  • Patent number: 10262242
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an image scanning system and an image scanning method. The image scanning method includes: receiving a first image of a first optical device and a second image of a second optical device; determining objects of the first image or the second image; selecting at least one of the objects of the first image or the second image as a region of interest to scan the region of interest continuously by the second optical device so as to obtain depth image information of the region of interest; and integrating the depth image information into the first or second image. Therefore, the present disclosure obtains higher image resolutions, faster scanning speeds and more accurate recognition results.

  • Publication number: 20170161303
    Abstract: The information querying method is provided. The query image is received via a login gateway among the serving gateways. At least one of query description of the query image is generated. At least one first candidate object is sifted from a plurality of candidate objects according to a location of the login gateway and locations of candidate objects, wherein a plurality of candidate descriptions of each of the candidate objects are recorded in a database. The at least one query description of the query image is compared with the candidate descriptions of the at least one first candidate object, so as to obtain the target object from the candidate objects according to similarity level between the at least one query description and the candidate descriptions of the at least one first candidate object.

  • Publication number: 20160216778
    Abstract: An interactive projector and an operation method thereof for determining a depth information of an object are provided. The interactive projector includes an optical engine, an image capture unit and a process unit is provided. The optical engine projects a visible image via a visible light source and an invisible pattern via an invisible light source to a projection area. The visible light source and the visible are integrated to the optical engine. The image capturing unit captures an image having depth information from the projection area, which the image is being projected on an object via the invisible light source. A processing unit is electrically coupled to the optical engine and the image capturing unit. The processing unit receives the image having depth information and determines an interactive event according to the image having depth information. According to the interactive event, a status of the optical engine is refreshed.

  • Patent number: 9400924
    Abstract: An object recognition method and an object recognition apparatus using the same are provided. In one or more embodiments, a real-time image including a first object is acquired, and a chamfer distance transform is performed on the first object of the real-time image to produce a chamfer image including a first modified object. Preset image templates each including a second object are acquired, and the chamfer distance transform is performed on the second object of each preset image template to produce a chamfer template including a second modified object. When the difference between the first modified object and the second modified object is less than a first preset error threshold, the object recognition apparatus may operate according to a control command corresponding to the preset image template.

  • Publication number: 20150002475
    Abstract: A mobile device is provided, which includes a camera unit, a sensor unit, a see-through display, and a processor. The camera unit takes an image of a finger and a surface. The sensor unit generates a sensor signal in response to a motion of the finger. The taking of the image and the generation of the sensor signal are synchronous. The see-through display displays a GUI on the surface. The processor is coupled to the camera unit, the sensor unit, and the see-through display. The processor uses both of the image and the sensor signal to detect a touch of the finger on the surface. The processor adjusts the GUI in response to the touch.
