Abstract:
The present invention relates to a 3-dimensional (3D) video communication method, a 3D video sending device, a 3D video communication system, an image reconstruction method, and an image reconstruction system. The 3D video communication method includes: obtaining video image data of a scene collected by image collecting apparatuses, where the video image data includes at least one depth image and at least two color images; and encoding the video image data and sending the encoded video image data. The system includes a sending device and a receiving device. The sending device obtains at least one depth image and at least two color images of the scene through the image collecting apparatuses, the obtained depth images are accurate and reliable, and the collection of the video images is highly real-time. At the time of reconstructing the images at the viewpoints, the receiving device can repair the reconstructed images by using the obtained color images, thus improving the effect of reconstructed images and making the reconstructed images highly practical and real-time.

Abstract:
A method and a media player for playing images synchronously with an audio file are provided. The method includes the following steps. Audio file associated parameters are read according to a preset time interval when an audio file is played. Stereoscopic image associated parameters corresponding to the read audio file associated parameters are generated according to a preset first corresponding relation between the audio file associated parameters and the stereoscopic image associated parameters. Stereoscopic images corresponding to the audio file are generated according to the stereoscopic image associated parameters, and the stereoscopic images are played. Through the method and media player, stereoscopic images can be played synchronously when an audio file is played.
Abstract:
Determining a summary feature set is disclosed. A plurality of subsegments of a first segment are selected. For each subsegment, a plurality of values by applying a set of functions to each subsegment are computed. From all the values computed for all the subsegments, a first subset of values is selected.
Abstract:
A surface treatment for a protective plastic film and/or laminate is disclosed. Suitably, the surface treatment includes coating a major surface of the plastic film or laminate with a curable coating formulation wherein the one or more of the coating ingredients are diffused or migrated at least partially into the plastic film or plastic laminate. The migration of coating ingredients creates a gradual transition layer from the plastic film to the coating layer and leads to unique properties. Optionally, the surface treated plastic film is laminated to a release liner coated with a pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) to form the aforementioned laminate.
Abstract:
A general purpose of the present invention is to improve a DC-free property with a further reduced circuit scale while satisfying a run-length limit. An RLL/DC-free coding unit coding includes a first RLL coding unit, a first signal processing unit, a second RLL coding unit, and a DC component removal coding unit. The first RLL coding unit generates a first coded sequence by subjecting a digital signal sequence outputted from a scrambler to run-length limited coding. The first signal processing unit performs a predetermined signal processing on the digital signal sequence without changing the number of a plurality of bits contained in the digital signal sequence outputted from the scrambler 302. The second RLL coding unit generates a second coded sequence by subjecting the digital signal sequence, which is outputted from the first signal processing unit and on which the predetermined signal processing has been performed by the signal processing unit, to run-length limited coding.
Abstract:
A vehicle for use in arctic environments, the vehicle comprising a hull for accommodating people, and a pair of rotatable propulsion screws connected to the hull for propelling the vehicle on water, ice, snow and land. Each propulsion screw comprises a shaft having at least one blade helically disposed therearound.
Abstract:
Storage using resemblance of data segments is disclosed. It is determined that a new segment resembles a prior stored segment. The prior stored segment comprises a segment stored previously from any location in an input data stream. A delta between the new segment and the prior stored segment is determined. A representation of the new segment based at least in part on the delta is stored.
Abstract:
An encoder includes an outer repetition encoder, an interleaver for permuting encoding from said outer repetition encoder; and an inner encoder for encoding information from the interleaver to provide a repeat zigzag-Hadamard code. In an exemplary embodiment, a common bit of a zigzag-Hadamard segment of encoding from said inner encoder is a repetition of a last parity bit of a previous zigzag-Hadamard segment of encoding from said inner encoder and said common bit is punctured.
Abstract:
A magnetic screening system uses directional gradiometers with high resolution and accuracy to measure magnetic field signatures of target objects (e.g., gun, knife, cell phone, keys) in a volume of interest. The measured signatures can be compared to signatures of known objects stored in a local database. Various mathematical processes may be used to identify or classify target object signatures. In a network of magnetic screening systems, the magnetic screening systems can transmit signatures to a central signature database, and a management computer can share the central signature database with all of the magnetic screening systems on the network. The magnetic screening system can operate in multiple modes, such as a tracking mode, measurement mode, and self-test mode. Through use of unique processes and designs, the magnetic screening system can achieve a high rate of processing persons for target objects.
