This page includes a selection of patents from my portfolio—covering work in vehicle perception, driver assistance, and intelligent systems developed over the past several years.
US11257369B2 – Off road route selection and presentation in a drive assistance system equipped vehicle
This patent covers a system that helps off-road drivers navigate by combining LiDAR and camera data to identify optimal vehicle paths. It uses depth mapping and vehicle-specific characteristics to calculate safe, drivable terrain, then overlays that path onto real-time images to create an augmented view for the driver.
The result is a smarter, more intuitive off-road experience with improved situational awareness.
US20200334335A1 – System and method of traffic sign translation
This patent describes a system that translates traffic signs from one language to another in real time. Using onboard processing, the system detects and interprets signs, translates the content, and displays the translated information inside the vehicle for the driver.
It’s designed to enhance safety and navigation for drivers in unfamiliar regions or foreign countries.
DE102015110990A1 – Grid-based image enhancement for video processing module
This patent focuses on enhancing video quality in vehicle camera systems by using a grid-based method. It processes a single camera image into multiple high-resolution views by identifying optimized display areas, adjusting the field of view, and removing visual artifacts like flashes.
The result is a cleaner, more accurate image for in-vehicle displays—improving driver awareness and overall system performance.
US20170158235A1 – Vehicle data recording
This patent outlines a system for intelligently recording vehicle data during specific driving events, like turning. When the vehicle detects it’s making a turn, onboard cameras are automatically triggered to capture views of the wheels.
This targeted recording enhances diagnostics, supports racing analysis, and can be valuable for post-event review or training purposes.
US20160288789A1- Adaptive cruise control system
This patent describes an adaptive cruise control system that not only reacts to other vehicles, but also considers traffic signal data.
By factoring in the distance to and state of upcoming traffic lights, the system can proactively adjust vehicle speed, improving driving efficiency, safety, and comfort in urban environments.
DE102014200110A1- EXTERNAL AIR TEMPERATURE CORRECTION FOR ONE VEHICLE
This patent covers a system that improves vehicle control by correcting external air temperature readings used during battery cooling cycles. B
y selecting the most accurate temperature data from sensors and cooling system behavior, the vehicle can better manage thermal conditions, helping to optimize performance and protect the rechargeable energy storage system.
US20180056875A1 – Self-Adjusting Vehicle Mirrors
This patent details a system for automatically adjusting vehicle mirrors based on real-time driving conditions.
Using onboard sensors and a controller, the system calculates optimal mirror angles and adjusts them dynamically, enhancing visibility, reducing blind spots, and improving overall driver safety and comfort.
US20130218724A1 – Vehicle ownership impact evaluation
This patent introduces a system that evaluates the real-world cost of vehicle ownership by simulating commute scenarios. It combines user-provided routes with terrain, climate, and vehicle specification data to estimate energy consumption and calculate roundtrip costs.
The result is a personalized tool that helps users better understand the financial and environmental impact of their daily driving.
