Abstract: An image processing apparatus and an image processing method are provided. A storage unit of the image processing apparatus stores an image and a piece of intensity statistical information of the image. The piece of intensity statistical information records that the image has a first number of pixels having a first intensity value, a second number of pixels having a second intensity value, and a third number of pixels having a third intensity value. A micro-processing unit of the image processing unit calculates a centralization degree of the second intensity value in the image according to the first number, the second number, and the third number. If the centralization degree is greater than a threshold, the micro-processing unit adjusts the intensity value of a pixel having the second intensity value in the image according to the second intensity value and the intensity value of the at least one neighboring pixel of the pixel.

Abstract: A real-time navigation electronic device based on determining current traffic rule information includes a positioning unit, a user interface, an information detecting-and-generating unit and a processing unit. The information detecting-and-generating unit detects and generates information for determining real-time traffic rule. The processing unit generates a navigation route according to the destination and the present position. The processing unit receives the information for determining real-time traffic rule. The processing unit determines if the information for determining real-time traffic rule conflicts with the navigation route or makes the navigation route not the quickest route. The processing unit re-generates the navigation route according to the destination, the present position and the information for determining real-time traffic rule when the information for determining real-time traffic rule conflicts with the navigation route or makes the navigation route not the quickest route.

Abstract: First, the image recognition method of the present invention transforms a first Cartesian coordinate value of a first image and a second Cartesian coordinate value of a second image in the Cartesian coordinate system into a first polar coordinate value and a second polar coordinate value in a polar coordinate system, respectively. Afterwards, the image recognition method adjusts the first image and the second image to multiple scales based on a radial coordinate of the polar coordinate system, and obtains a plurality of first local description values and a plurality of second local description values by analyzing the first interest points of the first image and the second interest points of the second image on the multiple scales, respectively. Finally, by intercomparing the first local description values and the second local description values, a matching feature between the first image and the second image is recognized.

Abstract: A buffer packing apparatus for packing an object and increasing the buffering capacity between the object and a packaging box is provided. The buffer packing apparatus comprises a U-shaped column body and a pair of buffering sleeves. The two carrier boards in the U-shaped column body support the upper and lower surface of the object. The buffering sleeves are engaged to the respective ends of the U-shaped column body to form a buffering space for protecting the object against external impact. The corners of the buffer packing apparatus are also chamfered to increase the buffering capacity of buffering sleeves when the packaging box receives an external impact.

Abstract: A buffer packing apparatus for packing a plurality of objects is provided. The buffer packing apparatus comprises a plurality of rectangular partition boards and a plurality of buffer columns. The rectangular partition boards form a plurality of compartments for buffering and accommodating the objects. Through the selection of different buffer column designs, orientation of the objects inside the buffer packing apparatus can be easily identified. With chamfers on every corner of the buffer packing apparatus, the shock produced by an external impact can be readily absorbed thereby increasing the buffering capacity of the packing.

Abstract: An Internet/telephone adapter device and method is provided to automatically detect the communication type of an incoming call. The Internet/telephone adapter device comprises an auto-detecting means for providing a mechanism to detect the communication type of an incoming call by means of the feature rings. The feature rings have a predetermined feature distinguishable from non-feature rings. Whenever the auto-detecting means determines the communication type of the incoming call, it sends a control signal to CPU. In response to the control signal, the CPU will automatically switch the linkage to the Internet or to the PSTNs without further human operations.
