Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Creating high-quality captured image content for events like music live shows is challenging due to the difficulty in selecting appropriate camera compositions, which often requires skilled labor and increases costs.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that includes a composition selection unit and a composition switching control unit, utilizing a composition selection table with weight information to automatically switch camera compositions based on imaging targets and types, incorporating both real and virtual cameras.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If manual composition selection is performed to ensure high-quality content, then content quality is improved, but work cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automatic composition switching by having the camera system self-select appropriate compositions based on detected subject information and pre-set composition selection tables, eliminating the need for manual operator intervention while maintaining high content quality
Solution Approach 2:
Composition selection tables are pre-configured with multiple composition types and their corresponding parameters before the imaging event. When a subject is detected, the system automatically retrieves and applies the appropriate pre-prepared composition from the table, enabling rapid quality composition switching without real-time manual adjustment
2Manufacturing precision
If skilled personnel are used for composition selection to improve content quality, then content quality is improved, but labor cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The camera system autonomously performs composition selection based on automatically detected subject information (such as position, size, and type) by referencing pre-configured composition selection tables, completely eliminating the need for skilled operators to manually select compositions
Solution Approach 2:
The manual mechanical process of skilled operators visually assessing the scene and adjusting camera parameters is replaced by an automated information processing system that detects subject data, queries composition tables, and automatically configures camera settings based on algorithmic decision-making
3Productivity
If automatic composition switching is implemented to reduce work cost, then productivity is improved, but content quality may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple high-quality composition options are pre-configured in the composition selection tables with optimized parameters for different subject types and scenarios. The automatic system simply retrieves the appropriate pre-validated composition, ensuring quality while enabling rapid switching
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors detected subject information (position, size, type) and dynamically selects compositions from the tables that best match the current scene conditions, ensuring that automatic switching maintains or improves content quality by adapting to real-time changes

AI summary
An information processing apparatus according to the present technology includes: a composition selection unit that selects a composition of a camera on the basis of a composition selection table in which weight information is associated with each combination of an imaging target by the camera and a composition type of the camera; and a composition switching control unit that performs control for switching the composition of the camera to the composition selected by the composition selection unit.
