Patent number: 10157441Abstract: A hierarchical system for detecting an object with parallel architecture and a hierarchical method thereof is disclosed. The system includes at least one image-retrieving device retrieving at least an image and searching a plurality of obstacle position images in it. The image-retrieving device is electrically connected with an image-processing device to receive the obstacle position images transmitted by the image-retrieving device, uses parallel architecture classification to obtain at least one object image and a plurality of cropping frames thereof from the obstacle position images, synchronously separates the cropping frames to retrieve characteristic values of each cropping frame, uses convolutional neural network to simultaneously recognize the characteristic values of each cropping frame, and searches and outputs the correct cropping frame from the object image, thereby immediately detecting the object outside a vehicle and obtaining the cropping frame of the object to avoid detection error.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2016Date of Patent: December 18, 2018Assignee: AUTOMOTIVE RESEARCH & TESTING CENTERInventors: Kuo-Ching Chang, Chuan-Ren Li, Zhen-Wei Zhu

Patent number: 9842283Abstract: A target object detection system includes a detection unit and a machine learning unit. The detection unit obtains an image and outputs a notification signal upon determining that a portion of the image resembles a target object by performing a classification operation. The machine learning unit performs a training operation using the image to obtain new weak classifier parameters for update in the detection unit when a determination made using weak classifier parameters used in the classification operation of the detection unit differs from one made using strong classifier parameters.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2016Date of Patent: December 12, 2017Assignee: AUTOMOTIVE RESEARCH & TESTING CENTERInventors: Kuo-Ching Chang, Chuan-Ren Li, Han-Wen Huang

The dummy wafer structure includes: a silicon substrate; a silicon nitride layer over the silicon substrate; and a silicon dioxide layer over the silicon nitride layer. The method includes: a first step of forming a silicon nitride layer over a silicon substrate so as to form a silicon-silicon nitride structure; and a second step of forming a silicon dioxide layer over the silicon-silicon nitride structure obtained in the first step so as to form a silicon-silicon nitride-silicon dioxide structure. Dummy wafers with this special structure are able to avoid deposition rate inconsistency in a polysilicon deposition process and are capable of avoiding conventional dummy wafers' adverse effect on deposit layer thicknesses of process wafers and hence providing the process wafers with deposit layers having a high inter-wafer uniformity.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2012Date of Patent: September 2, 2014Assignee: Shanghai Huali Microelectronics CorporationInventors: Chuan Ren, Zhi Wang, HsuSheng Chang
