Abstract: An image processing method includes: receiving a processing instruction for an image; screening out a plurality of target images from a plurality of acquired images; determining a first feature value and a second feature value of the target area of each of the target images; determining a similarity between the first feature values of the target areas in every two target images according to all the determined first feature values, and determining a similarity between the second feature values of the target areas in every two target images according to all the determined second feature values; and, if a first target similarity is within a first preset range, and a second target similarity is within a second preset range, determining that a first image and a second image belong to the same image set.

Abstract: A method of configuring a color to be displayed by a lighting device includes: in response to determining that a target color disc mode of a plurality of preset color disc modes is set by a user, obtaining one or more initial color points according to a preset color point selection strategy for the target color disc mode; generating a color disc based on the one or more initial color points, wherein the color disc comprises a plurality of color points, and each of the plurality of color points corresponds to a color; and performing color configuring on the lighting device by using the plurality of color points included in the color disc.

Abstract: The present invention disclose a clock synchronization method. By the operations of: receiving a plurality of data packets sent by a host and acquiring receiving time when each data packet is received and a sending interval at which each two adjacent data packets are sent, wherein each data packet comprises a packet sequence and a first packet timestamp when the first data packet is sent; carrying out screening processing on all data packets according to the sending interval and the receiving time and packet sequence of each data packet so as to obtain at least one valid data packet; obtaining a time compensation value according to the receiving time and packet sequence of each valid data packet, the first packet timestamp, and the sending interval; and adjusting time of a slave according to the time compensation value so as to realize clock synchronization between the slave and the host.

Abstract: Methods and structure for resuming background tasks in a storage environment. storage controller. The system is operable to receive host Input/Output (I/O) requests directed to a logical volume, and to couple with one or more of storage devices provisioning the logical volume. The system is further operable to process the host I/O requests directed to the logical volume, to initiate a background processing task distinct from the host I/O requests and related to the logical volume, and to store progress information on at least one of the one or more storage devices describing progress of the background processing task.

Abstract: Methods and systems for transferring ownership of a logical volume in a storage system comprising multiple storage controllers is provided. According to the method, the storage controllers are coupled for communication with a logical volume, wherein at least one storage device coupled with the storage controllers implements the logical volume. The method comprises identifying, at a first storage controller, a second storage controller to receive the logical volume. The method also comprises initiating a transfer of ownership of the logical volume from the first storage controller to the second storage controller by transferring metadata stored in a memory of the first storage controller to the second storage controller, the metadata existing in a native format that describes the configuration of the logical volume on the at least one storage device.

Abstract: Methods and system are provided for exposing logical volumes to host systems and storage controllers in a consistent manner across a clustered storage system. One embodiment is a storage controller. The storage controller is operable to communicate with other storage controllers within the clustered storage system. The storage controller is further operable to generate a proposed Logical Unit Number (LUN) for a logical volume provisioned at the storage devices, and to communicate with each of the other storage controllers within the clustered storage system requesting that the other storage controllers determine if the proposed LUN is in use. If the proposed LUN is not in use, then storage controller assigns the proposed LUN to the logical volume. If the LUN is in use, then the storage controller generates a new proposed LUN and re-tries communication with the other storage controllers until a unique LUN is found.
