Dual-Color Frame Border for Vehicle Surrounding Image Highlighting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle surrounding image display systems face challenges in maintaining the highlighting effect of attention objects due to frame borders becoming inconspicuous when displayed in a single color, especially when the background color or brightness is similar.
Innovation Solution
A surrounding image display system that uses a processing unit to generate a display image with a frame border comprising a first and second color, where the first color is used for the main frame border and the second color is used for a sub-frame border, ensuring the highlighting effect is maintained even in varying background conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a frame border is displayed in a single color, then the display processing is simple, but the frame border becomes inconspicuous due to the relation with background color or brightness
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies color changes by displaying the frame border in two different colors: a first color (e.g., white) and a second color (e.g., yellow). The processing unit determines which color to use based on the brightness of the attention object, ensuring the frame border remains conspicuous against varying background conditions while maintaining relatively simple display processing.
2Reliability
If the lightness of the frame border color is changed to increase difference from background, then the highlighting effect is improved, but the frame border may become inconspicuous when displayed in a single color due to background color or brightness relations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by dynamically switching between two frame border colors based on the brightness of the attention object. The processing unit adjusts the frame border color in real-time according to the detected brightness level, enabling the frame border to adapt to different background conditions and maintain its highlighting effect across various scenarios.
3Device complexity
If a frame border is displayed in a single color, then the display processing is simple, but the highlighting effect of the attention object is decreased
Solution Approach 1:
The patent prevents loss of highlighting information by using color changes. The processing unit selects between a first color (white) and a second color (yellow) for the frame border based on the brightness of the attention object, ensuring the frame border remains conspicuous and the highlighting effect is maintained without significantly increasing processing complexity.

AI summary
A surrounding image display system (1, 2) equipped for a vehicle includes a processing unit (10, 12) that is connected to a camera (20, 22) that captures an image around the vehicle. The processing unit (10, 12) processes the captured image from the camera (20, 22) to recognize an attention object, and generates a display image in which a frame border (70) that at least partially surrounds the recognized attention object is superimposed on the captured image. The frame border (70) includes a first frame border portion (72) drawn in a first color and a second frame border portion (74) drawn in a second color different from the first color.
