  • Publication number: 20240094527
    Abstract: A defog lens for vehicles includes a lens barrel, a lens, and a hydrophilic layer. The lens barrel has an opening toward an object side. The lens is disposed in the lens barrel and is located at the opening. The hydrophilic layer covers a surface of the lens and includes silicone compounds. Water droplets condensed on the lens could form a sheet film sticking to the surface of the lens and hard to form spherical water droplets, thereby improving the problem that the field of view of the conventional lens is blocked by spherical water droplets, effectively improving the clarity of the image captured by the defog lens, and therefore the defog lens could be applied to various environments.

  • Patent number: 10783380
    Abstract: An object counting device includes an image capturer and a processor. The image capturer captures an image sequence related to a gate within a field of view. When an object in the image sequence passes through an entry/exit reference corresponding to the gate, the processor determines a moving direction of the object. When the processor determines that the object moves from a first side of the gate towards a second side of the gate, the processor counts the object into a first accumulated number. When the object exits from the field of view, the processor records an exit position of the object. The processor determines whether to count the object into a second accumulated number according to the exit position.
