Abstract:
A voltage regulator and a control method thereof are provided to dynamically adjust an output voltage. The voltage regulator comprises a plurality of switching transistors and a control circuit. The first end of each switching transistor receives a driving voltage, and the second end of each switching transistor is electrically connected to the end which outputs the output voltage. The input end and the feedback end of the control circuit respectively receive a reference voltage and the output voltage. A plurality of output ends of the control circuit are electrically connected to the control ends of the switching transistors respectively. Switching transistors adjust the output voltage. The control circuit compares the output voltage with the reference voltage, and selectively turns the switching transistors on or off according to the comparison between the output voltage and the reference voltage, to control the output voltage to approach the reference voltage.

An image conversion method is provided. An image of a calibration reference pattern is captured. A plurality of first and a plurality of second characteristic patterns of the calibration reference pattern are identified. Coordinates of the first and second characteristic patterns in a first view angle coordinate system are obtained, and coordinates of the first and second characteristic patterns in a second view angle coordinate system are obtained, to obtain a coordinate conversion relationship between the first and second view angle coordinate systems. An input image is converted to an output image according to the coordinate conversion relationship.

Abstract:
A superimposition device of virtual guiding indication and reality image includes at least an image capturing device, a processor, a graphic processing unit (GPU), and a display device. The image capturing device captures reality image including instant scene. The processor receives the reality image and obtains height variation information. The GPU performs image correction processing on the reality image to obtain corrected image, generates updated transformation matrix according to the height variation information, and performs inverse perspective projection transformation by using the updated transformation matrix to generate bird's-eye view image of the corrected image and superimposes virtual guiding indication on the bird's-eye view image and performs perspective projection transformation on the bird's-eye view image to transform the bird's-eye view image into three-dimensional (3D) navigation image which includes the guiding indication. The display device displays the 3D navigation image which superimposes the virtual guiding indication into the reality image.
Abstract:
Surveillance systems with a plurality of cameras and image processing method thereof are provided. Based on a plurality of images captured by the plurality of cameras, some of the images are translucentized with other images and the other images are stitched with each other according to the space geometrical relations of cameras. The benefit of the surveillance system is that monitoring the field surveilled by each camera is no longer necessary to watch each image separately.
Abstract:
A surrounding bird view image generation method for use in an automobile-side device of an articulated vehicle is provided. The articulated vehicle includes a first body part, a second body part and a connection part. The proceeding directions of the first and the second body parts form an angle. The image processing method includes the steps of: storing an angle-to-surrounding-image model table; detecting an angle and providing an angle measurement; accessing the angle-to-surrounding-image model table to obtain a selected angle and a selected surrounding image model corresponding to the angle measurement; capturing 6 adjacent images corresponding to the surrounding of the vehicle body by the image capturers disposed on the 6 surrounding sides of the articulated vehicle; obtaining a practical operating surrounding image by processing the first to the sixth images with the selected surrounding image model.
Abstract:
A dynamic fusion method of images includes: receiving broadcast information from surrounding vehicles of a host vehicle; determining whether at least one of the surrounding vehicles travels in the same lane as the host vehicle to become a neighboring vehicle of the host vehicle according to the broadcast information; determining whether the neighboring vehicle is too close to the host vehicle and blocks the view of the host vehicle; and performing a transparentization or translucentization process on the neighboring vehicle in an image captured by the host vehicle when the neighboring vehicle blocks the view of the host vehicle.
Abstract:
A method for in-image periodic noise pixel inpainting is provided. It is determined whether a current frame includes periodic noise pixels, and locations of periodic noise pixels are identified. Non-periodic-noise pixels in a reference frame are utilized to inpaint the periodic noise pixels in the current frame.
