20100061653 | IMAGE BRIGHTNESS ADJUSTING METHOD - An image brightness adjusting method is provided. The brightness values of all pixels of the image are firstly increased in various increasing degrees. Next, the increased brightness values are decreased in various decreasing degrees according to the original brightness values, thereby avoiding over-increasing the brightness values of the image. Moreover, the use of the color saturation values to adjust the brightness values can avoid the unnatural image appearance. | 03-11-2010 |
20100245597 | AUTOMATIC IMAGE CAPTURING SYSTEM - An automatic image capturing system includes a computer, an image capturing device, a monitor and an automatic image capturing program. The automatic image capturing program is installed in the computer. The image capturing device is used for capturing an image of a target object. The monitor is used for displaying shooting area. If a pre-shot image of the target object is moved to be within the shooting area, the automatic image capturing program will automatically capture the image of the target object. | 09-30-2010 |
20110069181 | NOTEBOOK COMPUTER WITH MULTI-IMAGE CAPTURING FUNCTION - A notebook computer with a multi-image capturing function is provided. The notebook computer includes an image pickup device and a mirror. The image pickup device is used for capturing a first image. The mirror is disposed beside the image pickup device and tilted by an angle with respect to the image pickup device. A second image reflected by the mirror is adjustable by changing the angle. The second image reflected by the mirror is also captured by the image pickup device, so that the first image and the second image are simultaneously captured by the image pickup device. | 03-24-2011 |
20110149088 | IMAGE PICKUP SYSTEM - An image pickup system includes a base, a frame, an image pickup device, a receiving structure, a marking element and a switching element. The frame is connected to the base. The image pickup device is disposed on the frame. The receiving structure is disposed in the base. The frame is rotatable with respect to the base, so that the image pickup device is moved to an optimal shooting position. The marking element indicates that the image pickup device is at the optimal shooting position. When the switching element is triggered, the target object placed in the receiving structure will be shot by the image pickup device. | 06-23-2011 |
20110158546 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING CONTROL INSTRUCTION BY USING IMAGE PICKUP DEVICE TO RECOGNIZE USERS POSTURE - A system and a method are provided for generating a control instruction by using an image pickup device to recognize a user's posture. An electronic device is controlled according to different composite postures. Each composite posture is a combination of the hand posture, the head posture and the facial expression change of the user. Each composite posture indicates a corresponding control instruction. Since the composite posture is more complex than peoples' habitual actions, the possibility of causing erroneous control instruction from unintentional habitual actions of the user will be minimized or eliminated. | 06-30-2011 |
20110305406 | BUSINESS CARD RECOGNITION SYSTEM - A business card recognition system includes a mobile communication apparatus and a computer host. The mobile communication apparatus has an image pickup device. The computer host is in communication with the mobile communication apparatus. When the image pickup device of the mobile communication apparatus is used to shoot a business card, a business card image is acquired. After the business card image is transmitted to the computer host, the computer host performs an optical character recognition operation on the business card image, thereby obtaining business card information. By searching address information of the business card information, the computer host acquires an address proximity map image. The business card information and the address proximity map image are transmitted from the computer to the mobile communication apparatus. As such, the user of the mobile communication apparatus can realize the business card information and the address proximity map image. | 12-15-2011 |
20120007993 | IMAGE PICKUP SYSTEM - An image pickup system includes a display screen, an image pickup device and a positioning program. The image pickup device is used for shooting a document. The display screen is used for showing a positioning mark. When the document is moved and a pre-shot document image is aligned with the positioning mark, the image pickup device is activated by the positioning program to shoot the document, thereby obtaining a document image. | 01-12-2012 |
20140086450 | FACIAL TRACKING METHOD - A facial tracking method for detecting and tracking at least one face image in a region during a time period. The facial tracking method includes a step of performing an image acquiring operation, a step of performing a facial detecting operation to detect whether there is any face image in the entire of a current photo image, and at least one step of performing a facial tracking operation. For performing the facial tracking operation, plural tracking frames are located around a face image of the current photo image, and a similarity between the face image of the current photo image and the image included in each tracking frame in order to judge whether the face image exists in the next photo image. By the facial tracking method of the present invention, the time period of tracking face images is largely reduced. | 03-27-2014 |
