  • Generating a stitched image or three-dimensional model from one or more dimension extractable objects comprising spatial metadata for a captured image or video
    Patent number: 10834376
    Abstract: The invention relates to capturing a still or moving image as well as object position and displacement data for the image, storing the image and the data as a dimension extractable object, and utilizing the dimension extractable object. In one embodiment, the dimension extractable object is used in a method of stitching a plurality of images together to form a stitched image. In another embodiment, the dimension extractable object is used in a method of generating a stitched image from a video image. In another embodiment, the dimension extractable object is used in a method of generating a three-dimensional model from a video image.

  • MIS semiconductor device formed by utilizing SOI substrate having a semiconductor thin film formed on a substrate through an insulating layer
    Patent number: 5243213
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a MIS semiconductor device having a semiconductor layer formed on an insulating substrate and a gate electrode formed on this semiconductor layer through a gate insulating film, which is provided with a semiconductor region of a second conductivity type or a metal layer formed adjacent to a source region of a first conductivity type but separated from a channel region, thereby suppressing degradation of breakdown voltage caused by impact ionization, which is a defect of the MIS semiconductor device formed on an SOI substrate, to improve the reliability of this kind of MIS semiconductor devices.
