Dynamic Detection Area Adjustment for Stereoscopic Imaging Misalignment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In compound eye imaging, the detection areas do not adjust appropriately when the stereoscopic effect is adjusted, leading to potential misalignment and inability to focus on the subject, as the position of the detection areas remains central and does not change with the displacement of captured areas.
Innovation Solution
An image processing device with a detection area setting mechanism that adjusts the detection areas within the imaging areas after displacement, compensating for optical misalignment using a displacement adjustment mechanism, which includes optical axis correction and zoom lens control, allowing for precise alignment and adjustment of focus, exposure, and white balance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the captured areas are displaced to adjust the stereoscopic effect, then the stereoscopic effect is improved, but the detection areas become misaligned with the subject
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the detection area dynamic by allowing it to move together with the captured area when stereoscopic adjustment is performed. Instead of keeping the detection area fixed at the central position, the system dynamically repositions the detection area to maintain alignment with the subject, thereby resolving the contradiction between stereoscopic effect adjustment and detection area alignment.
2Ease of operation
If the detection areas are kept at the central section of the screen, then the image adjustment processing is simplified, but the detection areas cannot track the subject when captured areas are displaced
Solution Approach 1:
The detection area transitions from a static central position to a dynamic position that moves with the captured area. This dynamic adjustment ensures that the detection area continues to track the subject even when the captured area is displaced for stereoscopic effect, thereby maintaining both ease of operation and reliability of focus alignment.
3Device complexity
If the detection areas are fixed in position, then the device complexity is reduced, but the image cannot be appropriately adjusted when captured area changes
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces dynamic positioning capability for the detection area without significantly increasing device complexity. By making the detection area move in coordination with the captured area during stereoscopic adjustment, the system achieves adaptability to different imaging conditions while maintaining relatively simple device architecture.

AI summary
An image processing device, method and computer program product cooperate to make adjustments in detection area for image adjustment processing to when displacement adjustments have been made to a first or second imaging area. A detection area setting device sets a first detection area within a first imaging area and sets a second detection area in a second imaging area after a displacement adjustment is applied to at least one of the first imaging area and the second imaging area. The first detection area is an area used in image adjustment processing.
