Image Processing Apparatus for Self-Photographing Background Composition
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing self-photographing technologies face difficulties in easily incorporating a desired background within the image frame, as they require matching the entire background in both image data, making it challenging for users to adjust the image range effectively.
Innovation Solution
An image processing apparatus and method that generates a main image by determining whether a captured image satisfies a preliminary composition condition based on a main composition condition, allowing for the inclusion of a desired background object within the image frame without matching the entire background, using a condition determining unit, processing unit, and image processing unit to adjust and process the image accordingly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If the degree of matching between the first image data and the second image data is determined in the range of the entire image frame based on a motion vector, then the background matching accuracy is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates because the user has to adjust the image range extensively
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the image frame into a first image range (for background matching) and a second image range (for user imaging). By segmenting the evaluation area to only the first image range where background objects are located, the system achieves accurate background matching without requiring the user to adjust the entire image frame, thus improving ease of operation while maintaining matching accuracy.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the entire background is required to match between the first image data and the second image data, then the composition consistency is improved, but the adaptability deteriorates because the user cannot easily include a desired specific background object
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by requiring background matching only in the first image range (local area containing background objects) rather than the entire image frame. This allows the user to flexibly adjust the second image range to include desired specific background objects while maintaining composition consistency in the designated background area, thus improving adaptability without sacrificing composition stability.

AI summary
An image processing apparatus generates a main image as an image satisfying a main composition condition indicating a condition regarding a predetermined composition. The image processing apparatus includes: a condition determining unit that determines whether a captured image obtained through imaging of an imaging unit satisfies a preliminary composition condition which is based on the main composition condition; a processing unit that executes a process of obtaining a preliminary image as an image satisfying the preliminary composition condition in accordance with the determination result of the condition determining unit; and an image processing unit that generates the main image by processing the preliminary image obtained through the process based on the main composition condition.
