Complementary Index Color for Stereoscopic Object Positioning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information processing systems face difficulties in accurately determining the position and size of objects within images, particularly in distinguishing between the object and index images during imaging processes.
Innovation Solution
The system employs a display controller that acquires and sets the color of an index image to a complementary color of the through image, allowing for easy differentiation and alignment of the object within the image, using a frame-shaped line index image to ensure accurate sizing and positioning.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If a through image and an index image are superimposed on the same display, then imaging information can be provided, but the object to be imaged cannot be easily distinguished from the index image
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies color differentiation by setting the index image to a color different from the through image. The color setter specifically sets the index image color to a complementary color of the through image color, making the object to be imaged easily distinguishable from the index image while maintaining both images on the same display.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the color parameter of the index image dynamically based on the through image color. The color acquirer obtains the color of the through image, and the color setter adjusts the index image color accordingly, creating a parameter change that enhances distinguishability between the two images.
2Device complexity
If the index image is displayed in the same color as the through image, then the display is simple, but the position of the object to be imaged cannot be easily decided
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the color of the index image to be different from the through image color. This color differentiation maintains display simplicity while significantly improving the ease of operation for object positioning, as users can easily distinguish and identify the object boundaries.
3Measurement precision
If a frame-shaped line index image is used, then the object size can be conformed to a predetermined size, but the index image may hinder viewing of the through image
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses color differentiation to reduce the harmful effect of the index image on viewing. By setting the index image to a complementary color of the through image, the frame-shaped line becomes visually distinguishable while minimizing obstruction of the through image content.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs a frame-shaped line design that is asymmetric in its function - it provides clear boundary definition for size measurement while its line structure inherently allows partial transparency to the through image content behind it.

AI summary
An example of a game apparatus includes a CPU, and in a mode of examining a flower based on an imaged image, the CPU activates two outward cameras to thereby display an imaging screen on a stereoscopic LCD and a lower LCD. In the center of an upper screen displayed on the stereoscopic LCD, a designation image for adjusting a position and a size of an object to be imaged is displayed. Also, on the upper screen, a through image imaged by the outward camera is displayed, and the designation image is displayed in front of the through image. At this time, the designation image is displayed in a complementary color of a color of the through image.
