Image Pickup Apparatus User-Weighted Shot Selection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Life log cameras often capture unwanted video images when set to automatically shoot at predetermined intervals, missing preferred moments intended by the user.
Innovation Solution
A control method for an image pickup apparatus that prioritizes user-instructed shot images over automatically processed images, allowing for dynamic adjustment of the shooting process based on user preferences through a combination of motor-driven mechanisms and machine learning algorithms for improved subject detection and image selection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the camera automatically shoots images at predetermined intervals, then continuous recording of daily life scenes is achieved, but the captured images may not align with user preferences or intended moments
Solution Approach 1:
The system analyzes automatically captured images and provides feedback to the user through display and selection interfaces. Users can review captured images and provide feedback on which images they prefer, allowing the system to learn and adapt to user preferences over time, thereby improving image selection accuracy while maintaining continuous recording capability
Solution Approach 2:
The image pickup apparatus autonomously captures images at predetermined intervals without requiring continuous user intervention. The system serves itself by automatically shooting, storing, and presenting images for user review, reducing the need for manual operation while still enabling user preference alignment through subsequent selection processes
2Measurement precision
If greater weights are assigned to user-instructed shot images, then image selection accuracy according to user preference is improved, but system complexity increases due to weight management and processing
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the weight parameter assigned to different images based on their source (user-instructed vs. automatic). By dynamically adjusting these weight parameters, the system prioritizes user-preferred images in selection and display without requiring complex structural changes, achieving improved user preference alignment through parameter optimization rather than system redesign
Data Source
AI summary
An image pickup apparatus is configured to change a shooting process based on data on a shot image. The image pickup apparatus is configured to, when the image pickup apparatus changes the shooting process, assign greater weights to the data on the shot image based on an instruction from a user than to the data on the shot image automatically processed.
