Image Processing Device Segmentation for Target Selection Accuracy
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current technologies lack effective methods for improving the operability of selecting targets in captured images, particularly in sending control instructions, which hinders user interaction efficiency.
Innovation Solution
An image processing device with detection, first display, acquisition, and second display units that detect a position in an image, display an enlarged vicinity area, acquire target information, and display this information, enhancing user interaction by providing detailed insights into the target.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If the entire captured image is displayed at normal size, then the display area is maximized, but the user cannot clearly see details of targets for accurate selection
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen is segmented into multiple regions: a main display area showing the entire captured image at normal size, and an enlarged display area showing a magnified view of a specific region. This segmentation allows users to see both the overall context and detailed target information simultaneously, resolving the contradiction between display area and target selection accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by displaying the entire image at normal resolution in the main area, while applying high-magnification enlargement only to the specific region containing the target in the enlarged area. This selective enhancement of local quality allows accurate target selection without sacrificing overall display area.
2Measurement precision
If the image is enlarged to see target details, then target selection accuracy improves, but the overall context and other targets become less visible
Solution Approach 1:
By dividing the display into main and enlarged areas, the system maintains visibility of the overall image context in the main area while providing detailed views in the enlarged area. Users can monitor multiple targets and understand spatial relationships in the main area while examining specific targets in detail in the enlarged area, thus maintaining adaptability while improving precision.
Solution Approach 2:
The enlarged display area acts as an intermediary that provides detailed information about a specific region without replacing the main display. It serves as a supplementary view that enhances target selection accuracy while the main area continues to provide overall context, resolving the contradiction between detailed view and overall visibility.
3Ease of operation
If traditional target selection methods are used, then the system is simple to operate, but the operability for selecting targets in captured images is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically detecting potential targets and preparing an enlarged view of the region containing the target before the user makes a selection. This preliminary preparation of the enlarged display reduces the time needed for accurate target selection while maintaining ease of operation through intuitive interaction.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback by displaying an enlarged preview of the selected region and target information before final confirmation. This feedback mechanism allows users to verify their selection accuracy immediately, reducing selection errors and re-selection time while maintaining simple operation through the intuitive enlarged view.
Data Source
AI summary
An operation performed for designating a position in an image is detected, and an enlarged image of a vicinity area at that position is displayed. Information regarding a target appearing in the enlarged image is acquired, and information regarding that target is displayed.
