20110131236 | SPEECH RETRIEVAL APPARATUS AND SPEECH RETRIEVAL METHOD - Disclosed are a speech retrieval apparatus and a speech retrieval method for searching, in an audio file database, for one or more target audio files by using one or more input search terms. The speech retrieval apparatus comprises a related document obtaining unit configured to search, in a related document database where documents related to audio files in the audio file database are stored, for one or more related documents by using the search terms; a correspondence audio file obtaining unit configured to search, in the audio file database, for one or more correspondence audio files corresponding to the obtained related documents; and a speech-to-speech search unit configured to search, in the audio file database, for the target audio files by using the obtained correspondence audio files. | 06-02-2011 |
20130128001 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETECTING OBJECT ON A ROAD - Disclosed are a method and a system for detecting an object on a road. The method comprises a step of simultaneously capturing two depth maps, and then calculating a disparity map; a step of obtaining, based on the disparity map, a V-disparity image by adopting a V-disparity algorithm; a step of detecting an oblique line in the V-disparity image, and then removing points in the disparity map, corresponding to the oblique line so as to acquire a sub-disparity map excluding the road; a step of detecting plural vertical lines in the V-disparity image, and then extracting, for each of the plural vertical lines, points corresponding to this vertical line from the sub-disparity map as an object sub-disparity map corresponding to this vertical line; and a step of merging any two rectangular areas of the object sub-disparity maps approaching each other, into a rectangular object area. | 05-23-2013 |
20130148856 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETECTING ROAD PARTITION - A method and an apparatus are used for detecting a road partition, the method comprising: a step of obtaining a disparity top view having a road area; and a step of detecting parallel lines as the road partitions from the disparity top view. | 06-13-2013 |
20130163821 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DETECTING ROAD REGION AS WELL AS METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DETECTING ROAD LINE - Disclosed are a road line detection method and a road line detection device. The road line detection method comprises a step of obtaining a first disparity map including one or more road regions and a corresponding V-disparity image; a step of sequentially detecting plural sloped line segments in the corresponding V-disparity image according to a big-to-small order of disparities and a big-to-small order of V-values, to serve as plural sequentially adjacent road surfaces; a step of obtaining a second disparity map of plural road line regions of interest corresponding to the plural sloped line segments; and a step of detecting one or more road lines in the second disparity map of the plural road line regions of interest. | 06-27-2013 |
20140252963 | LIGHTING DEVICE, LOCAL DEVICE, LIGHTING CONTROL SYSTEM, AND LIGHTING CONTROL METHOD - A lighting control method for use in a lighting control system is disclosed. The lighting control method includes acquiring an influence coefficient of each of lighting devices on at least one local device based on a measured amount of invisible beams and a measured amount of visible light, the influence coefficient representing an influence level of each of the lighting devices on the local device; and acquiring a dimmer level of each of visible light sources based on a corresponding one of the influence coefficients to control the amount of the visible light measured at a position of the local device such that the measured amount of the visible light reaches or approaches a target lighting amount of the local device. | 09-11-2014 |
