Image Processing Device Selection Position Control for Video Editing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional methods for editing moving images require time-consuming cursor movement to select starting and ending points, which can prolong the operation time for editing.
Innovation Solution
An image processing device with an acquisition unit, determination unit, and control unit that acquires serial images, determines specified sections, and controls the selection position's movement in response to user operations, allowing for quicker selection of starting or ending points by moving the selection position to the head or rear end of a specified section.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If the cursor is moved frame by frame to select the starting point and ending point for editing, then the selection can be made with precision, but the operation time increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary analysis of the moving image to automatically determine a specified section (highlight section) before the user needs to select editing points. This preliminary action provides a starting basis that reduces the time needed for manual selection while maintaining accuracy through subsequent user confirmation or adjustment.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of moving the cursor frame by frame through the entire image sequence, the system enables direct jumping to the determined specified section. This skipping mechanism allows users to rapidly navigate to the relevant portion of the moving image for editing, dramatically reducing operation time while preserving selection precision through accurate positioning within the highlighted section.
2Productivity
If the selection position is moved to the head or rear end of the specified section in response to moving operation, then the selection speed increases, but the control complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the selection position based on the current operating mode and user input. When in a mode where speed is prioritized, the system automatically moves the selection position to the head or rear end of the specified section in response to moving operations. This dynamic control adapts the behavior to user needs while managing complexity through mode-based logic.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically determines the specified section based on the moving image content without requiring manual analysis by the user. The automatic determination and subsequent positioning control reduces the burden on users while managing system complexity through algorithmic analysis of image characteristics such as brightness, color, or motion patterns.

AI summary
An image processing device includes an acquisition unit, a determination unit, and a control unit. The acquisition unit is configured to acquire a serial image obtained by capturing a plurality of images continuously. The determination unit is configured to determine a specified section of the serial image. The control unit is configured to move a selection position in response to a moving operation for moving the selection position in the serial image. In a first mode, the control unit performs control to move the selection position to a position corresponding to a head of the specified section in response to the moving operation, In a second mode, the control unit performs control to move the selection position to a position corresponding to a rear end of the specified section in response to the moving operation.
