Camera Image Boundary Overlay for Clear Event Area Display
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies do not effectively display the range of use in a given space, making it difficult to understand where an event is taking place.
Innovation Solution
A display method that superimposes a boundary image on a camera image based on area information, using beamforming processing to focus on the event area and mask or modify images outside this area, thereby enhancing the visibility of the event's range.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If a camera image is displayed without any processing, then the entire space is visible, but the range of use of an event cannot be easily understood
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the camera image by superimposing boundary lines that divide the visible space into distinct regions. These boundary lines correspond to the event area defined by area information, creating separate visual zones that allow users to easily distinguish between the event range and other areas, thereby resolving the contradiction between full visibility and event range clarity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces boundary lines as an intermediary visual element between the camera image and the area information. These boundary lines serve as a mediator that translates the abstract area information into a visual representation that can be directly overlaid on the camera image, enabling users to understand event range without requiring complex processing of the entire image
2Loss of information
If boundary lines are superimposed on the camera image to show event range, then the event range becomes clear, but the image processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary action by pre-defining the event area through area information input before displaying the camera image. The boundary lines are generated based on this pre-established area information, allowing the system to quickly overlay the appropriate boundaries without performing complex real-time analysis of the entire image, thus reducing processing complexity while maintaining clarity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a new visual dimension by superimposing boundary lines on the camera image. This dimensional addition creates a layered representation where the boundary lines (representing event range) are overlaid on top of the camera image, allowing users to perceive event range information without requiring complex manipulation of the original image data itself

AI summary
A display method includes receiving a camera image, receiving area information indicating a use area of an event, and superimposing, on the camera image, a boundary image on a horizontal plane and displaying the boundary image superposed on the camera image, and the boundary image corresponds to the area information.
