Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional imaging devices with detachable lens units fail to display preferred characteristic values, such as luminance and color distributions, for each optical system in captured images.
Innovation Solution
The digital camera acquires and processes dual-lens images to display characteristic values like luminance and chromaticity distributions, generating histograms and waveform monitors for each image area captured through separate optical systems.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If conventional imaging devices with detachable lens units are used, then the device structure remains simple and manageable, but the capability to display characteristic values for each optical system is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The imaging device divides the captured image into multiple image areas corresponding to different optical systems. Each image area is processed separately to extract characteristic values, allowing the device to maintain a simple overall structure while providing detailed per-optical-system information through segmentation of the image processing function.
2Loss of information
If the imaging device processes and displays characteristic values for each optical system, then information completeness is improved, but processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The processing complexity is managed by segmenting the image into distinct areas corresponding to each optical system before processing. This allows the processor to handle each segment independently using the same algorithms, avoiding the need for complex integrated processing while still achieving complete characteristic value extraction for each optical system.
Solution Approach 2:
The device performs preliminary segmentation of the image into areas corresponding to different optical systems before extracting characteristic values. This preliminary organization of data simplifies subsequent processing steps, as the processor can directly analyze each segmented area without needing to identify optical system boundaries during the measurement phase.
3Device complexity
If characteristic values are displayed for the entire captured image only, then processing remains simple, but measurement precision for individual optical systems deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The device segments the captured image into multiple image areas, each corresponding to a specific optical system. Characteristic values are then extracted and displayed for each segmented area individually, providing precise measurements for each optical system while maintaining relatively simple processing through the use of standard image analysis algorithms applied to each segment.
