Patent number: 9036874Abstract: An image processing and recording system and an image processing and recording method thereof are provided. An image processing and recording system includes a recording module, an access module, and an identification module. The recording module stores an image which includes N image blocks, and the N image blocks compose M image tiles. The identification module performs an image recognition procedure to identify a predetermined feature of the N image blocks picked up by the access module and generates N identification results. Each result includes an address of the tile in the image corresponding to the Kth image block, a corresponding address of the Kth image block in the image tile and whether the Kth image block has the predetermined feature. Thus, the access module can pick up the image blocks having the predetermine feature to perform a next image recognition procedure.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2013Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignee: ALTEK CORPORATIONInventors: Kuei-Hung Cheng, Yen-Ping Teng, Che-Wei Hu

Patent number: 8428355Abstract: An processing method is used for processing an image file of an image, in which the image is divided into a plurality of image blocks, and at least one row of the minimum coded units sequentially define the image as a plurality of bands. The processing method includes the following steps. An image file of an image is supplied, in which the image file includes a bit stream and exchangeable image file (EXIF) data. A band indicator of the EXIF data is read according to an expanded range. A segment in the bit stream corresponding to a band encompassed by the expanded range is decoded according to the read band indicator corresponding to the band of the expanded range, so as to obtain the band.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2011Date of Patent: April 23, 2013Assignee: Altek CorporationInventors: Chia-Ho Pan, Po-Jung Lin, Shuei-Lin Chen, Yen-Ping Teng, Kuo-Chun Hung

Patent number: 8411973Abstract: A processing method for image file includes the following steps. An image file of an image is obtained, in which the image file includes a bit stream and an Exchangeable Image File (EXIF) data. A band indicator and a minimum coded unit (MCU) indicator are read according to an expanded range. A referential DC coefficient is obtained according to a hybrid direct current (DC) coefficient corresponding to a first MCU covered by the expanded range. A sub-clip of the MCU covered by the corresponding expanded range in the bit stream is decoded according to the read band indicator, the MCU indicator and the referential DC coefficient, so as to obtain at least one MCU.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2011Date of Patent: April 2, 2013Assignee: Altek CorporationInventors: Chia-Ho Pan, Po-Jung Lin, Shuei-Lin Chen, Yen-Ping Teng, Kuo-Chun Hung
