  • Patent number: 11983848
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide a frame processor for processing frames with aliasing artifacts. For example, the frame processor can include a super-resolution (SR) and anti-aliasing (AA) engine and an attention reference frame generator coupled to the SR and AA engine. The SR and AA engine can be configured to enhance resolution and remove aliasing artifacts of a frame to generate a first high-resolution frame with aliasing artifacts and a second high-resolution frame with aliasing artifacts removed. The attention reference frame generator can be configured to generate an attention reference frame based on the first high-resolution frame and the second high-resolution frame.

  • Patent number: 7993018
    Abstract: A light amount adjusting component adapted a projection optical system is provided. The light amount adjusting component has a light incident surface upon which a light beam impinges, and the light incident surface is provided with a surface structure for irregularly dispersing the light beam. A slot that permits the light beam to pass therethrough and enter a light-receiving element is formed on the light amount adjusting component, and a width of the slot changes along an extension direction of the slot to allow control of the amount of the light beam entering the light-receiving element when the light amount adjusting component moves or rotates.

  • Patent number: 7273283
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for an anti-melt projection lens cap includes a sensor that detects whether the projection lens cap covers the projection lens and transmits a detected signal to the control unit including two control modes. The first one is projecting a dark image immediately, as the projection lens cap covers the projection lens for longer than a first set time, the control unit switches to a power-saving mode, when it lasts longer than a second set time, the lamp and the system power supply are turned off, then, a fan cools the lamp, the control unit switches to a standby mode. The second one is switching to the power-saving mode directly, when it lasts longer than a second set time, the lamp and the system power supply are turned off, and a fan cools the lamp, then, the control unit switches to the standby mode.

  • Publication number: 20050073662
    Abstract: A mirror holding apparatus, disposed in a chassis of a scanner, is disclosed. The mirror holding apparatus includes two opposite holding bases and more than one pair of holding plates, for holding the mirror and providing various angles or directions of inclination of the mirror. The pairs of holding plates are not parallel to any other. When the light reflected from the mirror on one pair of holding plates deviates from the original optical path. A substitute mirror hanging at the substitute pair of holding plate can be used to adjust the deviated optical path. Therefore, the wasting of material is avoided and the time and labor for producing a new holding base is saved.

  • Publication number: 20040201704
    Abstract: A vibration compensation device for an optical image scanner. The optical scanner has a platform for holding a scan document, an optical system and a light-sensing device. The compensation device includes a vibration sensor, a controller and an actuator. The vibration sensor mounts on the light-sensing device for detecting magnitude of vibration. The controller connects with the vibration sensor for measuring vibration in the light-sensing device and producing a corresponding actuator signal. The actuator links independently with the controller and the optical system for adjusting the optical system through the actuator according to the actuator signal so that the overall effects caused by vibration are reduced.
