Abstract: For an ultrasound image acquired by an ultrasound detection system, background data with small noises are first filtered. Next, a binary image is generated by performing image binarization on the noise-reduced ultrasound image based on a first threshold value, wherein the binary image contains information associated with the body of high-echo foreground images in the ultrasound image. An output image is generated by performing foreground expansion on the binary image based on the pixel value of the ultrasound image and a second threshold value smaller than the first threshold value, wherein the output image contains information associated with not only the body but also the outline of high-echo foreground images in the ultrasound image. An improved ultrasound image is generated by performing a post-processing on the ultrasound image according to information of foreground and non-foreground region in the output image.

Abstract: An adjusting method for adjusting shooting parameters is applied to adjust the shooting parameters according to stability of a camera. In the method, an image is captured first, and an edge-detection procedure is performed on the image to obtain a still value corresponding to a stable state of the camera. Then, shooting parameters, such as a photosensitivity value, an exposure time, or an aperture value, of the camera are adjusted according to the still value.

Abstract: A backlight photographing method is applicable in a digital camera. In the backlight photographing method, a backlight detection program is first executed to obtain a backlight flag. Next, when the backlight flag is in a backlight status, a flash is emitted and a photo is photographed. In addition, photographing parameters of the digital camera may be adjusted according to a low brightness characteristic value acquired by the backlight detection program, so as to obtain a photo having a foreground with a preferred exposure effect.

Abstract: An automatic exposure control method is used to control a shooting exposure parameter for shooting an image by a shooting end. At least one middle brightness value is acquired between a brightness value of a background region and an overall brightness value, and then a relation between working distances of a flash light and a practical distance of an object is determined sequentially from the brightness value of the background region to extend towards the overall brightness value, in which the working distances of the flash light are respectively corresponding to the brightness value of the background region, the middle brightness values, and the overall brightness value, so as to obtain a shooting exposure parameter and to selectively activate the flash light, thereby adjusting the overall brightness of the image to be shot, so as to obtain an image with a proper overall brightness.
