  • Publication number: 20140002595
    Abstract: The present embodiments include methods, systems, and apparatuses for foreground biased depth map refinement in which horizontal gradient of the texture edge in color image is used to guide the shifting of the foreground depth pixels around the large depth discontinuities in order to make the whole texture edge pixels assigned with foreground depth values. In such an embodiment, only background information may be used in hole-filling process. Such embodiments may significantly improve the quality of the synthesized view by avoiding incorrect use of foreground texture information in hole-filling. Additionally, the depth map quality may not be significantly degraded when such methods are used for hole-filling.

  • Publication number: 20140003474
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides for the construction and use of a set of Zero-Correlation-Zone (ZCZ) Concatenated Complementary Pair (CCP) sequences with zero-correlation-zone range greater than one or with zero-correlation-zone range equal to one and the sequence set size greater than two. Complementary pair sequences A and B are selected and, for each member of the set of ZCZ CCP sequences, sign sequences pA and pB are combined with the complementary pair sequences to form a member ZCZ CCP sequence of the set. A ZCZ CCP sequence modified by propagation over a communication channel may be identified by cross-correlation with ZCZ CCP sequences of the set. A set of sign sequences may be constructed by recursive expansion from an initial set or found by a computer search. The sequences may be used in a transceiver of a portable electronic device or other communication device.

  • Publication number: 20140002275
    Abstract: The present invention provides an integrated system of full optical complete bridge safety monitoring with speech warming for smart phones. The Integrated system of full optical complete bridge safety monitoring includes a stabilizing device, optical sensing device and communication device. The basic structure involves cable and optical fiber connecting two ends and joined by heat shrink tubes. A measuring segment is located between two heat shrink tubes. The stabilizing device provides a pre-determined tensile strength to the measuring segment. The optical fiber sensing device detects a response via a Fiber Bragg grating in the optical fiber's measuring segment. When the measuring segment receives a response, it changes from first phase to second phase and creates a signal change from the reflected signals. Signal processing device converts the signal changes to physical parameters. The communication device sends warning signals to users.
