  • Publication number: 20190392312
    Abstract: A method for quantizing an image includes obtaining M batches of images; creating histograms by training based on each of the M batches of images; merging the histograms for each of the batches of images into a merged histogram; obtaining a minimum value from all minimum values of the M merged histograms and a maximum value from all maximum values of the M merged histograms; defining ranges of new bins of a new histogram according to the obtained minimum value, the obtained maximum value, and the number of the new bins; and estimating a distribution of each of the new bins by adding up frequencies falling into the ranges of the new bins to create the new histogram. The amount of the images in each of the M batches of images is N, and each of N and M is an integer and equal to or larger than two.

  • Patent number: 10101560
    Abstract: A method for focusing on an object to capture an image of that object is provided. The method includes obtaining the travel time between the point in time that an ultrasonic signal is sent and the point in time at which the reflected signal is received. The method also includes obtaining environment information of the electronic device based on location/position information. The method further includes determining local sound speed according to environment information and determining the distance to an object using the local sound speed and the travel time. In addition, the method can include focusing on the object according to the object distance.
