  • Patent number: 10634823
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the technical area of lens, particularly discloses a lens for focusing or collimating light emitted from an extended light source, which comprises a front surface facing towards the extended light source and a back surface facing away from the extended light source, wherein at least one of the surfaces comprises a central section and a plurality of annular sections concentrically surrounding the central section; and wherein each of the annular section corresponds to a small portion of the extended light source. A method of designing the above lens is also disclosed. Additionally, the present invention provides a cost-effective lens design with high precision and more particularly, a lens design which meets the transmittance requirement for extended light source.

  • Patent number: 10230935
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 9918175
    Abstract: 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.
