Abstract From the Canadian patent

A system and method for combining image data are disclosed. Sensor data sets (210, 212) are received from sensors (112). An image metric (214) with slots (217) is generated by repeating the following for each sensor data set (210 212) until a final slot (217) of the image metric (214) is reached: generating display data from a subset of a sensor data set (210) for a slot (217) of the image metric, and generating display data from a subset of a next sensor data set (212) for a next slot (217) of the image metric (214). An image generated from the image metric (214) is displayed.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed January 5, 2004 and granted February 26, 2013. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended January 5, 2024.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by January 5, 2026.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
