  • Publication number: 20230169796
    Abstract: An image analysis method includes the flowing steps. Firstly, an image stream is received. Then, a to-be-analyzed frame of the image stream is analyzed to obtain a scene type of the to-be-analyzed frame. Then, whether the scene type of the to-be-analyzed frame is a classification of needing posture analysis is determined. Then, a human body posture of a human body image of the to-be-analyzed frame is obtained when the scene type of the to-be-analyzed frame is the classification of needing posture analysis. Then, an event type of the to-be-analyzed frame according to the scene type and the human body posture is determined.

  • Patent number: 5801997
    Abstract: A reciprocating or ping-pong voltage boosting circuit is described. The ping-pong boosting circuit has a first and a second boost circuit connected between the power supply voltage source and a ground reference point to generate a first instance and a second instance of a boost voltage. The reciprocating circuit has a switching circuit to alternately place the first and second instance of the boost voltage upon the signal line to bring the voltage level of the signal line to that of the boost voltage. A boost control circuit will provide a switching signal that will control the alternate placing of the first and second instances of the boost voltage upon the signal line. The boost control circuit will provide a boost signal that will cause the first and second boost circuits to generate the first and second instances of the boost voltage.
