Abstract:
A navigation starting method applied to a navigation device includes: inputting a code to the navigation device, wherein the navigation device has a plurality of target waypoint codes respectively corresponding to a plurality of target waypoints; choosing a specified target waypoint from the plurality of target waypoints according to the code and the plurality of target waypoint codes; and automatically starting a navigation operation corresponding to the specified target waypoint after the specified target waypoint is chosen.
Abstract:
A method for digitally magnifying images applied to an electronic device includes the steps of: reading in a preview image inputted into the electronic device; executing a 2-fold image magnifying process to the preview image; executing a fuzziness removing process to the preview image; segmenting the preview image into a background area and a text area, executing a correspondingly text strengthening process to the text area; and determining if the preview image is magnified up to a predetermined amplification factor; if yes, outputting the preview image after being magnified to a display screen for displaying the preview image; and otherwise, going back to re-execute the 2-fold image magnifying process to the magnified preview image, and then executing the fuzziness removing process and the text strengthening process, in order to generate the preview image magnified about 4-fold or more.
Abstract:
For transforming a 2D image into a 3D image, or for transforming a 2D animation into a 3D animation, depths of the 2D image or the 2D animation are required and corrected by enhancing edges. Moreover, a 3D model is generated according to a corrected 2D depth map, and the 3D model is then filmed by virtual cameras to generate the 3D image or the 3D animation. While generating the 3D animation, key frames are selected for reducing processing time, and depths of unselected frames between the key frames are calculated by using interpolation.
Abstract:
A method of estimating depths on a monocular image displayed on a display is utilized for improving correctness of depths shown on the display. Feature vectors are calculated for each patch on the monocular image for determining an intermediate depth map of the monocular image in advance. For improving the correctness of the intermediate depth map, an energy function in forms of vectors is minimized for calculating a best solution of the depth map of the monocular image. Therefore, the display may display the monocular image according to a calculated output depth map for having an observer of the display to correctly perceive depths on the monocular image.

Abstract:
A method for performing schedule control of a multichannel broadcasting program receiver includes: retrieving viewing plan information from outside the multichannel broadcasting program receiver, for use of determining a program viewing plan for a user, wherein the viewing plan information indicates at least one source viewing plan recommended by at least one other user/service provider; and when it is detected that a current time matches a start time of a specific program indicated by the program viewing plan, triggering the multichannel broadcasting program receiver to turn on a main power of the multichannel broadcasting program receiver, allowing the specific program to be watched/recorded. An associated apparatus is also provided. For example, the apparatus may include a portion of the multichannel broadcasting program receiver, such as a control circuit of the multichannel broadcasting program receiver. In another example, the apparatus may include the whole of the multichannel broadcasting program receiver.
