  • Patent number: 9894255
    Abstract: A method and a system for depth selective segmentation of an object are provided. The method comprises the following steps. An image is captured in an invisible domain of the optical spectrum by illuminating a scene of interest under an illumination corresponding to said invisible domain of the optical spectrum by an invisible light illumination unit. A binary mask is obtained from the image according to a threshold. Part of the image is eliminated by applying the binary mask to the image, and resulting in another image. The threshold is changed and another binary mask is obtained. The latest obtained binary mask is applied to the latest captured image. The step of changing of the threshold, the step of obtaining a mask and the step of applying the latest obtained binary mask on the latest captured image are performed at least once.

  • Patent number: 9582050
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a replaceable device, an apparatus casing, a supporting structure, an abutting structure, and a removable carrier. The supporting structure, the abutting structure, and the removable carrier function as an installation mechanism for installing the replaceable device into the apparatus casing. The supporting structure and the abutting structure are disposed in the apparatus casing. The abutting structure has two side walls oppositely disposed. The removable carrier includes a fixing frame and an actuation part pivotally connected to the fixing frame. The replaceable device is fixed on the fixing frame. When the removable carrier is disposed on the supporting structure, the actuation part can be rotated relative to the fixing frame and alternatively abut against one side wall so that the fixing frame moves on the supporting structure and a connector of the replaceable device is engaged with or disengaged from a connector of the electronic apparatus respectively.

  • Publication number: 20160178353
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method for obtaining depth information in a scene are provided. The apparatus may include an imaging device for capturing an image of the scene and at least one non-imaging depth sensor. An image of the scene is captured by the imaging device and then segmented to obtain a segmented image of an object in at least one region of interest. The non-imaging depth sensor measures a distance from the imaging device to the object in the at least one region of interest of the image captured by the imaging sensor. A depth may be assigned to the at least one segment of the object according to the measured distance.

  • Patent number: 9076249
    Abstract: A hole filling method for multi-view disparity maps is provided. At least one disparity map is respectively captured as a plurality of known views among a plurality of views for capturing an object. As for a plurality of virtual views among the views excluding the at least one known view, disparity maps of the virtual views are synthesized by sequentially using the disparity maps of the known views according to a distance of a virtual camera position or a transformed angle between each virtual view and each known view. Hole filling information of the disparity maps of other virtual views having the distances or the transformed angles smaller than that of the virtual view is used to fill holes in the synthesized disparity maps of the virtual views.

  • Patent number: 8986023
    Abstract: A slim type electronic connector for receiving a plug therein includes a half socket, a covering lid, a holding seat, and a recovering element. The covering lid has a main body, a sheltering portion extended from the main body, and a pair of rotating axles formed at one end of the main body. An inserting space is formed between the half socket and the holding seat. When the covering lid rotates to a covered position, the sheltering portion extends beyond a front edge of the holding seat. When the covering lid rotates to an opening position, the sheltering portion moves away the front edge of the holding seat to allow for inserting the plug. When the plug is inserted between the half socket and the holding seat, the recovering element pushes the sheltering portion to engage the plug for preventing from moving outside.
