  • Publication number: 20250104191
    Abstract: A detecting system includes a camera and a processor. The camera is configured to capture a first target object to generate a first image and is configured to capture a second target object different from the first target object to generate a second image. The processor is configured to detect the first image by using a first model to generate a first result and is configured to train the first model by using the first result. When the processor trains the first model by using the first result, the camera captures the second target object. After the camera captures the second target object, the processor further trains the first model by using the second image.

  • Publication number: 20240195945
    Abstract: A method for automatically detecting a projector configuration and a projection system are provided. First, multiple projectors are searched in a network domain, and each projector is correspondingly equipped with an imaging apparatus. Next, the projectors are driven to project, and the imaging apparatuses are driven to capture images. Afterwards, the projectors are grouped based on one or more projected ranges comprised in an imaging range of the imaging apparatus corresponding to each projector. A configuration relationship of the projected ranges of the projectors in the same group is determined for overlapping areas between the projected ranges of the projectors grouped in the same group. The method for automatically detecting the projector configuration and the projection system proposed by the disclosure can automatically detect the actual configuration relationship of the projectors.
