Image Feedback Control for Preference-Based Capture and Transformation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image processing technologies require users to provide instructions from scratch, which can be difficult, especially for those without photography knowledge, and struggle to adjust image capturing conditions based on user preferences.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that collects user feedback on image analysis results to control parameters related to image acquisition and transformation, using a combination of machine learning models and natural language processing to suggest and implement adjustments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If users provide detailed instructions from scratch for image processing, then the image processing can be precisely controlled according to user preferences, but the ease of operation deteriorates because it requires photography knowledge and is difficult for ordinary users
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary system that includes an analysis unit which automatically analyzes images and generates processing parameter suggestions. This intermediary translates complex image processing parameters into user-friendly feedback options, allowing users to provide simple feedback without needing photography knowledge, thus resolving the contradiction between precise control and ease of operation
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where users provide feedback on automatically generated processing parameter suggestions, and the system iteratively refines the parameters based on this feedback. This allows ordinary users to achieve precise image processing control through simple iterative feedback rather than providing detailed instructions from scratch
2Adaptability or versatility
If the system collects and processes user feedback iteratively, then the adaptability to user preferences improves, but the processing time increases due to multiple iterations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary actions by automatically analyzing images and generating initial processing parameter suggestions before user feedback is provided. This preliminary analysis reduces the amount of work needed in subsequent iterations, allowing the system to adapt to user preferences while minimizing additional processing time
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a configurable iteration mechanism where the system can perform a predetermined number of iterations or stop when convergence criteria are met. This allows the system to balance adaptability with time consumption by performing just enough iterations to achieve satisfactory results without excessive processing
