  • Patent number: 8704875
    Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and method for generating a real-time stereoscopic image from depth map. According to the depth information of the image, a depth-image-based rendering (DIBR) algorithm is used to shift (or move) the position of the object in the image to generate the stereoscopic image with parallax. When the object is shifted (or moved) away from its original position, a hole will occur in the original position. Therefore an image inpainting algorithm is developed to fill the hole. In order to achieve the real-time application, a hardware architecture and method have been developed to accomplish the DIBR and image inpainting algorithm.

  • Patent number: 8654186
    Abstract: A light source system for detecting oral cavity has an illumination module and a filter module. A spectral range of light is illuminated from the illumination module and filtered through the filter module. When light of such spectral range is irradiated onto a diagnostic area, high chromatic difference and contrast existing between areas with pathological change and normal areas is employed to enhance correctness of diagnoses and operations.

  • Patent number: 8454168
    Abstract: A stereo display apparatus includes a support member, at least one projector, a screen, first reflectors, and an actuator. The projector is connected to the support member, and includes a battery and an image memory module. The projector is capable of emitting an image beam. The screen is connected to the support member. The first reflectors surround the support member. The actuator is connected to the support member and is capable of driving the support member to rotate. The support member is capable of driving the projector and the screen to rotate. When the projector and the screen rotate, the image beam is projected onto the first reflectors in sequence, and the first reflectors reflect the image beam onto the screen in sequence.
