Apparatus For Recognizing Dice Dots

Abstract

An apparatus for recognizing dice dots includes a dice cup to hold at least one dice, and a light source module and a capturing module located in the dice cup. The light source module generates a plurality of light sources to project to the dice. The capturing module captures images of the dice a number of times according to the light sources projection times to generate a plurality of image information. The image information are sent to a recognizing module which stores a plurality of calculation methods to recognize dice dots according to the image information. When recognized results obtained through the calculation methods are judged same by the recognizing module the dice dots are confirmed and accepted. If the recognized results done through the calculation methods are different, the dice is rolled anew.

1 . An apparatus for recognizing dice dots, comprising:
 a dice cup for holding at least one dice;   a light source module located in the dice cup to generate a plurality of light sources projecting to the dice;   a capturing module located in the dice cup to capture dice images for a plurality of times according to the times of light sources projection to generate a plurality of image information; and   a recognizing module to receive the image information and store a plurality of calculation methods to recognize dice dots according to the image information.   
   
   
       2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the dice cup includes a base to hold the dice and a hood to fasten to the base. 
   
   
       3 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the hood is made from an opaque material. 
   
   
       4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the capturing module is a dynamic image capturing device. 
   
   
       5 . The apparatus of  claim 4 , wherein the dynamic image capturing device is a video camera. 
   
   
       6 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the capturing module is a static image capturing device. 
   
   
       7 . The apparatus of  claim 6 , wherein the static image capturing device is a camera.
