ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 30 -- United States Patent no. 12,429,702, issued on Sept. 30, was assigned to AIRY3D INC. (Montreal).

"Imaging systems and methods for dual depth and polarization sensing" was invented by Felix Thouin (Montreal, Canada).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "An imaging system includes a transmissive diffraction mask (TDM), a pixel array, and a processor. The TDM includes a first and a second diffraction grating configured to diffract light received from a scene to generate first diffracted light encoding information about an angle of incidence (AOI) of the received light and second diffracted light encoding information about the AOI and a state of polarization (SOP) of the rece...
