  • Patent number: 9082019
    Abstract: A method of establishing an adjustable-block background model for detecting a real-time image object is provided to obtain a surveillance image by a surveillance apparatus. The surveillance image has a plurality of pixels. The method includes steps of: segmenting the surveillance image into a plurality of blocks each having a first pixel and at least one second pixel; defining the first pixel as a major color and comparing the first pixel with the at least one second pixel to determine a number and color information of the major color in the block; merging the blocks having the same major color into a large block to obtain a block background model; and performing image comparison to identify a moving object image. With the establishment of the block background model, a required memory space is effectively reduced while outstanding image display performance is still maintained.

  • Publication number: 20140311176
    Abstract: A volumetric phase transfer heat dissipating system includes a base, a cap and an atomizing member. The base includes a plurality of conducting members. The cap is engaged with the base to form a chamber. The conducting members are disposed in the chamber and extended toward the cap. The cap includes an inlet connecting portion for being connected to a fluid transmission tube and includes an outlet connecting portion for being connected to a vapor transmission tube. The atomizing member is sleeved to the inlet connecting portion and disposed between the fluid transmission tube and the chamber. A working fluid in the fluid transmission tube flows into the chamber via the atomizing member and forms liquid on inner walls of the chamber and outer walls of the conducting members, and the liquid is vaporized after absorbing heat and flows out via the vapor transmission tube.

  • Patent number: 8301577
    Abstract: An intelligent monitoring system aims to perform object surveillance and tracking, and can quickly build accurate and reliable background data in a complex image condition to achieve desired monitoring result. Based on a dynamic background and a temporary static object and user's requirements, monitoring objects in a background module can be added or deleted to match the actual background information. The whole background data can be tracked according to characteristics of a targeted object set by users, and post-processing can be done for the tracked object, such as zooming, identifying, capturing, surveillance of behaviors, and the like. Thus whether a special attention is needed for a dynamic or static object can be notified. And an alert can be issued to relevant people for timely handling.

  • Publication number: 20120147050
    Abstract: A method for zooming image shown in a touch screen includes reading information of a continuous writing locus formed on the touch screen; selecting a first group of points and a second group of points in the writing locus formed in time sequence; dealing with the first group and second group of points and obtaining a first radius and a second radius; comparing the first radius and the second radius to define a zooming command; executing the zooming command. A touch screen reading such writing locus into zooming command is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20110169631
    Abstract: A real-time alarm system comprises an image capturing element, a network transmission system, a control processing unit and a mobile device. The image capturing element is installed on different sites to generate image information. The image information is transmitted through the network transmission system with one end linking to the image capturing element. The control processing unit is linked to the network transmission system and includes a server, and contains preset information to compare with the image information to generate comparison information. The comparison information is analyzed by a preset algorithm to judge behaviors of objects in the images. The mobile device is linked to the control processing unit to receive the image information. After the control processing unit judges specific behaviors, it actively informs the mobile device to record a video for a selected duration to be seen anytime at a remote site.
