  • Patent number: 10395391
    Abstract: A camera principal point automatic calibration system including an image acquiring device, a controller, a first display and a second display is provided, wherein the controller controls the first and second display to display parallel first line and second line. The controller selectively rotates the first and second line according to whether a first and second image line generated by the image acquiring device corresponding to the first and second line are parallel or not, and the controller calculates the principal point from parallel first image line and second image line.

  • Patent number: 10388031
    Abstract: A method for estimating epipolar geometry and to be performed by a processing module includes the steps of: A) choosing, in each first and third images captured by a first image capturing module, two points which are collinear with a corresponding one of a first reference object in the first image and a second reference object in the third image, such that in each second and fourth images captured by a second image capturing module, two points corresponding to the two points chosen in a respective one of the first and third images are collinear with a corresponding one of the first reference object in the second image and the second reference object in the fourth image; and B) determining first and second epipoles based on the aforementioned points.

  • Patent number: 9990739
    Abstract: A method and device for fisheye camera automatic calibration is disclosed. A first straight line and a second straight line are respectively moved to generate a first fisheye line and a second fisheye line being straight lines. At least two symmetric points are generated on the second straight line based on an intersection of the first straight line and the second straight line as a symmetric central point, so as to correspondingly generate at least two fisheye symmetric points. The second straight line rotates until a distance between the first fisheye line and each of two fisheye symmetric points is equal. Then, central intersection coordinates, fisheye symmetric coordinates, a fisheye symmetric distance are retrieved and used to calculate fisheye parameters.

  • Publication number: 20170131479
    Abstract: An optically visualized anti-counterfeiting electronic integrated apparatus includes a housing, light sources and spectroscopic structures. The housing has tunnels each with an incident end and an exit end respectively present on opposite sides of the housing. The light sources are respectively configured to emit first lights with a first spectrum range. The spectroscopic structures are respectively disposed in the channels, and are respectively configured to separate second lights from the first lights to the exit ends, in which the second lights have a second spectrum range within the first spectrum range.
