Abstract:
An image processing method is disclosed. A 2D image is virtually divided into a plurality of blocks. With respect to each block, an optimum contrast value and a corresponding focus step are obtained. An object distance for an image in each block is obtained according to the respective focus step of each block. A depth map is obtained from the object distances of the blocks. The 2D image is synthesized to form a 3D image according to the depth map.
Abstract:
A method of simulating short depth of field for a digital camera is disclosed. The method includes steps of detecting an object distance corresponding to a focus pixel, generating an original image according to the focus distance, and blurring a plurality of pixels of the original image to different extents according to a plurality of contrast values of the plurality of pixels, to generate an image with short depth of field.
Abstract:
A face detection apparatus and a face detection method thereof are provided. The face detection apparatus includes a rectangle integral image unit, a feature mapping unit and a cascade and score unit. The rectangle integral image unit provides a rectangle integral image according to an original image. The feature mapping unit determines a face candidate region according to rectangular face feature templates, and calculates feature values of the rectangular face feature templates according to the rectangle integral image. The cascade and score unit judges whether the face candidate region conforms to cascade conditions or not, and gives the face candidate region a score according to the feature values when the face candidate region conforms to the cascade conditions. The face candidate region is a non-face region if the score of the face candidate region is lower than a threshold value.
Abstract:
An apparatus for sorting a raw data with horizontal division is provided. The apparatus includes a frame memory and a frame data sorting device coupled to the frame memory. The frame memory stores a frame data having m vertical fields, and each of the vertical fields has n horizontal fields. The frame data sorting device sorts at least one first data block having Vstripe rows of the frame data according to the value n to generate a sorted first data block and overwrites the first data block with the sorted first data block. The frame data sorting device also sorts at least one second data block having Hstripe columns of the frame data according to the value m to generate a sorted second data block and overwrites the second data block with the sorted second data block.
Abstract:
A determination method for white-point and a correction method of the white balance are disclosed. In the determination method for white-point of the white balance, first gray cards with different reflection coefficients are detected according to the properties of an image sensing device. Next, the white-point gray line of a first color temperature and the white-point gray line of a second color temperature are intersected on a white-point plane to form a fan area, so as to set the white-point range of the low saturation of the image sensing device. Next, the vertical projection for an image datum is calculated to obtain a placement datum on the white-point plane, and a difference value between the image datum and the placement datum is calculated. Finally, whether the image datum is a white-point is determined according to the difference value and relationship between the placement datum and the fan area.
Abstract:
A method of recording and playing video at an optimized resolution is disclosed. By automatic detection of the resolutions of a display device and an original video, the method determines an optimized resolution for recording and playing video. By this method can satisfy the highest playing requirements of the display device and therefore provide the highest video playing quality to the user. When recording video, the method simultaneously records stream files of the standard resolution and the maximum resolution in different streams. When playing the video, the method also selects the most appropriate stream file according to the resolution data and plays it.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a method of authoring a DVD video recording on an external storage device, the steps of this method comprise; receiving authoring data, the authoring data is used to modify a recording file. The recording file records the authoring of the DVD video recording. Then, modifying the recording file according to the received authoring data on an external storage device until all authoring operations are done. Finally, burning the recording file on a specific area of the DVD.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a chuck engagement lock mechanism which mainly has a chuck head and a lower sleeve holder for clamping a tool such as a drill bit, and a rotatable joint engaged at the side edge of the lower sleeve holder. The lateral side at one end of the rotatable joint and the bottom end face of the chuck head are respectively formed with engaging teeth that can be meshed with each other for adjusting the tightness of clamping from the chuck head to the tool. A rectangular opening is provided at the other end of the rotatable joint for fitting with a hand tool having a lever. Thus, the rotatable joint can be turned by the hand tool so that users can adjust the clamping tightness of the chuck head to the tool conveniently. Thus, the chuck engagement lock mechanism of the present invention has high value in practical application and business competitiveness.
