  • Publication number: 20090195500
    Abstract: A coordinate determining system is disclosed. The coordinate determining system comprises an image capturing module, a dividing module, a determining module, and a converting module. The image capturing module is used for capturing a plurality of images corresponding to the screen. The dividing module is used for dividing an overlapping image region of the images into a target image comprising a plurality of sub-regions. The determining module is used for determining a position of the indicating point on the target image. If the indicating point is in a target sub-region among the sub-regions and has an image coordinate relative to an original of the target sub-region, the converting module will convert the image coordinate into the screen coordinate according to a proportional parameter.

  • Publication number: 20090066662
    Abstract: The invention provides a system for distinguishing multiple touch points. The system comprises a panel, a first image capturing unit, a second image capturing unit, at least one third image capturing unit, and a processing unit. N touch points are indicated on the panel. A first image and a second image related to the N touch points are captured by the first image capturing unit and the second image capturing unit. At least one third image related to the N touch points is captured by the at least one third image capturing unit. N sets of coordinates corresponding to the N touch points are calculated by the processing unit according to the first image and the second image. And, a set of real coordinates corresponding to the N touch points is determined from the N sets of coordinates according to the at least one third image.

  • Publication number: 20090052789
    Abstract: The invention provides an image processing apparatus for processing an interlaced video which includes a judging module, a determining module and a processing module. The judging module is used for judging if a pixel in the kth frame among P frames of the interlaced video relates to a moving object. If the result judged by the determining module is YES, the determining module determines one between two pixels adjacent to the judged pixel in the frame as an edge pixel relative to an edge of the moving object. The first processing module is used for calculating a gray scale of the edge pixel determined by the determining module in an average way.

  • Publication number: 20090010565
    Abstract: The invention discloses a noise reduction device for adjusting gray levels of a video sequence to reduce noises. The noise reduction device of the invention includes a motion detector and a first noise reduction module. The motion detector is used for determining whether an inputted pixel is a motion pixel or a static pixel. If the pixel is a motion pixel, the first noise reduction module directly outputs the pixel without adjustment. If the pixel is a static pixel, the first noise reduction module adjusts the gray level of the pixel according to previous image frame. Because the invention only stores previous image frame, and does not utilizes multiple continuous image frames to adjust the present image frame. Therefore, the display system of the invention needs only to be installed with one buffer, and hardware resource can be further saved.

  • Patent number: 5422651
    Abstract: An improved pivotal structure for cordless telephone antenna is provided primarily by connecting the swivel head for mounting the antenna rod to the upper end of a plastic insulation cover with an antiskid seat which is provided on its surface with straight circumferential indentations, the lower end of the plastic insulation cover being secured to a high frequency connector, in which the antiskid seat is secured in the plastic insulation cover and the swivel head is pivoted in riveting manner to the antiskid seat by a resilient washer so as to provide a certain holding force, a pair of planar washer being interposed therebetween to provide a better friction surface such that the pivotal connector can be effectively positioned to whatever place to which the pivotal connector is rotated.
