  • Patent number: 9036920
    Abstract: A method of detecting feature points of an object in a system for motion detection includes obtaining a first image of the object from a first camera and a second image of the object from a second camera, extracting a foreground image from each of the first image and the second image, based on an assumption that the foreground image is a T-pose image, segmenting the foreground image into a first set of sections, identifying a first set of feature points associated with the first set of sections, obtaining a T-pose image with a set of predetermined feature points, and determining whether the foreground image is a T-pose image by comparing the first set of feature points with the set of predetermined feature points.

  • Publication number: 20150078605
    Abstract: The present invention provides an improved speaker structure, which includes a speaker body, a resonance body and at least one sound guiding portion. The resonance body includes a resonance film and a resonance film frame. The sound guiding portion includes a first sound guiding member, a second sound guiding member and a back frame unit. The speaker structure forms a sealed sound chamber by combining the speaker body, the resonance body and the at least one sound guiding portion. When the speaker body generates a front sound wave and a guiding sound wave, the front sound wave is transmitted within the sound chamber to the resonance film to enhance low frequency sound effect, and the guiding sound wave is transmitted within the resonance cavity and forms a back sound wave, thus reducing noise in the sound region and enabling better extension of the sound wave towards low frequency range.
