Assembled Group Image Height Data Positioning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Obtaining high-quality group photographs is challenging due to difficulties in gathering all individuals at the same time and coordinating expressions, as well as the inability to update or modify group photographs without repeating the photography session.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for generating an assembled group image from individual subject images using height data to determine preliminary and final subject positions, allowing for the creation of a cohesive group image without requiring all individuals to be present simultaneously, and enabling updates by adjusting image positions based on height data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional group photography is used to capture all individuals together, then the group photograph can be obtained, but it is difficult to gather all appropriate people at the same time and coordinate their expressions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the group photography process into individual portrait sessions, where each person is photographed separately. This segmentation eliminates the need to gather all individuals simultaneously and coordinate their expressions, while still producing a complete group photograph by assembling the individual portraits later.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary actions by capturing individual portraits in advance before assembling them into the final group photograph. This allows each individual to be photographed at their convenience with proper expression coordination, and the images are stored for later assembly into the complete group image.
2Adaptability or versatility
If traditional group photography is used, then the group photograph is captured, but it cannot be updated or modified without repeating the photography session
Solution Approach 1:
By maintaining individual portrait images as separate, reusable components, the system enables selective updates to the group photograph. When personnel changes occur, only the affected individual portraits need to be replaced rather than retaking the entire group session, significantly reducing update time and improving adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent captures and stores individual portraits in advance as reusable assets. This preliminary action creates a library of individual images that can be quickly recombined to update the group photograph when needed, eliminating the need to repeat the entire photography session for minor changes.
3Ease of operation
If individual subject images are assembled into a group image, then the group image can be created without gathering all individuals, but the arrangement must be organized to appear cohesive
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by using height data specific to each individual to determine their vertical position in the assembled group image. This ensures that each person is positioned at the appropriate height level, creating a natural, cohesive appearance that reflects their actual relative heights while maintaining ease of assembly through automated positioning.
Data Source
AI summary
An assembled group image is generated from subject images. Each of the subject images is associated with height data for the subject in the image. The height data is used to position the subject images in the assembled group image to provide a natural appearance. Shadows can also be added to the assembled group image.
