20130194110 | AUTOMOTIVE AUGMENTED REALITY HEAD-UP DISPLAY APPARATUS AND METHOD - Disclosed herein is an automotive augmented reality HUD apparatus and method, which can adaptively change a location and a direction based on the visual field of a driver, thus reducing errors in location matching between virtual object information and real-world information. The automotive augmented reality HUD apparatus includes a viewing angle calculation unit for estimating a line-of-sight direction of a driver using a face direction, detected based on face images of the driver, and center positions of pupils and calculating a viewing angle. A matching unit matches a location of real-world information located in front of a driver's seat with a location of corresponding virtual object information located in front of the driver's seat, based on the line-of-sight direction and the viewing angle. A display unit displays results of the matching by the matching unit, wherein the display unit enables rotation thereof and location change thereof. | 08-01-2013 |
20130195185 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TO FUNCTIONAL UNIT IN RECONFIGURABLE CODEC - Disclosed herein is an apparatus and method for providing additional information to an FU in a reconfigurable codec. The apparatus includes a syntax parser, a prediction mode converter unit, and an inverse prediction unit. The syntax parser parses the encoding type value of a multimedia bit stream and a first prediction mode value from the multimedia bit stream. The prediction mode converter unit converts the first prediction mode value into a second prediction mode value corresponding to the encoding type value. The inverse prediction unit determines an inverse prediction operating mode based on the second prediction mode value. | 08-01-2013 |
20130195468 | TRANSMITTER, RECEIVER FOR VISIBLE LIGHT COMMUNICATION AND METHOD USING THE SAME - A visible light wireless communication receiver includes: a source code recognizing unit that receives a source bit stream and recognizes the source bit stream as source codes of a unit of a first number of bits; and a line coding unit that encodes each of the source codes into an encoding code of a unit of a second number of bits, the second number being larger than the first number. In particular, in the encoding code, the number of bits corresponding to 1 is the same as the number of bits corresponding to 0. Therefore, the change in brightness of lighting may be minimized in the visible light wireless communication. | 08-01-2013 |
