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 focusing method, suitable for an image capturing apparatus using in an environment of low brightness, is provided herein. The focusing method includes that an image sensing unit in the image capturing apparatus is wholly or partially divided into a plurality of regions, and digital image data sensed by the image sensing unit is divided into a plurality of sets corresponding to the regions of the image sensing unit. The regional image data corresponding to each of the regions are summed up during the focusing step, so as to obtain a sum of data for each region. Each sum of data is used to calculate a corresponding contrast value, and the contrast value is used to perform calculations for the focusing step, so as to obtain a focus.

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: An optimized audio/video recording and playing system and method executed on the computer executable platform, which is capable of optimally recording various stream files into a recording medium during the recording process based on optimized image resolution, sound sampling rate, the display settings of the display device and the sound settings of the acoustic device. During the playing process, the disclosed technology is capable of selecting the most appropriate stream file to play from the recording medium based on the system resources information, the display setting of the display device, and the sound setting of the acoustic device, so as to achieve the effect of optimized playing.

Abstract: A video recording method for rewriteable optical disks is disclosed. By recording the free space in a recording medium, the method enables the user to record new data through an optimized recording space combination, fully utilizing available space inside the recording medium. When images are recorded in a fragmented recording medium, the invention further provides the function of defragmenting the fragmented image sections, ensuring the wholeness of the recording space and the smoothness in video playing.
