Patent number: 10230935Abstract: A method and a system for generating depth information associated with an image. The system comprises a segmentation module arranged to identify a plurality of objects represented by the image, wherein each object adjacent to another object are identified by an edge arranged to substantially separate the object and the adjacent object; and a processing module arranged to generate the depth information by assigning a depth value for each of the plurality of objects, wherein the depth value is arranged to represent a distance between the object and a reference point in a three-dimensional space.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2017Date of Patent: March 12, 2019Assignee: Marvel Digital LimitedInventors: Ying Chiu Herbert Lee, Wai Keung Cheung

Patent number: 9918175Abstract: Method, equipment and apparatus for acquiring a spatial audio direction vector, the method including: determining a position of a sound source in a multi-sound system; setting a parameter comprising: a human response time ?t and a tolerance percentage ?; acquiring a sound signal from the sound source; and processing the sound signal by using the parameter and acquiring a corresponding spatial audio direction vector {right arrow over (E)} within each time interval ?t. A proportional constant D is determined according to a modulus of a spatial audio direction vector {right arrow over (E)}, and provides spatial information of depth for a virtual image corresponding to a multi-tone audio signal. A vector angle ?E the spatial audio direction vector {right arrow over (E)} provides spatial information of direction for the virtual image corresponding to the multi-tone audio signal, to improve viewer's viewing experience.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2016Date of Patent: March 13, 2018Assignee: Marvel Digital LimitedInventors: Ying Chiu Herbert Lee, Ho Sang Lam, Tin Wai Grace Li
