Patents by Inventor Kai-Yu Tseng

Kai-Yu Tseng 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: 10798288
    Abstract: A multi-camera electronic device and a control method thereof are proposed. The method includes the following steps. At least one camera of the electronic device is used for scene detection to generate photographing analysis information. All the photographing analysis information is collected, and joint photographing information including a joint target is generated through a communication process among all the cameras. An individual photographing parameter of each camera is generated according to the joint photographing information. Each camera is controlled to capture an image of the scene by using its individual photographing parameter to respectively generate a corresponding output image.

  • Patent number: 10455217
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus and a method of generating a depth map are provided. The electronic apparatus includes a projection device, a first camera, a second camera, and a processing device. The projection device projects patterned invisible light on a scene. The first camera captures visible light information to generate a first image. The second camera captures visible light information and invisible light information to generate a second image. The processing device receives the first image and the second image. A first depth information unit in the processing device compares visible light images of the first image and the second image to obtain first depth information, and a second depth information unit in the processing device identifies an invisible light image in the second image to obtain second depth information. The processing device generates a depth map of the scene from the first depth information and the second depth information selectively.

  • Patent number: 9100584
    Abstract: The present disclosure illustrates a camera array correction method. The method comprises steps of calculating the gain values between the images captured by cameras with the pre-measured characteristic of each of the cameras. By such correction method, the different cameras in the camera array can capture images of the same brightness values and color values simultaneously. In addition, the huge computation requirement due to the increasing of the cameras can be reduced effectively.
