Patents by Inventor Hsin-Han Shen

Hsin-Han Shen has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9101326
    Abstract: A method of image reconstruction is provided. When an object is not placed in a measurement space, first intensity images of an electromagnetic wave passing through the measurement space and corresponding to photon energy levels are measured. When the object is placed in the measurement space, second intensity images of the electromagnetic wave passing through the object and corresponding to photon energy levels are measured. In a database, data including an attenuation coefficient of each substance respectively having components irradiated by the electromagnetic wave corresponding to each photon energy level and a thickness of each substance in a transmission direction of the electromagnetic wave corresponding to each photon energy level are provided. Attenuation images of the object respectively corresponding to the components are calculated according to the data and the first and second intensity images. An image reconstruction system and a method and system of image construction are also provided.

  • Patent number: 8508581
    Abstract: A pixel data transformation method that can improve the display quality of a text image in a multi-view autostereoscopic display apparatus is provided. The pixel data transformation method includes following steps. The color values of a first and a second original pixels adjacent to each other are obtained. The first and the second original pixels are replaced respectively with a first and a second pixel arrays according to the color value of the first and the second original pixels. Edge pixels on adjoining sides of the first and the second pixel arrays are combined, wherein a color value of each of the combined pixels is a sum of color values of the two corresponding edge pixels on adjoining sides of the first and the second pixel arrays.

  • Publication number: 20090304076
    Abstract: A memory arrangement method and system for AC/DC prediction in video compression applications based on parallel processing is disclosed. The method and system achieves optimum operating efficiency for data operation and reading based on parallel computing characteristics (Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD)) of an operation unit of the system. Additionally, the method transplants a VC-1 video compression system running in an operating system (the Windows operating system, for example) to a system platform using a digital signal processor (DSP) as an operation unit and implements a real-time VC-1 encoder according to parallel computing characteristics of a hardware core of the system platform.
