  • Patent number: 8194930
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus and method for real time motion detection is provided. In the apparatus, a sub-sampling module receives and sub-samples a current image and a plurality of previous images and a census transform module performs census transform on each of the sub-sampled images to obtain a census vector. A correlation calculation module calculates and compares correlation values between the current image and the plurality of previous images and detects a region having highest correlation. A motion detection module tracks positions of pixels corresponding to the region having the highest correlation to detect motion information in the images. The image processing apparatus and method can obtain, in real time, the direction and speed of an object that is in motion in each image.

  • Publication number: 20110147757
    Abstract: An array substrate of a display device, the array substrate: a substrate having a first region and a second region spaced apart from the first region; a blocking layer located on the substrate; a first electrode located on the blocking layer in the second region; an insulating film located on the blocking layer to cover the first electrode; a second electrode located on the insulating film to overlap the first electrode; and a third electrode overlapping the first electrode between the substrate and the blocking layer. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce an area that is occupied by a storage capacitor in a pixel region and to achieve high luminance by increasing the aperture ratio, by providing a structure and method of increasing a storage capacitance of the same area.

  • Publication number: 20100215287
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device and method for detecting changes in background of successive images. More particularly, the invention relates to a device and method for detecting changes in background of successive images by obtaining vertically accumulated values and horizontally accumulated values from multiple binary images of previous image and current image, obtaining pairs of rows and pairs of columns based on the vertically accumulated values and horizontally accumulated values, and transforming pairs of rows and pairs of columns using Hough transformation. Also, the invention relates to an interface system including background changes detecting device and display device connected to the background changes detecting device.

  • Publication number: 20100095288
    Abstract: Provided is a method for updating software of an image device that allows a user to set whether to update the software. In the method, over the air (OTA) data including software update information are received. A digital storage media-command and control (DSM-CC) section table among the received over the air (OTA) data is parsed. A predetermined field inside the digital storage media-command and control (DSM-CC) section table is checked. Whether to perform software update regardless of whether to perform update set by the user is judged as a result of the checking. Software update is performed depending on a result of the judgment.

  • Publication number: 20090245687
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an image processing method and apparatus for detecting the lines of images and the start and end points of the lines. The image processing apparatus includes an edge creation unit, a Hough transform unit, and an effective parameter detection unit. The edge creation unit creates an edge image using external image data input from the outside. The Hough transform unit performs a Hough transform on information about the pixel coordinates of the edge image created by the edge creation unit. The effective parameter detection unit detects the lines of the edge image by checking effective line parameters using the results of the Hough transform. The image processing apparatus may further include an edge list for storing coordinates of effective pixels constituting the edge image and a line parameter list for storing the effective line parameters.
