Image Processing Apparatus Dynamic Range Adjustment Notification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems fail to ensure that image adjustment parameters match the characteristics of either Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) or High Dynamic Range (HDR) environments, leading to images with unintended characteristics when switching between modes.
Innovation Solution
An image processing apparatus with a first adjusting unit for SDR and a second adjusting unit for HDR, along with a notification unit, allows for seamless switching and notification of adjustment parameter readjustments to maintain expected image characteristics across both environments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If adjustment parameters are continuously used when switching between SDR and HDR image adjustments, then operational continuity is maintained, but the adjusted image characteristics become different from expected characteristics
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary detection of the current image adjustment mode (SDR or HDR) and proactively notifies the user before parameter adjustment is needed. This allows the user to prepare appropriate adjustment parameters in advance, ensuring both operational continuity and accurate image characteristics when switching between dynamic range modes.
Solution Approach 2:
The notification unit provides feedback to the user about the current adjustment mode and required parameter changes. This feedback mechanism ensures that users are aware of the mode switching and can adjust parameters accordingly, maintaining both ease of operation and image adjustment precision.
2Manufacturing precision
If the system notifies the user of parameter adjustment necessity when switching dynamic range modes, then image characteristic accuracy is improved, but operational complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects the current image adjustment mode and determines what parameter adjustments are needed, then notifies the user. This self-service approach reduces operational complexity by automating the detection and notification process, while still maintaining high image adjustment accuracy through informed user action.
Solution Approach 2:
The system manages parameter changes by detecting mode switches and notifying users of specific parameter adjustments needed. This structured approach to parameter management simplifies the overall system operation while ensuring accurate image adjustment characteristics are maintained.

AI summary
An image processing apparatus includes a first adjusting unit, a second adjusting unit, and a notification unit, implemented via at least one processor. The first adjusting unit is configured to switch and perform, on a raw image, a first dynamic range image adjustment suitable for a first dynamic range and a second dynamic range image adjustment suitable for a second dynamic range wider than the first dynamic range. The second adjusting unit is configured to perform a second image adjustment on an image after the first dynamic range image adjustment or the second dynamic range image adjustment. The notification unit is configured to, in a case where an operation for switching the first dynamic range image adjustment and the second dynamic range image adjustment is performed, make a notification about an adjustment parameter used in the second image adjustment.
