Modifications Of Scanning Arrangements To Improve Focusing (epo) Patents (Class 348/E3.048)
  • Patent number: 11758099
    Abstract: The disclosure provides an image blending method. The method includes projecting a plurality of images onto a projection surface, respectively, wherein an image of the first portion of the first image and an image of the first portion of the second image projected onto the projection surface overlap each other in the first overlapping area on the projection surface; the image parameters of all pixels of the first non-overlapping area and the second non-overlapping area are adjusted according to the position of the first non-overlapping area and the position of the second non-overlapping area, such that the black-level brightness of the first non-overlapping image in the first non-overlapping area of the first image and the black-level brightness of the second non-overlapping image in the second non-overlapping area of the second image are close to the black-level brightness of the first overlapping image in the first overlapping area.

  • Patent number: 11527048
    Abstract: A method for simulating setting of a projector by augmented reality (AR) includes: activating an AR application on a terminal device; performing, through an image capturing element of the terminal device, dimension measurement on a space where a projector is to be disposed to obtain a space dimension; selecting a placement reference point of the projector and a display reference point of a projection picture; generating, according to the space dimension, the placement reference point, and the display reference point, a simulation picture on the terminal device when the projector projects the projection picture in the space; adjusting the projection picture and/or the projector in the simulation picture to generate an adjusted simulation picture; and comparing the adjusted simulation picture with projector parameter data of projector models to recommend at least one projector model to a user for selection or inputting, by the user, a custom projector model.

  • Patent number: 8902366
    Abstract: In order to trigger an out of focus alert when the focus level of a video frame meets a focus criteria, a method is performed including the operations of: receiving a video frame, partitioning the video frame into a plurality of blocks, calculating an array of discrete cosign transformation (DCT) coefficients for at least one of the plurality of blocks using a DCT, classifying each of the at least one of the plurality of blocks based on the array of DCT coefficients for that block, calculating a focus level of the video frame from the block classifications, and triggering an out of focus alert if the focus level meets a focus criteria.
