Appearance Presentation System for Camera Installation Assessment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing camera systems do not effectively allow users to assess the suitability of captured images for image recognition processes, particularly in terms of resolution and angle, before determining the camera's position and posture, leading to suboptimal image quality for detection and identification tasks.
Innovation Solution
An appearance presentation system that displays an image with an object indicator superimposed on a simulated camera view, allowing users to designate positions and evaluate the image's suitability through resolution and gazing point angle analysis, providing user determination information on non-hiding rate, first and second suitability calculations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If the camera position and posture are determined without preliminary image suitability assessment, then the camera installation process is simplified, but the image quality for image recognition processes deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary assessment of image suitability for image recognition processes before the camera is actually installed. It calculates metrics such as resolution adequacy, gazing point angle, and non-hiding rate based on the monitoring purpose, allowing users to evaluate whether the camera position and posture will produce suitable images without having to physically install and test the camera first.
2Productivity
If the camera position and posture are adjusted without visual feedback on object appearance, then the adjustment process is faster, but the suitability for image recognition deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system generates a simulated captured image that copies what the camera would actually capture from the designated position and posture. This simulated image is overlaid with an object indicator showing where the target object would appear, providing visual feedback to users about whether the object will be properly captured for image recognition without requiring physical camera installation and testing.
3Measurement precision
If comprehensive image suitability metrics are calculated and displayed, then the image quality assessment is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the image suitability assessment into multiple independent metrics: resolution adequacy (whether the object occupies sufficient pixels), gazing point angle (whether the camera views the object from an appropriate angle), and non-hiding rate (whether obstacles block the view). Each metric is calculated and displayed separately, allowing users to understand specific aspects of image quality without being overwhelmed by a single complex assessment.

AI summary
An appearance presentation system is provided. The appearance presentation system can present the appearance of an object to be monitored at a position that the user designates in an image such that the user can previously grasp the extent to which the image to be captured with a camera is suitable for an image recognition process. A display control unit 10 displays, on a display device, an image obtained by superimposing an object indicator indicating the object to be monitored on an image to be captured when the camera of which position and posture are determined shoots a predetermined region to be monitored. A position designation reception unit 4 receives the designation of the position of the object indicator in the image. An image generation unit 3 generates an image to be captured when the camera shoots a state in which the object to be monitored is placed at a position that is in the region to be monitored and that corresponds to the position designated in the image. Then, the display control unit 10 extracts a part corresponding to the object to be monitored from the image generated in the image generation unit 3, and displays the part on the display device.
