Electronic Device Side-by-Side Image Comparison
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies struggle to enable detailed comparison between multiple image areas captured via multiple optical systems, as current systems can only display one enlarged image area at a time, limiting the ability to adjust image quality differences and perform thorough comparisons.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a processor and memory that executes acquisition processing to capture and store enlarged images of multiple image areas, and display control processing to display these enlarged images side by side, allowing for easy comparison.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If both image areas are enlarged and displayed side by side on PC display device, then detailed comparison between image areas is enabled, but camera monitor cannot display both enlarged image areas simultaneously due to small screen size
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the display function between two devices: the camera monitor displays one enlarged image area, while the PC display device displays the other enlarged image area side by side. This segmentation allows both image areas to be enlarged for detailed comparison while working within the limited camera monitor display area.
Solution Approach 2:
The PC display device acts as an intermediary that receives image data from the camera and displays the second enlarged image area. This intermediary enables the system to overcome the camera monitor's limited display area by utilizing the PC's larger display capabilities.
2Ease of operation
If only one image area is enlarged and displayed on camera monitor, then display is simple and feasible, but detailed comparison between multiple image areas cannot be performed
Solution Approach 1:
The system extends the display from a single dimension (camera monitor showing one image area) to multiple dimensions by utilizing both the camera monitor and PC display device. This allows one image area to be displayed on the camera monitor while another is displayed on the PC, enabling detailed comparison without compromising operational simplicity.
3Manufacturing precision
If image quality difference adjustment is performed by enlarging both image areas, then focus adjustment accuracy is improved, but the system requires displaying both enlarged image areas which is not supported by current camera monitors
Solution Approach 1:
The display function is segmented between the camera monitor and PC display device, with each device displaying one enlarged image area. This segmentation enables focus adjustment precision to be improved through enlargement while distributing the complexity across two devices rather than requiring a single complex display system.

AI summary
An electronic device executes acquisition processing to acquire an image output from an imaging apparatus that captures a plurality of image areas via a plurality of optical systems respectively, executes display control processing to perform control so that the image is displayed, and executes reception processing to receive a user operation for performing enlargement display. In a case where enlargement display of a first image area and a second image area among the plurality of image areas is performed, in the acquisition processing, an enlarged image of the first image area is acquired and stored in a storage, and then an enlarged image of the second image area is acquired, and in the display control processing, control is performed so that the stored enlarged image of the first image area and the acquired enlarged image of the second image area are displayed side by side.
