  • Publication number: 20250259435
    Abstract: A wakeup method includes: obtaining an image; using the image as input data of a level-1 wakeup network to obtain a first detection result output by the level-1 wakeup network, where the level-1 wakeup network is used to perform target object detection on the input image; waking up a level-2 wakeup network when the first detection result indicates that a target object exists in the image, where the level-2 wakeup network is used to perform target object detection on the image, and detection precision of the level-2 wakeup network is higher than detection precision of the level-1 wakeup network; detecting the image by using the level-2 wakeup network to obtain a second detection result output by the level-2 wakeup network; and when the second detection result indicates that the target object exists in the image, waking up a processing unit to perform a preset operation.

  • Publication number: 20250156994
    Abstract: An image processing method includes obtaining image data, where the image data includes a plurality of consecutive first image frames; sampling points in different phases for different first image frames in the consecutive first image frames, so that at least two adjacent second image frames in a plurality of consecutive second image frames that are obtained through downsampling have different sampling points in same pixel modules. The plurality of consecutive second image frames include pixel information of different locations of a same object; and performing super-resolution processing so that the pixel information that is of different locations of the same object and that is in the plurality of consecutive second image frames is used to restore the object.

  • Patent number: 10074187
    Abstract: An image recognition system for detecting and tracking at least an image portion associated with a predefined object from a moving picture is configured to be able to perform: an object detection processing step of detecting the object; a tracking point specification processing step of specifying a predetermined point as a tracking point; a tracking target recognition processing step of recognizing an actual tracking target based on the tracking point; a tracking processing step of tracking the tracking target; and a determination processing step of determining the type of the tracking target's behavior. The tracking point specification processing step and the determination processing step are implemented by software, while the object detection processing step, the tracking target recognition processing step, and the tracking processing step are implemented by hardware.

  • Publication number: 20110026593
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus (10) capable of reducing the bandwidth and capacity required for a frame memory and preventing image quality degradation includes: a selecting unit (14) that selectively switches between first and second processing modes, a frame memory (12); a storing unit (11) that (i) down-samples an input image by deleting predetermined frequency information included in the input image and stores the input image as a down-sampled image in the frame memory (12) when the switching unit switches to the first processing mode, and (ii) stores the input image without down-sampling in the frame memory (12) when the switching unit switches to the second processing mode; and a reading unit (13) that (i) reads out the down-sampled image from the frame memory (12) and up-samples the down-sampled image when the switching unit switches to the first processing mode, and (ii) reads out the input image without down-sampling from the frame memory (12) when the switching unit switches to the second processing
