  • Publication number: 20240134538
    Abstract: A memory operation method, comprising: when a first super block of a memory device is a open block (or in programming state), obtaining a first read count of one of a plurality of first memory blocks in the first super block, wherein the first read count is a number of times that data of one of the first memory blocks is read out; determining whether the first read count is larger than a first threshold; and when the first read count is larger than the first threshold, moving a part of the data in the first super block to a safe area in the memory device, wherein the part of the data comprises data in the first memory block.

  • Patent number: 11218643
    Abstract: An exposure compensating method applied to a camera apparatus includes acquiring a monitoring image captured by the camera apparatus via an exposure parameter, computing an estimating exposure compensating value of the monitoring image according to a triggering threshold, analyzing continuity in pixels of the monitoring image with intensity conforming to a specific condition to acquire a weighting adjustment value of a region of interest, adjusting the estimating exposure compensating value via the weighting adjustment value to generate a final exposure compensating value, and adjusting the exposure parameter by the final exposure compensating value.

  • Patent number: 11012592
    Abstract: An image analyzing method of detecting a dimension of a region of interest inside an image is applied to an image analyzing device. The image analyzing method includes positioning an initial triggering pixel unit within a detective identifying area inside the image, and assigning a first detection region via a center of the initial triggering pixel unit, positioning a first based pixel unit conforming to a first target value inside the first detection region, applying a mask via a center of the first based pixel unit to determine whether a first triggering pixel unit exists inside the mask, and utilizing a determination result of the initial triggering pixel unit and the first triggering pixel unit to decide a maximal dimension of the region of interest.

  • Patent number: 10904447
    Abstract: A metering compensation method for effectively increasing visibility of an image is applied to a monitoring camera apparatus. The metering compensation method includes acquiring a histogram of the image, setting a convergent target value and a minimal mapping value, utilizing the convergent target value and the minimal mapping value to set a weighting function, transforming the histogram into a weighted histogram via the weighting function for acquiring an intensity mean of the weighted histogram, and utilizing the convergent target value and the intensity mean to generate a first exposure compensation value. The first exposure compensation value can be used for determining whether to adjust an exposure parameter of the monitoring camera apparatus.
