  • Patent number: 11902492
    Abstract: An image processing method includes: calculating a rotation matrix to eliminate vertical parallax by converting stereo image captured by stereo camera as if it is image captured by camera rotated about an origin of camera coordinate system, wherein the stereo image includes left image obtained by left camera and right image obtained by right camera; calculating a rotation matrix to adjust the horizontal parallax of the left image and a rotation matrix to adjust the horizontal parallax of the right image; calculating a geometric transformation matrix for the stereo image based on each camera characteristic matrix representing lens characteristics, the rotation matrix for eliminating vertical parallax, and the rotation matrices for adjusting horizontal parallax; and generating new stereo image in which vertical parallax is eliminated and horizontal parallax is adjusted by performing image warping for the stereo image captured by the stereo camera based on the calculated geometric transformation matrix.

  • Patent number: 11745871
    Abstract: Disclosed are an anti-drone method using a GPS spoofing signal and a system thereof. According to an embodiment of the inventive concept, an anti-drone method may include injecting a GPS spoofing signal to analyze a drone feature of a target drone and hijacking the target drone by injecting a GPS spoofing signal into the target drone based on a drone hijacking strategy corresponding to the analyzed drone feature among predefined drone hijacking strategies. The analyzing of the drone feature may include injecting the GPS spoofing signal to analyze a safety device mechanism (GPS fail-safe) and a path-following algorithm of the target drone.

  • Patent number: 10414045
    Abstract: Disclosed are a device and a method for controlling a motor. According to a specific embodiment of the present disclosure, an input shaft of a motor is provided with a low-resolution absolute position detector and an output shaft of the motor is provided with a low-resolution absolute position detector having a resolution greater than or equal to a reduction gear ratio. An initial offset and an offset are defined accordingly, and a high-resolution output shaft absolute position is derived from a relational expression, which is defined by an input shaft absolute position received at a predetermined time interval, a derived offset, an output shaft absolute position, and the reduction gear ratio, such that it is possible to easily detect the high-resolution output shaft absolute position by using a low-price absolute position detector without the modification or addition of an actuator.

  • Patent number: 7417219
    Abstract: Using a realistic plasmonic model, an optically thick electrically conductive film with subwavelength hole or holes therein is shown to always support propagating modes near the surface plasmon frequency, where cross-sectional dimensions of the hole or holes are less than about ?/2nh, ? being the wavelength of the light and nh the refractive index of the dielectric material in the hole or holes. This is the case even when material losses are taken into account. Based on the dispersion analysis, in both a single hole or hole array designs, propagating modes play a dominant role in the transport properties of incident light. These structures exhibit a new region of operation, while featuring a high packing density and diffraction-less behavior.
