashar (Pune, India).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Systems and methods estimate optical flow vectors for occluded pixels between frames of a video sequence. Regions of occluded pixels may be identified and a cause of their occlusion may be determined. Different estimation techniques may be applied based, at least in part, on the cause of occlusion to provide a lightweight, less resource intensive e...
