  • Publication number: 20240193958
    Abstract: A processing method for vehicle surround view, a vehicle surround view system and an in-vehicle processing device are provided. The processing method for vehicle surround view includes the following steps: obtaining a first exterior image and a second exterior image; recognizing a first interest object in the first exterior image and a second interest object in the second exterior image; fitting the first interest object to a first geometric contour and fitting the second interest object to a second geometric contour; applying the first geometric contour and the second geometric contour on a 3D model, to obtain a ground point, a first contour position and a second contour position; obtaining a merged contour position according to the ground point; and projecting the first interest object or the second interest object at the merged contour position on a vehicle surround image.

  • Patent number: 11874927
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus and a secure firmware update method thereof are provided. The electronic apparatus includes a first integrated circuit chip, a first non-volatile memory chip, a second integrated circuit chip and a second non-volatile memory chip. The first integrated circuit chip includes a secure firmware update console, and the first non-volatile memory chip includes a spare data storage space. The first non-volatile memory chip and the second non-volatile memory chip store a first firmware code of the first integrated circuit chip and a second firmware code of the second integrated circuit chip, respectively. Firmware code update data are transferred to and stored in the spare data storage space. The secure firmware update console performs a firmware update procedure by writing the firmware code update data into the second non-volatile memory chip to overwrite the second firmware code after passing a verification procedure on the firmware code update data.
