Image Processing Apparatus Seamless Partial Image Arrangement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image processing technologies fail to generate a second image with a good outward appearance by effectively arranging partial images from a first image, often resulting in gaps between them.
Innovation Solution
An image processing apparatus that acquires first image data, specifies partial images, and generates a second image by continuously arranging partial images without gaps, with the option to overlap internal areas and adjust sizes and colors, ensuring seamless integration and improved appearance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If partial images are arranged to form a second image, then the utility of the first image is enhanced, but gaps may occur between the partial images resulting in poor outward appearance
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial overlapping arrangement where the second partial image overlaps with the internal area of the first partial image. This excessive action of overlapping beyond simple edge-to-edge placement eliminates gaps between partial images, ensuring continuous arrangement and good outward appearance while maintaining the utility of the first image
2Stability of the object's composition
If multiple partial images are arranged continuously, then the second image achieves seamless integration, but the arrangement complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the first image into multiple partial images and arranges them in a systematic continuous sequence. By dividing the original image into manageable partial segments and establishing a clear arrangement rule (continuous placement with internal area overlapping), the system achieves seamless integration while keeping the arrangement process structured and controllable

AI summary
An image processing apparatus includes a processor and a memory storing instructions, the instructions, when executed by the processor, causing the image processing apparatus to perform: receiving first image data representing a first image; specifying a partial image included in the first image; specifying an internal area included in the partial image; and generating a second image in which more than two of the partial image are continuously arranged as first partial image and a second partial image, wherein the second partial image is arranged continuously to the first partial image and overlaps with the internal area of the first partial image.
