  • Publication number: 20120249753
    Abstract: A capturing method for a plurality of images with different view-angles and a capturing system using the same are provided. The capturing method for the images with different view-angles includes the following steps. An appearance image of an object is captured by an image capturing unit at a capturing angle. A light reflection area of the appearance image is detected by a detecting unit, and a dimension characteristic of the light reflection area is analyzed by the same. Whether the dimension characteristic of the light reflection area is larger than a first predetermined value is determined. If the dimension characteristic of the light reflection area is larger than the first predetermined value, then the capturing angle is adjusted within a first adjusting range. After the step of adjusting the capturing angle within a first adjusting range is performed, the step of capturing the appearance image is performed again.

  • Patent number: 8160746
    Abstract: System and method for graphically allocating robot's working space are provided. The system includes an image extractor, a task-allocating server and a robot. A graphic user interface (GUI) of the task-allocating server includes a robot's working scene area, a space attribute allocating area and a robot's task area. Thus, a user assigns one certain space area in the robot's working scene area with a “wall” attribute, or another space area with a “charging station” attribute. Meanwhile, by using the GUI, the user directly assigns the robot to execute a specific task at a certain area. Hence, the user or remote controller facilitates the robot to provide safer and more effective service through his/her environment recognition.
