  • Publication number: 20240118073
    Abstract: Manufacturing of a shoe is enhanced by creating 3-D models of shoe parts. For example, a laser beam may be projected onto a shoe-part surface, such that a projected laser line appears on the shoe part. An image of the projected laser line may be analyzed to determine coordinate information, which may be converted into geometric coordinate values usable to create a 3-D model of the shoe part. Once a 3-D model is known and is converted to a coordinate system recognized by shoe-manufacturing tools, certain manufacturing steps may be automated.

  • Patent number: 11953877
    Abstract: Manufacturing of a shoe or a portion of a shoe is enhanced by executing various shoe-manufacturing processes in an automated fashion. For example, information describing a shoe part may be determined, such as an identification, an orientation, a color, a surface topography, an alignment, a size, etc. Based on the information describing the shoe part, automated shoe-manufacturing apparatuses may be instructed to apply various shoe-manufacturing processes to the shoe part, such as a pickup and placement of the shoe part with a pickup tool.

  • Publication number: 20230085231
    Abstract: The present disclosure proposes an electromagnetic susceptibility (EMS) testing method based on computer-vision. The method includes a training stage and a testing stage. During the training stage, the electronic device receives a testing data and the monitor displays a first picture. A camera captures the first picture to generate a template video. The processor generates a plurality of template images at least according to the template video. During the testing stage, an antenna emits an interference signal to the electronic device. The electronic device receives the testing data and the monitor displays a second picture. The camera captures the second picture to generate a testing video. The processor generates a testing image according to the testing video and calculates a difference ratio between the testing image and each template image. The processor sends an alert signal when the difference ratio is greater than a threshold.
