Image Object Segmentation for Independent Editing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information processing systems fail to allow independent movement or editing of secondary objects relative to primary objects within captured images, limiting interactive and display capabilities.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus with input, image acquisition, and display control sections that extract and process captured images to separate and manipulate primary and secondary objects, enabling their independent display and editing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a captured image containing a first object and a second object installed in association with the first object is processed, then both objects can be extracted and displayed, but the second object cannot be moved relative to the first object or edited independently
Solution Approach 1:
The captured image is segmented into multiple independent object images using image processing techniques. The system identifies and separates the first object and second object into distinct image data structures, allowing independent manipulation of each object while maintaining their spatial relationships. This segmentation enables the second object to be moved and edited independently from the first object.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary processing layer that manages the relationship between the first object image and second object image. This intermediary structure stores positional and associative information, enabling independent manipulation of the second object while preserving its installed-in-association relationship with the first object through coordinate transformations and reference systems.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the second object is displayed in association with the first object, then the spatial relationship is maintained, but the second object cannot be independently manipulated
Solution Approach 1:
The system resolves the contradiction by operating in multiple dimensional spaces simultaneously. The spatial relationship between objects is maintained in the coordinate system dimension, while independent manipulation is enabled in the object instance dimension. Positional information is preserved through coordinate transformations that allow the second object to be moved independently while its relationship to the first object is maintained through reference coordinate systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements dynamic relationship management where the association between the first object and second object is maintained through flexible coordinate transformations rather than fixed positional constraints. This allows the second object to be moved and edited independently while the system dynamically updates the spatial relationship information to maintain accuracy of the installed-in-association relationship.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes an input receiving section that receives an input of a captured image in which a first object and a second object installed in association with the first object are recorded; a first image acquisition section that acquires a first object image that is an image of the first object extracted from the captured image; a second image acquisition section that acquires a second object image that is an image of the second object extracted from the captured image; and a display control section that displays both the first object image and the second object image, the display control section displaying the first object image and the second object image in a state where the second object image is movable relative to the first object image or in a state where the second object image is editable.
