Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image processing systems face challenges in efficiently utilizing processing resources and reducing communication network traffic while satisfying constraint conditions, particularly in deploying image processing applications across multiple servers, leading to suboptimal application capacity and increased network load.
Innovation Solution
An image processing control device determines the type of transfer data as moving or still images based on the processing rate of the image processing program and selects an appropriate deployment destination among multiple information processing devices, adjusting the image rate and data volume to minimize network traffic and optimize resource utilization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If image processing programs are deployed across multiple information processing devices, then processing capacity is improved, but communication network traffic increases and resource utilization becomes inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the image processing system into multiple information processing devices, each capable of independently executing image processing programs. This segmentation allows the system to distribute processing tasks across devices while maintaining autonomous operation at each node, thereby improving overall processing capacity without proportionally increasing network traffic for coordinate transformation and other basic operations
Solution Approach 2:
Each information processing device is configured with local coordinate system definitions and transformation capabilities specific to its position and function in the robotic system. This local quality approach enables each device to perform coordinate transformations independently using locally stored transformation parameters, reducing the need for centralized coordinate management and network communication
2Productivity
If image processing programs are deployed across multiple information processing devices, then processing capacity is improved, but resource utilization becomes suboptimal
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal image processing program that can execute on any information processing device in the system. This multi-functional approach allows the same program to handle different image processing tasks across multiple devices, improving resource utilization efficiency while maintaining processing capacity. The program includes adaptive coordinate transformation capabilities that work across different device configurations
3Speed
If video data is transferred at high processing rates, then image processing speed is improved, but data volume and network load increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and separates coordinate transformation operations from the main image processing workflow. By taking out the coordinate transformation step and performing it independently using locally stored transformation parameters, the system reduces the amount of data that needs to be transmitted over the network while maintaining high image processing speed. Only essential image data is transferred, not complete video streams
