  • Patent number: 10529081
    Abstract: A depth image processing method and a depth image processing system are provided. The depth image processing method includes: capturing a first image and a second image; performing a feature comparison to acquire a plurality of feature pairs between the first image and the second image, wherein each of the feature pairs includes a feature in the first image and a corresponding feature in the second image; computing disparities of the feature pairs; computing a depth image through the first image and the second image when the disparities of the feature pairs are all smaller than a disparity threshold.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 12, 2018
    Date of Patent: January 7, 2020
    Assignee: Wistron Corporation
    Inventors: Sheng-Shien Hsieh, Kai-Chung Cheng, Yu-Wen Huang, Tzu-Yao Lin, Pin-Hong Liou

  • Patent number: 9948854
    Abstract: An imaging device adapted to be detachably disposed on an electronic device is provided. The imaging device includes a shell, an imaging module, a communication module and a touch element. The shell has a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other. The imaging module having a lens is disposed inside of the shell, and the lens is exposed on the first surface of the shell. The communication module is disposed in the shell and an end of the communication module is signally connected to the imaging module. The touch element is connected to the shell and movably contacts a sensing unit of the electronic device. Moreover, an imaging system and a control method thereof are also provided.
