Abstract:
Provided are an apparatus and method for controlling a virtual mouse based on a hand motion. The apparatus includes an image processing unit configured to measure a maximum horizontal width of a hand region of a user and a width of an index finger in any one of a first depth image captured in a state in which the index finger is spread out in a vertical direction with his or her fist and a second depth image captured in a state in which the index finger is folded with the fist, a hand motion recognizing unit configured to compare the maximum horizontal width and the width of the index finger to recognize whether the index finger is folded, and a function matching unit configured to match a change in a folded state of the index finger to a pre-set first function and output a control signal for the function.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an image display apparatus and method for displaying a three-dimensional (3D) image capable of interacting with a user, and provides a 3D image display apparatus and method that may interact with a user by reproducing a 3D image, generated by a conventional volume display apparatus, at a position different from a position at which the 3D image is generated, and by modifying and playing the reproduced 3D image based on a motion of the user. Also, the present invention enables the user to realistically interact with the 3D image by stimulating tactile sensation of the user through ultrasound.
Abstract:
Provided is a user interface (UI) apparatus based on a hand gesture. The UI apparatus includes an image processing unit configured to detect a position of an index finger and a center position of a hand from a depth image obtained by photographing a user's hand, and detect a position of a thumb on a basis of the detected position of the index finger and the detected center position of the hand, a hand gesture recognizing unit configured to recognize a position change of the index finger and a position change of the thumb, and a function matching unit configured to match the position change of the index finger to a predetermined first function, match the position change of the thumb to a predetermined second function, and output a control signal for executing each of the matched functions.
Abstract:
Provided are a character input apparatus and method based on handwriting. The character input apparatus based on handwriting includes an image obtaining unit configured to obtain an image of a motion of a hand moving in a space, a pattern storage unit configured to store various types of character input pattern information required for inputting characters, a pattern recognizing unit configured to recognize a character input pattern from the image of a motion of a hand obtained by the image obtaining unit, compare the recognized character input pattern with the character input pattern information stored in the pattern storage unit, and output a character matched to the same pattern, and an input character display unit configured to display the character output from the pattern recognizing unit.
Abstract:
Provided is an apparatus for recognizing user postures. The apparatus recognizes detailed postures such as a stand posture, a bending forward posture, a bending knees posture, a tilt right posture, and a tilt left posture, based on a variation between body information at a previous time and body information at a current time.
Abstract:
Provided are an apparatus and method for inputting a character The apparatus includes a recognition unit configured to measure lengths from arbitrary points on a user's hands to respective fingertips and recognize a click gesture using the measured lengths, a control unit configured to control character input according to the recognized click gesture, and a display unit configured to display a character pad for the character input and display a character input according to the click gesture recognized on the character pad.
Abstract:
Provided are an apparatus and method for inputting a character based on a hand gesture. The apparatus includes a gesture recognition unit configured to recognize hand gestures of a user corresponding to horizontal directions, vertical directions, and diagonal directions, a control unit configured to control character input according to the directions of the recognized hand gestures, and a display unit configured to display a character pad for the character input and display characters input according to the directions of the hand gestures recognized on the character pad.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a head-up display apparatus based on AR that three-dimensionally displays augmented image information on an object external to a vehicle on the basis of actual distance information between the vehicle and the external object, and thus can provide realistic information to a driver. The head-up display apparatus includes a distance information generating unit configured to receive an image signal from an image signal inputting apparatus capturing an image in front of a vehicle and generate distance information on each of a plurality of objects in the front image, an information image generating unit configured to generate an information image of each object in the front image, and an augmentation processing unit configured to generate augmented information image of each object on the basis of the distance information on each object.
Abstract:
Provided are a 3D display device and a method of manufacturing the same. The 3D display device includes a curve-shaped display panel displaying an image, and a curve-shaped lenticular lens disposed in front of or behind the display panel. A left-eye image displayed by the display panel is presented to a user's left eye through the lenticular lens, and a right-eye image displayed by the display panel is presented to a user's left eye through the lenticular lens.
