An image capturing system includes a first camera having a first lens, a second camera having a second lens, a third camera having a third lens, a fourth camera having a fourth lens, a fifth camera having a fifth lens, a sixth camera having a sixth lens, and a processor coupled to the six cameras. The processor generates an optimized image according to images captured by at least two of the six cameras. The first lens, the second lens, the third lens and the fourth lens are disposed adjacently. The first lens, the third lens, the fifth lens, and the sixth lens are disposed along a straight line. Fields of view of the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, and the fourth lens are the same.

Image capturing system capable of generating different types of optimized images

For transforming a 2D image into a 3D image, or for transforming a 2D animation into a 3D animation, depths of the 2D image or the 2D animation are required and corrected by enhancing edges. Moreover, a 3D model is generated according to a corrected 2D depth map, and the 3D model is then filmed by virtual cameras to generate the 3D image or the 3D animation. While generating the 3D animation, key frames are selected for reducing processing time, and depths of unselected frames between the key frames are calculated by using interpolation.

3D image generating method, 3D animation generating method, and both 3D image generating module and 3D animation generating module thereof

A method of estimating depths on a monocular image displayed on a display is utilized for improving correctness of depths shown on the display. Feature vectors are calculated for each patch on the monocular image for determining an intermediate depth map of the monocular image in advance. For improving the correctness of the intermediate depth map, an energy function in forms of vectors is minimized for calculating a best solution of the depth map of the monocular image. Therefore, the display may display the monocular image according to a calculated output depth map for having an observer of the display to correctly perceive depths on the monocular image.

Method of estimating depths from a single image displayed on display

A method for digitally magnifying images applied to an electronic device includes the steps of: reading in a preview image inputted into the electronic device; executing a 2-fold image magnifying process to the preview image; executing a fuzziness removing process to the preview image; segmenting the preview image into a background area and a text area, executing a correspondingly text strengthening process to the text area; and determining if the preview image is magnified up to a predetermined amplification factor; if yes, outputting the preview image after being magnified to a display screen for displaying the preview image; and otherwise, going back to re-execute the 2-fold image magnifying process to the magnified preview image, and then executing the fuzziness removing process and the text strengthening process, in order to generate the preview image magnified about 4-fold or more.
