BlincVision strengthens its patent protection with new US patent
BlincVision has received notice that it will be granted a US patent for a method that filters out noise and irrelevant information from event-based cameras. The method reduces the amount of data that needs to be processed and enables faster response times. The patent strengthens the protection of the company's sensor technology.
BlincVision's technology combines event-based cameras, laser, software and an AI-trained perception model to quickly detect and analyse objects in the surrounding environment. The cameras detect changes in the environment and send the information for further processing.
The new patent covers a method for filtering out information that is not relevant for further analysis. By analysing when and where changes are detected, the system can filter out unnecessary information at an early stage. This reduces the amount of data that needs to be processed, allowing the system to work more efficiently and respond faster to changes in its surroundings. The remaining information is then used to create a three-dimensional (3D) image of objects in front of the camera.
A corresponding patent application has also been filed in Europe.
"Speed is at the heart of our technology and what sets us apart. This patent strengthens our protection and is another step towards building a strong patent portfolio around our technology," says Pierre Ekwall, CTO and Product & Business Development Officer.
