  • Patent number: 10602077
    Abstract: An image processing method and an image processing system for eye-gaze correction are provided. The method is applicable to an image processing system having a screen and an image capturing device and includes the following steps. A user's face in front of the screen is captured by the image capturing device to generate a facial image. A head offset and an eye-gaze position of the user with respect to the screen are obtained based on the facial image so as to accordingly determine whether to correct the facial image. If yes, the facial image is corrected based on the eye-gaze position and a preset codebook to generate a corrected facial image, where the preset codebook records correction information of multiple preset eye-gaze positions.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9782916
    Abstract: A waste plastic container recycling system and a method thereof are provided for determining whether the spectrum of a waste container to be recycled belongs to any one of spectrums of plastic materials and for classifying waste containers of different plastic materials since the plastic materials have the different spectral characteristics. Accordingly, the waste plastic container recycling system and the method thereof can accurately recognize the waste containers of different plastic materials regardless of the appearance, or damage, deformation or concealment of the label on the waste containers.

  • Patent number: 9400932
    Abstract: An identification method and an apparatus utilizing the method are disclosed. The disclosed method comprises capturing a first examining image at a first direction, performing a face detection process on the first examining image to identify a first face image in the first examining image, detecting a number of straight lines which are within a detecting image block of the first examining image but outside the first face image, comparing the number of straight lines with a quantity threshold to obtain a first judgment value, and judging if the first face image pass an examination at least according to the first judgment value.
