Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In image processing, existing technologies face challenges in synchronously transmitting original image data and data generated from real-time computations, requiring multiple transmission channels and increasing complexity.
Innovation Solution
An image and message encoding system that combines original images with message data into an integrated image of higher resolution, allowing synchronous transmission using a single channel by embedding message data within the image, utilizing additional pixels to encode information without altering the original image's resolution or splitting it.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multiple transmission channels are used to transmit original image data and computed data separately, then data transmission completeness is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines original image data and computed message data into a single integrated image for transmission. The encoding unit merges these two separate data streams into one unified data structure that can be transmitted through a single channel, eliminating the need for multiple transmission channels while maintaining data completeness.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated image serves multiple functions simultaneously: it carries the original image information, embeds the computed message data, and maintains synchronization between the two data types. This multi-functional approach allows a single transmission channel to handle what previously required multiple specialized channels.
2Productivity
If message data is embedded in the integrated image, then transmission efficiency is improved, but image resolution requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent embeds message data in the chrominance dimension rather than increasing spatial resolution. By utilizing the color information channels (such as Cb and Cr in YCbCr color space) to encode message data, the system can embed additional information without increasing the spatial dimensions of the image.
Solution Approach 2:
The encoding process transforms the original image into a different color space where message data can be embedded in specific parameter channels. By changing from RGB to YCbCr or similar color spaces, the system can modify chrominance parameters to encode message data without affecting luminance or overall image quality.
3Measurement precision
If real-time computation data is synchronized with original image data, then processing accuracy is improved, but transmission complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges original image data and real-time computation results into a single integrated data structure. The encoding unit processes both data types simultaneously and outputs them as one unified stream, ensuring synchronization is maintained inherently through the merging process rather than requiring separate synchronized transmission channels.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a copy of the original image and embeds the computation results within this copy. The message data is encoded into specific regions or channels of the copied image structure, allowing the original and computed data to travel together as one unit while maintaining their individual integrity.
