Image Processing Circuitry Auto-Adjusting Settings for Input Features
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Image processing apparatuses often fail to acquire appropriate images due to inappropriate settings, leading to suboptimal image quality, as they lack the ability to automatically adjust settings based on the features of the input image.
Innovation Solution
The apparatus includes circuitry to set initial setting information, determine if it matches the input image's features, and adjust to secondary setting information for processing when necessary, generating and displaying a processed image to improve image quality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If the image processing apparatus uses fixed setting information for image processing, then the device complexity is reduced, but the image quality becomes suboptimal when settings do not match the input image features
Solution Approach 1:
The image processing apparatus automatically determines whether setting information matches input image features and autonomously adjusts settings without requiring user intervention. The determination unit self-evaluates the compatibility between settings and image features, and the identification unit self-corrects by selecting appropriate settings, enabling the system to serve itself in optimizing image processing parameters.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically changes processing parameters by switching between different setting information based on the determined compatibility with input image features. When a mismatch is detected, the identification unit selects alternative setting information from storage, effectively changing parameters like resolution, color mode, or compression level to match the actual image characteristics.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the image processing apparatus automatically adjusts settings based on input image features, then the adaptability is improved, but the processing time increases due to additional determination steps
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary determination of setting information compatibility with input image features before actual image processing begins. By evaluating whether the current settings match the image features in advance, the system avoids time-consuming trial-and-error processing and can directly apply appropriate settings, thereby reducing overall processing time despite the added determination step.
3Ease of operation
If the image processing apparatus provides only preview functionality, then the user convenience is limited, but the system complexity is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The image processing apparatus automatically performs the full processing workflow including determination, identification of appropriate settings, and actual image processing without requiring user intervention. The system serves itself by autonomously selecting optimal settings and generating processed images, thereby significantly enhancing user convenience while the added complexity is confined to the automated control logic.

AI summary
An image processing apparatus includes circuitry to set first setting information regarding an input image generation process; acquire an input image in which a medium is imaged according to the first setting information; determine, based on the input image, whether the first setting information matches a feature of the input image; and identify second setting information matching the feature of the input image when determining that the first setting information does not match the feature of the input image. When processing the input image according to the second setting information is feasible, the circuitry processes the input image according to the second setting information to generate a processed image, and outputs display data for displaying the processed image on a display.
