DDD awarded new US patent
DDD Group plc (AIM: DDD, OTCQX: DDDGY, 'the Group', 'DDD'), the advanced imaging and 3D solutions company, announces that it has been granted a new US patent that expands the patent coverage of DDD's latest TriDef SmartCam solutions.
The new patent (Application 13/232,586) was filed in September 2010 and describes image processing technology for modelling the human body using face detection from which improved depth information is generated.
Applications of the new patent include removing the background from a photo or video sequence in real-time and other depth enhanced image effects that the Group recently began commercializing in its new TriDef SmartCam and soon-to-be-released UPix applications.
Chris Yewdall, DDD's Chief Executive Officer said:
"As DDD continues to expand its licensing program into new growth markets including video conferencing, game casting and social photography, it is important that we continue to secure patent protection in key markets for the core inventions that form the foundation for our new products. Our patent library continues to evolve in step with our commercial activities."
