Face Detection Mark Display for Natural Image Notification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Displaying a detected target image within a rectangular border can give viewers an odd impression, and existing technologies lack effective methods to notify users of detection without using borders.
Innovation Solution
An apparatus and method that detect a target image within an applied image, using a mark to indicate detection proximity without enclosing the image, with adjustable mark characteristics based on image size, focus, exposure, and composition, ensuring the mark is visible and informative.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If a detected target image is enclosed within a rectangular border, then the detection is clearly indicated to the user, but the viewer is given an odd impression
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the detection notification function from the traditional rectangular border enclosure and implements it through a separate mark displayed in the vicinity of the detected target image. This separates the indication function from the image display, maintaining clarity while avoiding the odd impression caused by borders.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a mark as an intermediary element that serves as a detection notification without directly enclosing the target image. This intermediary mark conveys the detection information while preserving the natural appearance of the image, thus resolving the contradiction between clear notification and aesthetic quality.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If a mark is displayed in the vicinity of the detected target image without enclosing it, then the viewer is not given an odd impression, but the detection notification may be less clear
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by making the mark's characteristics (size, color, transparency, shape, motion) variable based on the detected image properties. This allows the mark to provide clear detection notification while adapting its appearance to maintain aesthetic quality and provide additional information about the detected image.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes color changes as a key mechanism to enhance the mark's visibility and informational content. By varying the mark's color based on image characteristics and using complementary colors, the system maintains clear detection notification while avoiding odd impressions on the viewer.
3Loss of information
If the mark's characteristics are made variable based on image properties, then more information is conveyed to the user, but the display control complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamics by making the mark's characteristics dynamically adjustable based on detected image properties such as size, focus, exposure, and composition. This dynamic adaptation allows the mark to convey rich information about image quality while the underlying mechanism remains a simple display control system.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies parameter changes by varying the mark's visual parameters (size, color, transparency, shape, motion) according to image quality metrics. This approach enables comprehensive information communication through the mark without requiring complex structural changes to the display system, as only parameter values need to be adjusted.

AI summary
If a user is to be notified of detection of a face image, it is so arranged that the user can be so notified without being given an odd impression. To achieve this, the image of a subject is obtained by sensing the image of the subject. The image of the subject obtained contains a portrait image, and the face-image portion of the portrait image is detected by executing processing for detecting a face image. When a face image is detected, an apple mark, strawberry mark or heart mark, etc., is displayed near the detected face image. Instead of enclosing the face image within a rectangular border, the mark is displayed near the face image. The result is that the user is not given an odd impression.
