  • Patent number: 8483951
    Abstract: An image processing method and a system are provided. The image processing method of moving camera comprises the following steps. An image of a road is captured by a first camera unit. A coordinate of the image of an object shown in the image of the road is captured when the image of the object shown in the image of the road is selected. At least an aiming angle of a second camera unit is adjusted according to the coordinate to make the field-of-view of the second camera unit aligned with the object. The image of the object is captured by the second camera unit. The image of the object is enlarged.

  • Patent number: 8345440
    Abstract: An industrial module apparatus includes a frame, a module signal integrated backplane, a plurality of function modules and a module terminal panel. The module signal integrated backplane is disposed at a side of the frame. The function modules can be inserted into the frame and electrically connected to the module signal integrated backplane for signal transmission, and can be removed from the frame for replacement. The function modules include a video analysis module, a network module, and/or a sensing module. The module terminal panel is connected to the module signal integrated backplane and serves as a signal transmission port for the function modules.

  • Patent number: 5897324
    Abstract: An universal multimedia book interfacing device is disclosed in this invention. This device is used for operation with a multimedia book. The interfacing device includes a first adapting connector provided with connection compatibility for electrically connecting to several different multimedia books. Each multimedia book is provided with user interfaces for accepting user input signals therein and delivering user output signals therefrom. The universal interfacing device further includes a second adapting device provided with connection compatibility for electrically connecting to a data storage containing data relating to the multimedia books. The universal interfacing device is provided for electrically transmitting the user input signals received from one of the multimedia books to pre-designated locations in the data storage for generating user output signals and for electrically transmitting the user output signals to the multimedia books.
