  • Patent number: 11164321
    Abstract: A motion tracking system includes a first image-capturing module, a computing module and a database. The first image-capturing module captures the full body motion of an object to obtain a depth image. The database provides a plurality of training samples, wherein the training samples include a plurality of depth feature information related to joint positions of the object. The computing module receives the depth image, performs an association operation and a prediction operation for the depth image to obtain a plurality of first joint positions of the object. The computing module projects the first joint positions to a three-dimensional space to generate a three-dimensional skeleton of the object. The depth image includes an image in which limbs of the object are not occluded or an image in which some of limbs of the object are not occluded and the others of limbs of the object are occluded.

  • Patent number: 10386935
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method can include receiving, at a computing device having one or more processors, a user input in a first writing system. The method can include determining one or more candidates based on the user input that correspond to the user input represented in a second writing system different than the first writing system. The method can include determining whether at least one of the candidates corresponds to a proper name of a geographic location and, when at least one of the candidates corresponds to the proper name of the geographic location, determining a local name of the geographic location. The local name can be the proper name of the geographic location in a local language associated with the geographic location. The method can include augmenting the one or more candidates to include the local name to obtain an augmented candidate list, and outputting the augmented candidate list.

  • Publication number: 20180074648
    Abstract: A tapping detecting device, a tapping detecting method and a smart projecting system using the same are provided. The tapping detecting device comprises a fingertip size providing unit, a laser emitting unit, a laser sensing unit and a processing unit. The fingertip size providing unit is used for providing the size of a fingertip of a finger. The laser emitting unit is used for providing a laser at a parallel surface above a plane. The laser sensing unit is used for capturing a reflecting image which shows the reflection of the laser caused by the fingertip. The processing unit is used for obtaining a reflecting region according to the reflecting image, and for adjusting a threshold value according to the size of the fingertip. If the area of the reflecting region is larger than the threshold value, then the processing unit deems that the fingertip touches the plane.

  • Publication number: 20140335233
    Abstract: Asparagus spears may be stored and displayed for sale, and sold, in individual containers having a reservoir containing a volume of water, with a group of asparagus spears arranged in the container such that their white tips are in contact with the volume of water. This allows the asparagus spears to be moved from a retail display, to a shopping cart, to a shopping bag, and eventually to a customer's home, without having to remove the white tips of the asparagus from contact with the water. One exemplary container has a waist between the first end and the second end of the container and tapers inwardly from the waist toward the first end and toward the second end. This tapering shape permits air to flow between adjacent containers when the containers are packed together for shipping.
