  • Publication number: 20240185456
    Abstract: A method includes: selecting, from among a series of images, a candidate image that was captured at an image-capturing time instant corresponding to a point-cloud-generating time instant at which a point cloud was generated; generating a two-dimensional data set from the point cloud; superimposing the two-dimensional data set on the candidate image to result in a superimposed image; obtaining a derived distance inconsistency between the candidate image and the two-dimensional data set in the superimposed image; feeding the derived distance inconsistency into a conversion model to obtain a derived time difference; calculating a target time instant based on the derived time difference and the image-capturing time instant of the candidate image; and selecting, from among the series of images that have been received from the image capturing device, a target image that was captured at a time instant the closest to the target time instant.

  • Publication number: 20150300596
    Abstract: A light emitting device includes a lamp holder, a light emitting unit which is removably disposed on the lamp holder and includes a plurality of light emitting elements arranged in a closed configuration, and an optical element with a lens portion and a connecting portion and removably disposed on the lamp holder. The lens portion is formed in a closed configuration which is the same as the closed configuration formed by the light emitting elements, and the lens portion is aligned with the light emitting elements. The optical element can be removed via the connecting portion, then the light emitting unit is removed from another end of the elastic clamping unit, so that the light emitting unit can be easily replaced or removed. Besides, the light emitting unit can always fit in the same optical element no matter how the number of the light emitting element changes.

  • Patent number: 9028111
    Abstract: A lens module for LED light sources including: a lens body; and an LED light source received in a recess of the lens body. By the conditions of Z1>Z2 and Z3>Y1, and with the shape of light incident surface and the position of LED light source, a light deflection effect is achieved. This allows light emitted from the LED light source to be refracted by the light incident surface and then emitted by the light exiting surface, generating an excellent light deflection effect, thereby increasing illumination in width at the road or public squares and increasing utilization rate of the LED light source.
