Patents by Inventor Min-Jung Huang

Min-Jung Huang 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: 10282592
    Abstract: A face detecting method and a face detecting system are provided. The face detecting method includes the following steps: At least one original image block is received. The original image block is transformed by a transforming unit to obtain a plurality of different transformed image blocks. Whether each of the transformed image blocks contains a face is detected by a detecting unit according to only one identical face database and a detecting result value is outputted accordingly. The transformed image blocks are detected by a plurality of parallel processing cores. Whether a maximum of the detecting result values is larger than a threshold value is determined by a determiner. If the maximum of the detecting result values is larger than the threshold value, then the determiner deems that the original image block contains a face.

  • Publication number: 20130163862
    Abstract: An image processing method and a device for redeye correction are provided. In the method, a face region of a pending image is received and detected. At least one region of interest (ROI) is set in the face region. The ROI is segmented according to a color model so as to produce a plurality of candidate regions. Each of the candidate regions is filtered separately according to a candidate region filtering method. It is determined whether a color candidate region is produced after filtering. If yes, luminance values of a plurality of pixels in the ROI are calculated by a contrast mask. The ROI is segmented by using a calculated luminance distribution so as to produce a high contrast candidate region. An overlapped portion between the color and the high contrast candidate regions is taken as a redeye region, and the redeye region is corrected to produce a corrected image.
