  • Publication number: 20240331592
    Abstract: A display apparatus and an image processing method thereof are provided. The display apparatus includes a display panel and an image processing device. The image processing device receives a low-resolution image from a host. The image processing device tracks a user's gaze to define a region of interest (ROI). The image processing device performs a video super-resolution (VSR) reconstruction on an original ROI image corresponding to the ROI in the low-resolution image to generate a high-definition ROI image. The image processing device pastes the high-definition ROI image back to the ROI in the low-resolution image to generate a processed image. The image processing device controls the display panel to display the processed image.

  • Publication number: 20240193736
    Abstract: This application describes methods and systems for High Dynamic Range (HDR) image fusion on Low Dynamic Range (LDR) images that avoid ghosting effect. An example method may start with detecting a plurality of motion pixels on the plurality of LDR images. For each of the motion pixels, a plurality of pixel values may be obtained. Each pixel value represents a brightness of the pixel in the corresponding LDR image. The method may then construct a fusion tensor comprising a plurality of dimensions respectively corresponding to the plurality of exposure settings. Each motion pixel may be mapped to the fusion tensor based on the plurality of the pixel values of the motion pixel to obtain a fusion weight. The fusion weights of the motion pixels may provide guidance to the HDR fusion on the LDR images.

  • Patent number: 11944970
    Abstract: A microfluidic detection unit comprises at least one fluid injection section, a fluid storage section and a detection section. Each fluid injection section defines a fluid outlet; the fluid storage section is in gas communication with the atmosphere and defines a fluid inlet; the detection section defines a first end in communication with the fluid outlet and a second end in communication with the fluid inlet. A height difference is defined between the fluid outlet and the fluid inlet along the direction of gravity. When a first fluid is injected from the at least one fluid injection section, the first fluid is driven by gravity to pass through the detection section and accumulate to form a droplet at the fluid inlet, such that a state of fluid pressure equilibrium of the first fluid is established.
