  • Patent number: 8275191
    Abstract: The invention provides an image processing apparatus for generating coordination calibration points. The image processing apparatus includes a subtracting module, an edge detection module and an intersection point generation module. The subtracting module subtracts a first image from a second image to generate a first subtracted image, and subtracts the first image from a third image to generate a second subtracted image. The edge detection module performs an edge detection process for the first subtracted image to generate a first edge image, and performs the edge detection process for the second subtracted image to generate a second edge image, wherein the first edge image includes a first edge and the second edge image includes a second edge. The intersection point generation module generates, according to the first and second edges, an intersection point pixel, serving as the coordination calibration point corresponding to the first edge and the second edge.

  • Patent number: 8149215
    Abstract: The invention discloses a cursor control method applied to a presentation system. The presentation system comprises a computer, an imaging plane, an optical pointer, a camera, and a projector. The projector is a mobile or built-in projector of the computer for projecting output from the computer onto the imaging plane, wherein the output of the computer comprises an internal cursor generated by the computer. The optical pointer is used for projecting an external cursor onto the imaging plane. The camera is a mobile or built-in camera of the computer for capturing an image of the imaging plane. After capturing the image, a processor of the computer detects both a first position of the external cursor and a second position of the internal cursor corresponding to the image, calculates a shift vector between the first and second positions, and moves the internal cursor based on the shift vector.

  • Patent number: 8120648
    Abstract: The invention discloses a method for displaying a stereoscopic image, wherein the stereoscopic image includes a first-eye image and a second-eye image. The method is to firstly calculate a shift of the first-eye image with respect to the second-eye image. Then, the method moves the first-eye image for a length of a shift. Afterward, the method outputs the moved first-eye image and the second-eye image to display the stereoscopic image. Thereby, the parallax of the stereoscopic image is adjusted, so as to enhance the synthesizing effect of the stereoscopic image created.

  • Publication number: 20100207910
    Abstract: The invention discloses an optical sensing screen for selectively sensing an object and a light pen. A first photo-emitter is disposed in a light pen for emitting a first light. The optical sensing screen includes a panel, an illuminating device, at least two first photo-sensing devices, and a processor. The illuminating device is used to form a background light source. The first photo-sensing devices are used to detect the first light and the background light source. The processor is capable of calculating the coordinate of the object according to the interdicted background light source. When any of the first photo-sensing devices detects the light pen, the processor will drive the illuminating device not to form the background light source and to calculate the coordinate of the first photo-emitter according to the detected first light.
