  • Patent number: 11682369
    Abstract: A light emitting display can be formed from tiles mounted within a certain distance range with respect to each other and with an established blending region positioned towards the edges of the tiles. A tile can be a matrix of light emitting elements, such as LEDs, OLEDs, quantum dots, or other element that emits light. The tolerance of spacing between tiles can allow for less precision in alignment during installation in a theatre, thereby reducing display assembly cost but still maintaining a display for displaying an image at a high quality with reduced or eliminated appearance of visual artifacts between tiles.

  • Patent number: 11615552
    Abstract: A crossing point detector includes memory and a crossing point detection unit that reads out a square image from a captured image in the memory, and detects a crossing point of two boundary lines in a checker pattern depicted in the square image. The crossing point detection unit decides multiple parameters of a function model treating two-dimensional image coordinates as variables, the parameters optimizing an evaluation value based on a difference between corresponding pixel values represented by the function model and the square image, respectively, and computes the position of a crossing point of two straight lines expressed by the decided multiple parameters to thereby detect the crossing point with subpixel precision. The function model uses a curved surface that is at least first-order differentiable to express pixel values at respective positions in a two-dimensional coordinate system at the boundary between black and white regions.

One example method includes obtaining page code of a first display page group identified by a uniform resource locator (URL) and an overall size occupied by the first display page group in a display area of a browser of a Web sandbox when loading the URL in the browser. After preset dynamic code is injected into the page code of the first display page group, the page code is parsed and executed. A request message is sent when a value of a display variable is greater than or equal to a preset value, to request to obtain page code of a second display page group. A response message that carries the page code of the second display page group is received. It is further detected, in the Web sandbox, whether the page code of the second display page group carries attack code.
