  • Publication number: 20230267717
    Abstract: A method for searching a path by using a 3D reconstructed map includes: receiving 3D point-cloud map information and 3D material map information; clustering the 3D point-cloud map information with a clustering algorithm to obtain clustering information, and identifying material attributes of objects in the 3D point-cloud map information with a material neural network model to obtain material attribute information; fusing the those map information based on their coordinate information, thereby outputting fused map information; identifying obstacle areas and non-obstacle areas in the fused map information based on an obstacle neural network model, the clustering information, and the material attribute information; and generating 3D path information according to the non-obstacle areas. Since the 3D path information is generated based on those map information, the obstacle areas and flight spaces are effectively determined to generate an accurate flight path.

  • Publication number: 20230194338
    Abstract: A device and a method for detecting a light irradiating angle are disclosed. The device, used to detect the incident direction of a light ray, includes a solar sensor and a processor. The sensing unit of the solar sensor has sensing areas. The sensing areas correspondingly generate sensing signals based on the intensity of the light ray. A mask covers the sensing unit and has an X-shaped light transmitting portion. The light ray transmits the X-shaped light transmitting portion to form an X-axis light ray and a Y-axis light ray. The X-axis light ray intersects the Y-axis light ray. The X-axis light ray and the Y-axis light ray fall on the sensing area. The processor, coupled to the sensing unit, receives the sensing signals and determines information of the incident direction according to the sensing signals.

  • Publication number: 20220187626
    Abstract: The present invention provides an intelligent virtual display device including a contact lens. The contact lens has a central area thereon, a micro display disposed outside the central area, a wearable reflector disposed corresponding to the micro display and configured to receive and to reflect images of the micro display, and a controller. The controller is connected with the micro display and configured to send the control signals to the micro display so as to generate the images. The contact lens is designed for being worn on a user's eyeball. When the eyeball rotates, the micro display changes its projection direction simultaneously to match the user's visual angle.

  • Patent number: 11204265
    Abstract: A rotary coding disc and a method for designing the same is applied to an optical encoder. N-bit De Bruijn sequences include 1 and 0. The N-bit De Bruijn sequence has the maximum binary code and the minimum binary code. When a binary code having M bits is located between the maximum binary code and the minimum binary code, the corresponding N-bit De Bruijn sequences are selected as diagonal De Bruijn sequences, wherein 2 N - 2 ? N 2 - N 2 < M < 2 N - 2 ? N 2 + N 2 . The De Bruijn sequence may be converted into a De Bruijn energy level. The total number of 1 consecutively neighboring 0 and (N?1) consecutively neighboring N of the De Bruijn energy level is calculated. The transparent areas and the opaque areas are located based on the De Bruijn sequence or the De Bruijn energy level that corresponds to the total number less than or equal to N.

  • Patent number: 11009373
    Abstract: An optical encoding device includes a code disc, an optical signal generator, (K+1) optical sensors and an encoding circuit. The code disk has K gratings arranged in a row. The total width of the optical sensors is equal to the total width W of the gratings. The optical sensor receives the optical signal through the code disk. Each optical sensor converts the optical signal into a voltage signal and outputs the voltage signal. The encoding circuit receives and normalizes the voltage signals to generate (K+1) voltage values. During a period in which the code disk rotates by a distance of 2W/K, the encoding circuit compares the voltage values with a preset value to generate at least two binary codes. When K is odd, the preset value is 0.5, and when K is even, the preset value is 0.55. The present invention can increase an absolute row resolution of the code disc.
