Abstract: An indoor power line transmission control system, includes: a transforming dimming controller (1), which is used to load, onto an electrical signal, a received dimming signal sent by a mobile terminal or input by a user in a touch-control manner, and send the electrical signal loaded with the dimming signal to a dimming driver (2); and the dimming driver, which is electrically connected with the transforming dimming controller and a dimming luminaire (3), and used to read the electrical signal loaded with the dimming signal, and adjust a gray scale of the dimming luminaire according to the read electrical signal. By replacing a normal switch with the transforming dimming controller and by using the dimming driver and transmitting the dimming signal to the dimming luminaire by means of a power line, flexibility of having no wiring, simple extension and smart dimming are realized and energy can be saved.

Abstract: A method is provided for recognizing touches by at least a finger on a touch panel and determining positions of the touches by analyzing a change in capacitance of electrodes of the touch panel. The change in capacitance is represented as at least an array. A digital signal processing unit and a touch panel that implement the method are also provided.

Abstract: A controller for detection of touches by a single finger or multiple fingers on a touch panel, the touch panel including a first group of electrodes arranged in a first direction and a second group of electrodes arranged in a second direction, thereby forming a plurality of crossover points.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses of contrast enhancement on an image are disclosed. The method performs local shading of fine contrast variations in an image, with particular advantage in tone mapping applications. The amounts of shading are determined by the preferred degree of increased image contrast 810, including compensation for subsequent tone mapping, and the difference between a profile signal 803 and the image signal 801 conditional on the signal profile level being higher than the original image signal level, wherein avoiding boosting of brightness level to obtain contrast enhancement. The profile signal 803 is calculated by the weighted sum of the image signal and the absolute signal variation which is the absolute value of the variation between the brightness of two neighbor pixels. This amount of shading is reduced to zero when the profile signal 803 is lower than the original image signal 801 for avoiding the overshooting problem at sharp edges in an image.

Abstract: A method of adjusting image intensity to compensate backlight dimming in dynamic backlight control, the method including estimating distortion of an image that corresponds to different mapping index values 204 selected from the intensity levels 202 of an image. The estimated distortion of image represents factors including the quantity of pixels 205 that have intensity exceeding a mapping index value 204; and the amount 206 that the intensity of each pixel exceeds the corresponding mapping index value. The method further includes selecting from a plurality of schemes 301 for adjusting image intensity to minimize the estimated distortion obtained from the estimating.
