Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information processing systems struggle to easily confirm the acquisition of desired three-dimensional information without unwanted objects, such as the user or tripods, in the captured image.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus and method that includes an image capture unit for capturing two-dimensional image information and an output unit for displaying the two-dimensional image information along with associated three-dimensional information, allowing users to confirm the presence of unwanted objects in real-time.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If three-dimensional information is acquired using existing systems, then measurement data can be obtained, but it is difficult to confirm whether unwanted objects are included in the captured image
Solution Approach 1:
The patent displays three-dimensional information in a two-dimensional space by projecting depth information as visual overlays on the captured image. This dimensionality transformation allows users to see depth data and detect unwanted objects directly in the 2D display without requiring specialized 3D visualization equipment, thereby resolving the contradiction between measurement precision and detection difficulty.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary visual representation layer that maps three-dimensional depth data onto the two-dimensional image plane. This intermediary visualization acts as a mediator between the raw 3D measurement data and the user's visual perception, enabling easy detection of unwanted objects while preserving the accuracy of the three-dimensional information acquisition.
2Reliability
If data re-acquisition is performed to exclude unwanted objects, then clean three-dimensional information can be obtained, but time and labor costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides real-time visual feedback by overlaying depth information and detecting unwanted objects during the capture process itself. Users can immediately see whether unwanted objects are present in the captured image with depth visualization, allowing them to adjust the scene or retake the capture in real-time without waiting for post-processing analysis, thus eliminating time loss while maintaining information reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary detection and visualization of unwanted objects during the capture phase rather than after completion. By providing immediate visual feedback about the quality of captured three-dimensional information, the system enables users to make corrections before finalizing the data acquisition, preventing the need for time-consuming re-acquisition cycles.
