Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional panorama image capture technologies struggle with accurately matching images when objects move during the capture process, leading to incorrect object representation and reduced image quality.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device is equipped with a method to generate a dynamic panorama by reproducing the motion of objects during panorama image capture, synchronizing static panorama images with dynamic video, and incorporating audio data for enhanced user experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If conventional panorama image capture is used to generate a single panorama image, then the capture process is simple and fast, but image quality deteriorates when objects move during capture due to incorrect matching and object representation errors
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by generating multiple panorama images with different motion parameters (different object motion states) from the same captured images. Instead of assuming static objects, the system creates dynamic panoramas that account for various possible object movements, allowing the matching process to adapt to moving objects and improve accuracy without requiring a fundamentally more complex capture process.
2Manufacturing precision
If multiple panorama images are generated to account for object motion, then image quality improves, but the processing complexity and time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-generating multiple panorama images with different motion parameters during the capture phase. This preparation work is done in advance so that when objects move, the system already has multiple candidate panoramas ready, reducing the need for complex real-time processing and minimizing additional time loss.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates multiple copies of panorama images with different motion characteristics from the same source data. Instead of processing one panorama through complex algorithms, it generates multiple simpler panorama versions that can be directly compared or selected, reducing processing time while maintaining accuracy.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a single panorama image is produced, then the output is simple and quick to generate, but user experience deteriorates when motion information is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the panorama system multi-functional by generating panoramas that can represent both static and moving objects. The same panorama generation process produces images that adapt to different motion scenarios, allowing the system to serve multiple purposes (static panorama, moving object tracking, motion analysis) without requiring separate specialized systems.
