Dual-Light Image Integration for Synchronized Lossless Storage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing dual-light photographing systems face issues with information loss and poor synchronization during image storage and transmission due to limitations in data processing strategies.
Innovation Solution
A dual-light image integration method that involves receiving and separately storing image data from different devices, combining them to create composite third image data, and transmitting this data, which can be either a picture-in-picture image or a fused image, using specific algorithms to determine pixel values and ensure synchronization.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If dual-light image data is processed using existing data processing strategies, then image transmission and storage can be performed, but information loss occurs and synchronization performance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the dual-light image data processing into distinct components: visible light image data and infrared image data are processed separately through independent processing streams. Each stream undergoes separate encoding, packaging, and transmission, allowing independent optimization and error handling for each modality while maintaining overall system synchronization through timestamp-based coordination.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary data structure that includes synchronization metadata, timestamps, and correlation information between the visible light and infrared image streams. This intermediary structure acts as a mediator that preserves the relationship between the two different types of image data during transmission and storage, enabling accurate re-synchronization at the receiving end without direct mixing of the raw sensor data.
2Manufacturing precision
If dual-light image data is transmitted and stored using conventional methods, then basic functionality is maintained, but image quality and completeness deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the visible light image data and infrared image data into a unified dual-light image product that preserves all original information from both sensors. The merging process creates a composite data structure that includes both image streams with their respective metadata, allowing complete retention of information while presenting an integrated output that leverages the complementary characteristics of both imaging modalities.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary processing actions on the dual-light image data including calibration, alignment, and encoding before transmission or storage. These preliminary actions ensure that the data is optimally prepared for subsequent use, maintaining high image quality and completeness by addressing potential issues such as sensor misalignment, noise, and data formatting problems before the data leaves the capture system.
