  • Patent number: 8396300
    Abstract: An object-end positioning method is provided for positioning lower ends of two limbs of an object. In the method, a foreground processing is performed on an original image to obtain a foreground image. A number of turning points are obtained according to the foreground image, wherein connection of the turning points forms a polygonal curve. Each turning point is classified to be a convex or concave point according to an included angle between lines connecting the turning point to two adjacent turning points. A number of selected convex points and selected concave points are selected. Two of the selected convex points are selected as two temporary ends. Connection of the two temporary ends and a selected concave point located between the two temporary ends forms a triangle. Two positioning ends for positioning the lower ends of the two limbs of the object are determined according to the two temporary ends.

    Abstract: A computerized data equidistant-mapping method and a computer system using the same are provided. The computerized data equidistant-mapping method is used for mapping M sets of K-dimensional original data into a D-dimensional space in a manner of equidistance. The computerized data equidistant-mapping method includes the following steps. M sets of D-dimensional mapping data each corresponding to each original data respectively and sequentially are generated. An initial mapping data and an initial original data are chosen arbitrarily, wherein the initial mapping data corresponds to the initial original data. The mapping distance between each mapping data and the initial mapping data is computed. The original distance between each original data and the initial original data is computed. Each mapping data is amended according to each mapping distance and each original distance for enabling each mapping data and each original data to have equidistant-mapping relationship gradually.
