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:
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:
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 portal frame platform comprises at least three elongate tubular legs extending vertically downward from a top above the waterline to the seabed without horizontal or diagonal bracing members in-between, and a horizontal deck with at least three circular sleeves concentrically coupled to the top of the legs supporting a wind turbine in an in-service configuration. The portal frame platform supporting the wind turbine has an installation configuration with two barges connected to opposite sides of the deck, and the legs extending vertically upward from a bottom above the waterline through the circular sleeves. A construction method includes twelve-steps for quayside assembling, sea-towing and self-installing the portal frame platform with the wind turbine and foundation piles wherein the portable frame platform is converted from the installation configuration to the in-service configuration by lowering the legs through the circular sleeves using wire and winch systems on the two barges.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a completely innovative theory and method of macroscopic dynamic management of internet/web map markers on mobile devices such as smartphones and PCs, which is characterized by using accurate latitude and longitude coordinates to represent virtual internet/web entities that do not exist here at all but somewhere else or completely do not exist in the real world, and the markers will realistically represent these virtual entities on the internet/web map and give users the same feeling as real entities and markers. By pioneering and implementing the concepts of internet/web virtual markers, virtual business, virtual business entities and virtual entity tables, the present invention can greatly stimulate the economic activities of the network to bring about tremendous commercial benefits to businesses and customers with low cost, high efficiency and quick response.

In some examples, a window in an image may be identified. At least one property of the window may be identified. Based on the at least one property, whether the window is an error block may be determined.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses the foundation theory and method of the internet map/platform Iconology/Markerology which is characterized in followings: the invention firstly establishes the foundation theory of internet map/platform iconology, its specification, standards and methods including a complete theoretical dynamic icon/marker management system, basic concepts, categories, judgments and inferences, definitions, rules and methods, According to the foundation theory and method of Internet Map/Platform Iconology/Markerology, the user can use the iconology theory and methods specified in the present invention to identify almost everything on the internet maps or platforms and to perform various operations and to control all of the icons/markers on the internet maps/platforms and also to connect to variety of external network resource and network platforms to get in touch with various network businesses through these internet map icons/markers enriched with infinite network resource spaces. Actually, Icon/marker economic activity that is currently limited with traditional Internet map technology so far will become main tendency in future with the present invention. In particular, the present invention assigns a unique icon/marker Identification (IID) number to each valid icon/marker on the internet map and in future we can use this IID to identify almost everything on any kinds of network platforms and can control all the targets/objects of both the Internet of Things (IoT) and the Internet just by controlling all the icons/markers on the internet map/platform through unique icon/marker Identification number (IID). The Cardinality of icon/marker Identification (IID) is Second Level Infinity.
