In one aspect, the method comprises decoding encoded video data to obtain decoded video frame data, the encoded video data comprising encoded video frame data encoded at a first frame rate and embedded data. The method further comprises determining a camera parameter from the embedded data and up-converting the decoded video frame data to a second frame rate based on the camera parameter. The determined camera parameter may be, for example, a parameter associated with one or more of a zoom factor, an auto focus status, lens position information, frame luma information, an auto exposure (AE) convergence status, an automatic white balance (AWB) convergence status, global motion information, and frame blurriness information, and the like.

Abstract: Described are a system, apparatus, and method to capture a stereoscopic image pair using an imaging device with a single imaging sensor. Particularly, discussed are systems and methods for capturing a first and second image through an image sensor, determining a vertical and horizontal disparity between the two images, and applying corrections for geometric distortion, vertical disparity, and convergence between the two images. Some embodiments contemplate displaying a directional indicator before the second image of the stereoscopic image pair is captured. By displaying a directional indicator, a more optimal position for the second image of the stereoscopic image pair may be found, resulting in a higher quality stereoscopic image pair.

The mass ratio of binder to particles may vary from 0.1 to 20. Porous coatings formed according to the embodiments described herein demonstrate good optical properties (e.g. a low refractive index) while maintaining good mechanical durability due to the presence of a high amount of binder and a close pore structure.

Abstract: In a method for protecting software of a computing device, a hypertext preprocessor (PHP) software program of the computing device is encrypted using an encryption rule to obtain an encrypted file. When the encrypted file needs to be decrypted, the method determines whether a predetermined hardware lock is connected to the computing device. When the predetermined hardware lock is not connected to the computing device, the method displays a prompt that indicates the predetermined hardware lock is not connected to the computing device. When the predetermined hardware lock is connected to the computing device, the method decrypts the encrypted file with a decryption rule corresponding to the encryption rule.
