Image Processing Device Detecting Object Overlaps
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image processing devices cannot detect overlapping of another object at an arbitrary position of an object recognized from an imaged image, limiting the provision of various user interfaces.
Innovation Solution
An image processing device that includes an obtaining unit, a recognizing unit, and a detecting unit to identify and detect overlapping areas by comparing the imaged image with a registered image, allowing for the issuance of commands and display of icons on the overlapped areas.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If hiding is detected only from the variable area using separate guide portion and variable area, then the detection process is simple, but hiding of arbitrary position on the card cannot be detected
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by making the entire recognized object area serve as the detection area, rather than having separate guide portion and variable area. The object recognition result defines the detection area, allowing hiding detection at any position within the recognized object, thus enabling arbitrary position detection while maintaining processing efficiency through a unified approach.
2Adaptability or versatility
If overlapping detection is enabled at arbitrary positions, then various user interfaces can be provided, but the processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by first recognizing the object and determining the detection area based on the recognition result before performing hiding detection. This preliminary object recognition step establishes the boundaries within which overlapping detection is performed, enabling versatile user interfaces through arbitrary position detection while controlling processing complexity through a structured two-stage approach.

AI summary
An image processing device for recognizing an object corresponding to a registered image registered beforehand from an imaged image, comprising: an obtaining unit configured to obtain the imaged image; a recognizing unit configured to recognize an object corresponding to the registered image from the imaged image; and a detecting unit configured to detect, based on a registered image corresponding to an object recognized from the imaged image thereof, an area where another object is overlapped with the object corresponding to the registered image thereof.
