Image Inspection Interface with Automatic Defect Data Positioning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for superimposing defect data on images in concrete structure inspections require manual parameter adjustments, making the browsing operation complicated and difficult to confirm defect data accuracy.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that automatically determines an appropriate display position for defect data on captured images, facilitating user interaction without complex operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If defect data is superposed and displayed on the concrete wall surface image, then the defect data and image can be simultaneously browsed, but it becomes difficult to browse the image of the portion corresponding to the defect data
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the defect data from its original superposed position on the image and displays it in a separate, dedicated defect data display area. This separation allows the image to be viewed clearly without obstruction from defect data, while the defect data remains accessible in its own display region. The system maintains both displays simultaneously, enabling independent browsing of both the image and defect data without mutual interference.
2Ease of operation
If manual parameter adjustments are required for moving and deforming defect data, then the defect data can be positioned for browsing, but the browsing operation becomes complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically determines the optimal display parameters for defect data without requiring manual user intervention. The defect data is automatically positioned and scaled based on its relationship to the image, using algorithms that calculate appropriate display parameters. This self-service approach eliminates the need for users to manually adjust positioning parameters, thereby simplifying the browsing operation while maintaining effective defect data presentation.
3Loss of information
If defect data is displayed superimposed on the image, then both can be viewed together, but the accuracy confirmation of defect data becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the display into distinct regions: the image display area and the defect data display area. This segmentation allows users to focus on one element at a time without the visual interference of superposed defect data on the image. Users can systematically compare corresponding locations between the two separate displays, thereby improving the accuracy of defect data confirmation while maintaining the ability to view both elements simultaneously in their respective dedicated areas.

AI summary
It is an object of the present invention to provide a user interface which facilitates confirmation of an area in an image and associated data corresponding to the area without requiring user's complicated operations. To achieve the object, an information processing apparatus comprises: an obtaining unit configured to obtain a first image including a plurality of objects, and information related to respective positions of the plurality of objects in the first image; and a determining unit configured to determine a position in case of shifting and displaying a second image indicating the plurality of objects with respect to the first image, based on the obtained positions of the plurality of objects.
