  • Publication number: 20240144718
    Abstract: An image processing method includes the following steps. A plurality of facial landmarks of a face frame are analyzed. A feature width is calculated according to the facial landmarks, and a head pose is analyzed according to the facial landmarks. The head pose is utilized to update the feature width to generate an updated width. A scale ratio of the updated width to an initial width is calculated. An object distance of a virtual camera is controlled according to the scale ratio. A two-dimensional image is captured from a virtual scene according to the object distance of the virtual camera.

    Abstract: A blind assembly includes first and second side seats, a rotatable winding shaft, a shade member wound on the winding shaft, and a winding device. The winding device has a fixing unit, a coupling barrel, and a scroll spring. The fixing unit has a fixing portion disposed non-rotatably on the first side seat, and a spring-mounting portion extending oppositely to the fixing portion. The coupling barrel is disposed in and co-rotatable with the winding shaft, and is rotatable relative to the fixing unit. The scroll spring has opposite ends disposed respectively on the spring-mounting portion and the coupling barrel, such that rotation of the coupling barrel generates a resilient force for retracting the shade member.

  • Patent number: 7832453
    Abstract: An adjustable structure of a curtain for adjusting the angle of curtain blades includes a winding tube disposed in an upper rail. A pulling string is wound around the winding tube for controlling the rise and fall of the curtain and then passes through the curtain blades. One end of the winding tube is disposed with a rubbing wheel for hanging the top end of a suspending string provided for insertion of the curtain blades. Thereby, during the rise and fall of the curtain blades, the suspending string is pulled towards the rotating direction of the winding tube, so that the angle of the curtain blades is adjusted.
