ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 8 -- United States Patent no. 12,437,443, issued on Oct. 7, was assigned to Carl Gold (Albany, Calif.).

"Curvature selective convolution filters for visual processing" was invented by Carl Steven Gold (Albany, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Systems and methods for configuring and training neural networks for visual processing tasks, specifically focusing on higher-order feature selectivity with techniques to preconfigure higher-order features into convolutional neural networks (CNNs). The method involves configuring an artificial neural network to be selective to contours comprising curved sections and straight or nearly straight sections. This includes creating a...
