Display Apparatus Object Recognition via Region Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image display apparatuses face high processing loads due to the need to analyze entire captured image data for evaluating pointing elements, which can be inefficient and resource-intensive.
Innovation Solution
A display method and apparatus that acquire captured image data of a second area containing a first area, recognizing objects within the first area using only partial data from that area, allowing for reduced processing loads by separating and utilizing only necessary image data for object recognition and function-based image processing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If the entire captured image data is used for evaluating the pointing element, then the evaluation accuracy is improved, but the processing load increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the captured image data into multiple regions of interest (ROIs) based on the display area position. Instead of processing the entire captured image, the system segments and processes only the relevant ROI that corresponds to the display area, thereby reducing processing load while maintaining evaluation accuracy for the pointing element.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts and processes only the necessary portion of the captured image data that contains the pointing element within the display area. By taking out and processing only this relevant subset of data rather than the entire image, the system reduces computational complexity while preserving the accuracy needed for pointing element evaluation.
2Loss of information
If the entire captured image data is used for evaluation, then comprehensive information is obtained, but the processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The captured image data is segmented into multiple regions, and only the region corresponding to the display area (first ROI) is processed for pointing element evaluation. This segmentation approach ensures that no relevant information is lost while significantly reducing the time required to process the image data.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies partial action by processing only the necessary portion of the captured image data (the first ROI containing the display area) rather than the entire image. This partial processing approach maintains information completeness for the evaluation purpose while reducing processing time by avoiding unnecessary computation on irrelevant image regions.

AI summary
A display method includes acquiring captured image data generated by capturing an image of a second area containing a first area, the captured image data containing first partial data representing an image of the first area and second partial data representing an image of the second area, recognizing an object located in the first area by using the first partial data with no use of the second partial data, displaying a first image that underwent a first process according to the position of the object when the object is recognized as a first pointing element and when the object moves from the first area onto a display surface, and displaying a second image that underwent a second process according to the position of the object when the object is recognized as a second pointing element and when the object moves from the first area onto the display surface.
